Nope, it has not. Just look at who its 2012 establishment-anointed front-runners are.
I don't see any front runners. I see a mess of candidates with no real stand outs.
The GOP better forget about all the neocon losers they currently have in the running if they want a chance to make a comeback.
At least in terms of spending, I agree. We need a strong fiscal conservative who will cut taxes, close down most government departments (like education, interior, etc.) and dramatically cut spending...including spending on useless foreign aid and wars.
(I do support Afghanistan, however, as they attacked us. But this nonsense about Iraq, Yemen and now Haiti is just flushing money down the crapper.)
