TIME TO FORGET MCCAIN AND FIGHT FOR THE FILIBUSTER IN THE SENATE
As a conservative first amd a Republican later, it seems to me that the Republicans need to be out of power for some time for their own good. As a conservative, I believe in small government and low taxes. But when was the last time Republicans stood for that? I'm actually in the above 250K income bracket, and I personally will be hurt by the tax increase. Here's the thing though, whereas I like small government and low taxes, I also believe it is the height of patriotism to actually PAY TAXES. Any idiot can wave a flag and put a flag pin on a jacket, but that's all talking the talk. Ultimately, how you walk the walk, how you atually demonstrate your commitment towards building a better country is by paying taxes.
Ideally, I would like a government that does remove the tax cuts + cuts spending as well, so we balance the budget and also, while we are at it, maybe attempt to pay down the national debt. That is true fiscal conservatism. But in neither case do I see it happening anytime soon. The one good thing I like is the promise from Obama's campaign that they will at least cut foreign aid.
