I don't see what's going on now as "the republican party" while the party tries to use it to drum up their base and provide that common front, its not necessarily "their base". I believe that is where left learners and the GOP have a problem understanding what we true conservatives are really trying to get across here, we could care less about party lines we want less government control, a much smaller government, lower taxes and a government that is of the people and for the people, not the other way around! I don't give a rats a#$ about either party, they are the problem as far as I'm concerned!
