Totally agree, but when Obama condemned Citizens United during his first speech to Congress in 2013 it turns out he was correct.

I still remember Robert's shaking his head and mouthing, "that's not true."

I think if we work through the logic, the ultimate conclusion is, "All Republicans are liars."

Yes I remember that moment. It seems all conservatives are horrible in their understanding of good governance. I consider myself a fiscal conservative but I see no one with any degree of ethical fortitude. None.

Who would you consider to be a conservative today Bill? The policy set forth in Project 2025 is based on religion and what the Party of Trump thinks a family is. It's more based on patriarchy and white men being in control of government and the workplace. Specifically, they are setting up a unitary executive that they think will be benevolent, but how could they believe convicted felon DJT could ever be benevolent.

It's certainly not about balancing the budget. When was the last time Republicans balanced the budget? Smaller government only means we spend less of the budget on government personnel, but we see how well smaller government has worked out for the USPS under DeJoy. What a disaster.

Again, who are today's conservatives?

I'm a fiscal conservative, too. That's how I've survived as a single mother. Tax the GD Rich and fund national health care and release Americans from Jobs To Make Sure I Don't go Bankrupt from My Family's Illness, and just Watch the Economy, the small business, passion business, keep my parent's farm business go BOOM
