But when you crush the American spirit like the party has done, people will start to want the government to handle their problems, and make their decisions and that's when we end up becoming socialists, and the American Dream dies.

I can't support their platform. And what they did get me with...smaller government, less restrictions, and no deficit has been tossed aside. Now, they are the party of economic and social warfare.
On their own people..the American people not just those who cut checks for their campaigns.
I can't support what the party has become. Doesn't matter who it is that is standing on the platform...it's the platform I have a problem with.
McCain didn't support the same platform in '00. He does now.
(And an FYI-The US has been socialist since the new deal)
