Hail to the Populists

The GOP is now finished as a party. Rather it is now an animated corpse dancing to the tune of the populists. Fiscal conservatives are now an extinct species. It used to be that when money got tight, true fiscal conservatives would get angry and ask government to cut spending and lower taxes so that people would have more control over their lives. Now they turn to whoever says they will save us with more spending. McCain and Huckabee have won a combined total of over 60% of the vote in South Carolina. They will both continue to pick up steam and one will eventually get the nomination. In November we will get to choose which flavor of socialism we prefer. One that says it is favor of small government and lies about it (the GOP) or one that will increase government control a little bit more than that but will be honest about it (the dems).
