The GOP consistently disappoints me
So I don't know why, I still like to think one day I'll want to be a republican again, but I think this entire generation is done for me.
I was reading about Schock and I was thinking "huh, maybe we need young members of the GOP to freshen up the party", and I like his focus, cutting taxes: good, Slashing the deficit: good, credit card reform: good. Not that those goals are special, probably any politician will say those things are good. And then the article I was reading adds "oh and hes traditionall conservative on opposing abortion and same-sex marriage".
:(
Why is it the party thats about small government is all about small government and less regulation and interference in people's lives "EXCEPT" when its about telling your neighbor how to live their lives?
Its not the GOP's fault, its the members fault, I know that, but it just makes me sad how hypocritical they are. Its fine to have any kind of social values, condemn your sinful going to hell neighbor, but if you say you want small government, want small government, have the guts to stand up and say "I believe A, B, and C that people are doing is wrong, but I believe its up to the local community and not the government to decide those issues", otherwise how are we supposed to believe the crap coming out of your mouths when you're condemning the "socialist wackos" for trying to have government play babysitter for its constituents.
