I understand what you are saying, bev.  But, muy opinion is that the repubs, 
at least the ones in the past congress were just as willing to centralize or 
, if you prefer, go socialistic, as the dems have in the past.

  They spent like dems on crack cocaine; they built gov't bigger with the 
gusto of barney franks side of the dem party.  When the people have two years 
to see that the problem was not that the republicans were too conservative; 

it was, instead,  that they let power and influence delude them into 
forgetting who they were supposed to represent; that they tried to out 
'democrat' the democrats....;then maybe the people will start looking for 
real 'libertarian ' minded conservatives.  

There are many of us out here.  We don't have to agree on all of the social 
issues.  Just make the gov't quit spending so much money, quit being involved 
so much in our lives, and quit making un-necessary laws.  

Then the people in the individual states can argue within their own borders 
how to handle those issues about which most people argue......bobford
