We're an empire now.. Republicans fall into three groups..

The strict "Fiscal conservative" group.. (I say strict, because all Repubicans are fiscal conservatives to some extent) Who don't much give a fuck about anything beyond budgets and taxes. Daniels and Christie were strong here, but it's a willful blindness to believe that all of our problems are monetary. Also, that all social and fiscal issues are neatly divisable... Because they AREN'T.

The "Social Conservative" group.. Sadly, many times the Neo's get in here and try to use moral issues as a cloak of legitimacy for their agenda.. Because they can't run on their REAL agenda. Nobody would elect them. So, they use these issues as camoflague.

The "Defense" group.. The bomb throwing idiots who a lot in common with the fiscal guys.. Except they won't accept that we JUST DON'T HAVE THE MONEY to do re-ordering the globe. They're all paranoid bed wetters, but.. sadly.. They're over represented in the Republican Party. It's times like this that I'd vote for a fiscal and socallly conservative Democrat over a Republican.. And for nearly half a century, people did.. till the radical liberals took over the Democrat party.

Paul is a good balance between these three positions.. It's a shame America has its head so far up its own asshole, or they might see this and stop peeing the bed at night and having homo-erotic dreams about torturing Osama Bin Laden.
