Reagan was big government.  He cut taxes but increased spending.  The 
conservative movement never became conservative while they were in the 
White House.  It's a principled problem.  They cave in.  The left has it's 
good side.  It is huge on freedom of the press, speech, and liberty (innocent until 
proven guilty) violations.  Yet the left is unprincipled too and usually makes 
compromises as well.  It's the arbitrariness that needs to go.  99.9% of politicians 
are unprincipled.  Bush was a so called conservative too and increased the size of 
the government as well.  This is why conservatives are trying to find an identity 
with themselves now.  They haven't followed through on their values yet when it 
comes to shrinking the government.  There is a lot of sitting in the confession booth 
that needs to happen in all political parties.
  Governor of Texas is pandering to voters.  Never brought up much of what he's 
saying now until his election got in trouble.  He's been in office for a while now 
and turned a new leaf when his election was in trouble.  He doesn't look to 
be a very principled person.  Somebody that is strongly principled would only 
turn any tide in D.C.  D.C. is too strong for arbitrary politicans that look at the 
election numbers.  Need somebody that is virtuous and stands for what is right 
in the eyes of liberty.  That's the extent of their self-interest, that's all it ought 
to be.  Politicans, if they are to be virtuous, need to think of something more than 
their person.
