What I mean is that year after year the party becomes less and less Conservative and closer and closer to the Democratic party. Why are there no good Conservative candidates anymore to support constitutional, fiscal and personal responsibility on a national level?
I opine that until a strong third party (Liberatarian? Something?) comes into play the parties will become closer and closer together "muddying the waters" so that the fight over the undecided vote becomes the battleground.
Right now the only issues really seperating the parties are not really constitutional issues at all: Abortion, Gun Control, Welfare, Social Security, Crime/Law Enforcement, Death Penalty, Taxes/Public Allocation.
Notice that all these issues are ones that were added into the mix well AFTER the Consitution itself was written. I find it hard to believe that the founding fathers could have been so short sighted by the "modern" view of government.
