No, actually, this Liberal will heartily agree with you. For 3 decades the republican party has been hijacked by neocons masquerading as conservatives, when in fact they spend far more than the liberals ever dreamed of, only their spending tends to go to crap that doesn't help the society they govern. They lost this election because all the asinine "give everything to the rich and fuck everybody else" policies they've been ramming through over the years finally came home to roost and killed the economy.
