I never said that those presdients were not good men; Grant was actually a miserable failure and an acute alcoholic. Both Lincoln and Roosevelt were much more liberal than the curretn conservative base will admit: that's why they never bring those guys up. What I have said numerous times, is that my respect for the Republican stopped at Dwight Eisenhower. Since Dwight Eisnhower, the Republicans have done nothing that added up to any good whatsoever in the way of governance. Therefore, I maintain my argument that the Republican party has zero to run on. That's why they spend so much time just running other people down! Imean; think about it: have you ever wondered why the Republicans don't just match good deeds head to head in their campaigns? Because they have no good deeds to run on, that's why. At the very least, Obama succeeded where Truman left off in opening the door to health care reform. Where were the Republicans while all this was going on?
Obama is no hero of mine; of that you can be sure -- but he's not a Republican drawn from today's Republican field either. Romney is going to get hammered, only becasue he's a Republican; I mean as Republicans go, look at the record he's follwing!
Hey, I sympathize with you; I'd like nothing better than to see the Republicans proveably change their agenda, their tactics and actually prove to this country thay have our best interests at heart.
Yeah. I understand that. My point is still regardless of who's to blame, our government is not very efficient. And that is the main cause of our problem in this country in inefficient government with mostly greedy people in charge. It's the main reason I identify as a libertarian. I don't want government managing my life because it can't even seem to manage itself.
