Politics has become a parody of itself. The best, the brightest, and the bravest are not seeking public office. When the choice is between what is right and what is popular, what is popular wins out.
To say what today's Republicans are is conservative is a joke. This is a party that would:
- Criticize Richard Nixon as being a tree hugger.
- Blast Reagan for spending too much (under him as Gov, California state spending increased by 177%).
- Hammer Barry Goldwater as too liberal on social issues (actually Ann Coulter said he lost in '64 because he was "too liberal").
- Attack Eisenhower as anti-American for cautioning against the Military Industrial complex
