    It's probably a good thing they did. The republican party was always the party of bigger more centralized government. It was red from the start.

    poncho that statement shows that you really don't know what you are talking about. What you say is true about the Republican Party initially. The democrat Pary was more of a States Right party. That all changed with the Wilson administration. I believe Wilson was the first president to take the approach that the Constitution was, well you can read.

    Yes I can read and I have.

    Lincoln's biggest supporters were the "48ers" communists that fled Russia to come here. Many of them ended up being officers in the civil war and later on republican politicians.

    The republican party has always been about the centralization of government power and trampling states rights. From it's very beginning.

    Once I was a limited government republican conservative that believed like you all did in non interventionism and non nation building. Then along came the neocon regime of George W. Bush and all that went out the window.

    I stayed with the limited government conservative non interventionist non nation building platform while you all helped Bush double the size and scope of government, trash the constitution, weaken states rights even further, question the wisdom of due process under the law, helped create the "unitary presidency" and went off on costly nation building experiments that we're still involved in.

    Long story short. The majority of republicans bought into all the red white and blue warmongering anti constitution propaganda, I didn't. Turns out I was right, you were wrong.

    And now you say I don't know what I'm talking about??? You should have listened to me a long time ago and maybe we wouldn't have a president that thinks he's a king today.

    You all think the usurpation of power and shredding the constitution is a good thing so long as "your guy" is the one doing the shredding and usurping. Then you turn around and complain about it when "the other side's guy" is doing the shredding and usurping. That applies equally to republicans and democrats. You all want control but you only want "your guy" to wield it.

    That is good news.

    I sit here wondering why it took you so long to abandon the Republican party if they were communist from the beginning!

    I did visit the White House often while Bush was in office, a hold over from the Reagan Bush days. Actually that is the reason I am so anti Clinton/Obama. They took my sinecure away! However, I wish you had kept my part in those administrations a secret for a while longer, particularly my association with the Bush Administration.

    That is not a given yet poncho. Who knows what tomorrow brings but then "tomorrow never comes", does it!

    Really poncho! you simply depend too much on my abilities, great though they are.

    Is that the Southern y'all or the Yankee you all. Makes a big difference you know! Anyhow better my guy than the other guy's guy. Gotta protect my sinecure don't you know.

    You know what they say, whoever they are, power corrupt, absolute power corrupte absolutely.

    Same reason I enlisted in the military. I was young and naive. I was neoconned once. It never happened again. The majority of republicans here fell for it twice. Now the democrats have fallen for it, twice.

    The republicans got what they wanted under Bush but hate it now that Obama is using what they gave Bush. The democrats hated what Bush was doing and fought against it tooth and nail now they love the Bush policies because Obama is using them.

    But of course I'm the crazy one for pointing it out.

    Yeah? No kiddin? Did ya run into Jeff Gannon while you there? He hung out there quite often too.

    Tomorrow came for republicans in the form of Barrack Obama. Who would never have had all his "enhanced powers" had it not been the Bush republicans championing the shredding and usurping the constitution.

    It's a given. Republicans got what they wanted under Bush more CONTROL. Now they don't like who's wielding it.

    Deflection. Republicans loved it when Bush was usurping the constitution and couldn't wait to demonize anyone who wasn't going along with the program but now that a democrat is doing the usurping all of a sudden republicans are for defending the constitution.

    So Now I should believe republicans are sincere? Uh huh.

    No it doesn't. Unless you don't want to talk about how the republicans sold their souls and their rights because they were afraid of the big bad boogeyman. Then it becomes an issue, or tries to.

    Remember that next time you're supporting a globalist posing as a republican.

    Which do you hate most poncho, globalists or neocons. I know what a globalist is but I an still trying to find out what a neo {new} conservative is. MP thinks they are Marxist democrats but I don't believe that.

    Globalists hands down. Globalists have co opted both parties and the mass corporate media.

    Neocons are anti communist. Going so far as to make up false threats like the Russian "phantom silent submarine" threat Donald Rumsfeld dreamed up. There was no proof of such so according to Rumsfeld the lack of proof was the proof. They believe in increasing military spending and war, wars and all out war and letting everything else go to the dogs basically.

    That's why when Bush came to power they played the terrorism threat to the hilt. Creating boogeymen for us to fight is what they do. Hyping threats and peddling fear is what they do.
