A few weeks ago I saw an article in a conservative publication that said, "Calvin Coolidge had nothing to do with the economic growth of America during the 20's." I thought when I saw that, "What the hell?" Coolidge is a hero to Old Guard Republicans. What happened to the Party? When I grew up, every Republican I knew was interested in Small, Unintrusive Government, Low Taxes (not Zero taxes), Good Honest Government (most I knew were so put off by Nixon, the voted Carter in 76), and they were really uninterested in mixing religion and politics. What happened to THESE Republicans? And don't kid yourself, they were the majority of the Republican Party since Harding was elected. They have sat by and watched their party become a Theocracy and I don't hear anything from them. I've started a little campaign of mine, that I'd like all DUers to try. I call it Come Over Here The Water's Fine. Invite your moderate Republican friends and co-workers to do like Ariana Huffington and Gen. Wesley Clark...Come and swim in the Democratic Pool...The Water is Just Fine. What do you think DUers?
