George S. Patton Party
Electioneering and failing to enact many of the the items in the "Contract With America" followed by 6 years of egregious overspending with a Republican President shows that the whole thing was a farce. It's why they lost in 2006 and it's why the only reason the GOP has a chance to retake the House is because of Republican candidates who are distinctly NOT like the GOP leadership.
And where does this leave the FARCE of Compassionate Conservatism...when it makes the GOP look like Statists? That just set back the GOP when they lost touch with the Constitution...and looked like fucking politicians disconnected from the people.
Yup.
Good slogan and good marketing. Bad implementation of Keynesian economics, which is flawed anyway.
Although I have to correct you, it didn't make the GOP "look" like Statists, it confirmed that they actually were.
I gladly sit here corrected.
