The Grand Ole Party has seen its heyday, at least as long as RINOs like McCain are still around.
Nothing wrong with the libertarian view, nothing wrong with conservatism, nothing wrong with liberalism, etc. The problem is when goes out of his/her way to make comments to demean others without really working to push a positive approach to solving our political issues. It is way to easy to insult and demean...very difficult to come up with a well thought out plan towards resolving issues.
I often wonder what type of government and country we would have if we had a different system besides the two party system. I often wonder if it would make people work towards a common good instead of what we have now with two parties at complete odds with each other; and when they do agree it is usually over trivial items or it is simply a big knee jerk reaction to a situation that they later complain about.
