And todays Democrats really now have more of the core Republican beliefs than the Republicans themselves. Can we say smaller government? How about fiscal control? Whats your point?

yeah sort of, I know the recent terrorist attacks have made the republicans wanting larger gorvernment envolvement. they are not for bigger governement overall. As for fiscal control, the only reason this is a point this year is because of the deficit that was created by the dot com bust and 9-11 and of course the war. spending increases and tax income decreases with poor a economy create a large deficit that is not really something the president could have avoided unless taxing the shit out of everyone. which I don't think anyone wants.
And as for my point you were saying that our country was founded by liberal ideas, well those people were mostly considered republican by todays standards.
