Great article about this on CNN.com with insights from Ron Paul.
Commentary: GOP should ask why U.S. is on the wrong track - CNN.com
Best quotes are:
In the rise and fall of the recent Republican reign of power these past decades, the goal of the party had grown to be only that of gaining and maintaining power -- with total sacrifice of the original Republican belief in shrinking the size of government.
The Republican Congress never once stood up against the Bush/Rove machine that demanded support for unconstitutional wars, attacks on civil liberties here at home, and an economic policy based on more spending, more debt, and more inflation -- while constantly preaching the flawed doctrine that deficits don't matter as long as taxes aren't raised.
Party leaders concentrated only on political tricks in order to maintain power and neglected the limited-government principles on which they were elected.
To the right-wing critics who are sure to follow, the words above are those of Ron Paul, one of your own
