The problem is the Republican Party has transmogrified itself into something different than what is was back in the day. Republicans used to be less government, lower expenditures, and had a more fend-for-yourself mentality. These days, the Republicans are a right-wing, bible-toting, nose of the religious right?s ass, high spending, invasive of your privacy whack-jobs that loves guns and are twice as corrupt as their democratic counterparts that they once mocked that somehow thinks they are going to balance the budget while giving the ULTRA-RICH tax breaks.
