Give me some examples.
Republicans may not like as big a government as Democrats, but they do like big government
Simply look at spending.....over the last Presidents of either party....it's exploded!
Look at the growth of government over the last Presidents of either party....it's exploded.
Look at illegal immigration..the Republicans have caved and/or done nothing...it's exploded.
The stunning 2010 midterm election victories happened because a conservative opposition loudly and vociferously convinced a majority of Americans that ObamaCare would be harmful to them. And then that fantastic engine of change was packed away and replaced with political consultants who were all focused on seizing the center and offending as few people as possible. But you don't win political battles by being inoffensive. And you don't win elections by avoiding conflict.
The Republicans have basically sold us down the river to the statists/globalists.
Both parties are basically funded by the same corporate interests
Both parties are "owned" by big money and big banks.
Wall Street dominated Bush economics/bailouts and dominates Obama economics/bailouts.
The Republicans like Democrats are big spenders, paper-money inflationists and crony capitalists.
They pick wimpy ass cave in leaders like John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.
All money bills must originate in the House: Obama cannot so much as add one paperclip to this government if the House refuses to pay for it. They have way more power than they think. They can force Obama to heel in a thousand ways. They are terrible negotiators
The New Year's Eve vote (89-8) in favor of the fiscal cliff compromise engineered by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Vice President Joe Biden. All but five of the Republicans from this lame duck session voted for it: Marco Rubio (FL), Mike Lee (UT), Rand Paul (KY), Richard Shelby (AL), and Charles Grassley (IA). This was a violation of Republicans 2011 pledge to cut spending. The McConnell-Biden compromise spends $41 more for every $1 in revenue it brings in.
The GOP elites have proven that for at least the last 8 years when they have fought against or refused to help with funding campaigns of real candidates. When they have done redistricting as in the case of Allen West, withheld funding to Michele Bachmann who was up against serious money from the opposition, and the same with Sharron Angle who had no GOP support in her serious race against career politician Harry Reid.
President George Bush created "diversity visas" massively increased legal immigration and eliminated the English requirement on the naturalization test.
NJ Gov Chris Christie in a "love fest" with Obama weeks before the election.
Republican Supreme Court Justice Roberts ok's ObamaCare.
Despite lofty platform claims, both parties opted for $billion bailouts & $trillion deficits, favoring corrupt bankers over fiscal propriety and balanced budgets - they won, american people lost.
Both current & former administrations passed major changes to first, the Prescription Drugs Act and later, the Universal Healthcare Act, adding $billions to unfunded liabilities. Both Obama and Romney are in favor of State-mandated universal health care.
Both parties believe in welfare as a tool of wealth distribution - with different recipients.
One prefers to give it to struggling individuals and the other to struggling corporations.
the list goes on and on....
the Republicans are the lesser of two evils....but still evil
