Unfortunately, it also shows that Americans are starting to think the contemporary Republican Party is capable of generating economic success.
I wouldn't say that. I think whenever a president has a low approval rating people will naturally look at the other party for alternatives. Also I feel TRUE fiscal conservatives are very capable of generating economic success unfortunately one of those haven't been in office in decades. I mean just look at Romney or Santorum's budget plans that actually increase the deficit and lets not get started on Bush and his out of control spending. Even Regan ran on a message of Fiscal conservatism then actually created two additional government departments in his presidency if I remember correctly. You can look at so many examples like the 2010 Republicans who got elected by running on tea party issues yet did the complete opposite in office and advocated overspending. This is probally why so many people circle around Ron Paul religiously, because he's one of the last true Fiscal conservatives who's been consistent on fiscal issues for about 3 decades. And by true fiscal conservatives I mean the Republican's who realize that you have to massively cut some social and entitlement programs whiles AT THE SAME TIME cutting massively from our defense budget ( Unlike Paul Ryan). Personally that's how I view it, if this county is gonna ever be financially stable we'll have to completely alter our current foreign policy where we get involved in all these undeclared wars and borrow billions of dollars to sustain them, whiles also cutting domestically from these entitlement programs and these inefficient government departments in which we just pump billions of dollars into.
Honestly the thought of our next 4 years under Obama, Romney or Santorum makes me cringe. Because it's either gonna end with extreme spending domestically or even more money pumped into our Military since the Right seems to be filled with war advocates.
