You have to hand it to them. The republicans have a way of convincing he same people to vote for them over and over again even though they never actually do what they say. Whenever they are not in power they talk about how they need to be elected so that they can shrink the size of the government, cut taxes and reduce the deficit while spending money wisely.
Of course they don't do that. They grow the size of the government, spend money like crazy and increase the deficit. They did cut taxes under Bush, but it was primarily a tax cut for the rich so I'm guess about 95% of their voters really didn't see much of a difference.
