I would be careful to differentiate between Republicans and conservatives. I think if we learned one thing over the last 8 years, it is that not all Republicans believe in limited government. I don't think it would be unfair to say that our national debt is a result of a combination of the tax and spending policies of Congress unfortunately aided and abetted by the White House (for example, prescription drug coverage, education spending, etc.). I have never and can't ever imagine voting for a Democrat but I have been wildly disappointed with Republicans that have abandoned conservative principals and gorged themselves at the government trough (RINOs). The only thing worse is the Democrats.

So if you replaced Republicans with conservatives then I think you are dead on. By the way, I admire your desire to educate the economically illiterate but look at their candidate. When reminded by Charlie Gibson that increases in capital gains taxes actually results in lower revenues to the Federal government he incredibly still would not back down. It is all about "fairness" which is the incomprehensible idea that it is fair to steal money from the productive to redistribute to the unproductive, all at the point of a gun. Class envy, big government, stick it the "rich"......it's all so tedious.
