It shouldn't be a surprise that many traditional conservatives feel the Republican party has lost its way.
What is surprising to me is that the democrats in only 6 months in the majority (it took the republicans 6 years to be so complacent as to turn away from ideals) are being power-hungry-soundbite chasers.
Recent legislation:
Free speech? There's legislation being put forward that radio stations which have conservative talk radio will be required to have equal time for liberal ones. This is so unbelievable to a party traditionally championing free speech and protests that I'm aghast. Hell, will it apply to NPR (which I have to admit in recent years has become more balanced). Imagine a show espousing the right to bear arms- and then having to give equal time to some control freak who wants to take it away? NFW.
How about this gem? The dems want a 'mortgage czar' to handle the current mortgage crisis. What a load of hooey. I think we can only blame the republicans for installing czars-de-jour.
