It was clearly a joke to illustrate the point that the GOP has moved to the left, which is patently false. Ronald Reagan would have been drummed out of the party. GWB now seems like a centrist. The GOP has actively been purging moderates from the party.
Quote:Are you unaware that Bush went Big Government? He massively increased government, as has every republican for the last 30 year - That was the point of the joke. To say your GOP move more to the right is absurd,
In fact, I've made that very point to you. Libertarians vote for the GOP only to be thrown under the bus, just as Democrats use and throw under the bus the Progressives. Maybe we're working with different definitions of "right" and "left". Are you defining "left" as "authoritarian"?
Quote:Bush expanded medicaid/medicare,Only in a big giveaway to big Pharma. This is not a policy embraced by liberals.
Quote:doubled the Department of Education and Department of Energy,NCLB has been a disaster for our schools and is a stepping stone to privatizing all education. The Department of Energy was reworked to benefit the energy corporations. These are not left wing.
Quote:set up more regulations, got more involved in the markets,? Republicans pushed for deregulation. That's why we had the meltdown.
Quote:set up the department of homeland securityAre you saying this was liberalism at work?
Quote:and engaged in stimulus spending??? Did I miss it? I thought his "stimulus" was the tax cuts he gave to the wealthy.
Quote:You know there are more libertarian leaning representatives than ever?I've never heard of them. They're being really quiet. Maybe they're waiting for the right time to strike?
Quote: That Ron Paul is one of the GOP frontrunners?
That WAS a joke, right? Please tell me you were kidding.
Quote:Much better than your "Change we can believe in", where the "change" is making clanging noises in the pockets of the multinational banks.
Did I mention that Democrats throw US under the bus much the same way that the GOP does to libertarians?
