There are times when We The Serfdom just do not appreciate the ivory towers so needful to our more than equal elite betters, who are also in the GOP.
Election time is one of them.

    Rush would argue with you that he is for limited government.
    I've been listening to him since the 90s.

    We (I am a former republican) were used to be called Regan Republicans i.e. defeat communism, free markets, limited government now were are now call by Rush the establishment.
    The problem is not me but Rush who turn away from limited government to big government statism / populism. For me I could conservable vote for Hillary being Cruz and Trump is no better or Trump is far worst. But do not worry I vote for Bill the Cat or Libertarian.

    When the last round of inflation, devaluation and debt repudiation left you with 30% less buying power did you notice Gates wealth went from 40 billion to 80 billion? etc. etc. etc. What's it going to be after they pull off the next one to pay for the last one?

    I don't care for the Royal House of Bush either.
    At least we don't have to worry about Sir Jeb anymore. I hope.
    Shall we all roll over for Hillary due to the last El Presidente Bush being seven years gone in our rear views?

    The Bush's gave us a much expanded police state with assit from 'Bubba. 1979 four federal police agencies now every one including probably the tea sipping board has their own police force. But then the Bush's were way left of center

    Good points.
    You'd think Koch would be also frustrated with the GOP, which he supports with big money, becoming a wimpy wing of the Democrats.
    Such is a reason why Cruz is hated by much of the GOP.
    Of late I've come to dislike Cruz but not because of his conservatism. I can still bring myself to vote for him against Hillary.

    I read it as not so much a support of Hillary as of the fact that, economically, Bush expanded the government more than Clinton. There is a frustration that Republicans talk better but act worse.

    Bush II gave us No child left behind, medicade part D and the "too big to fail" bailout.

    Bush I gave us the Americans with Disabilities Act.

    And, lest we forget, we got the EPA and the endangered species act from Nixon.

    A libertarian, like Koch, has to be frustrated -- as is everyone here.

    Holy crap! You'd think the Koch brothers would at least like Cruz's rhetoric about smaller government.
    For William Koch to say that a corrupt lying dirt bag who belongs in prison "may" make a better president boggles old dino's mind.

    Why not start an actual republican party and get rid of the conservative party. I am getting tired of them and those that make up the village board where I live. The busy bodies put in an ordinance that I missed about any kind of vehicle or trailer parked on private property that the police have not seen to move at least in every 10 day period will be declared a junk vehicle. So my licensed, insured, and operable second car which I do no drive in the winter and kept parked in my driveway is now at a junk yard.
    I would hope that if the GOP were to crack up that they would vote Libertarian. But that is not likely since neither party has the goal of liberty. They just want to unit and rule.

    I have heard this argument and believe it. . these people
    have a national industry built around government graft
    and things which disturb it are attacked viciously. -- j

    Too conservative to be GOP. And Perot wasn't GOP. His run for president actually made it worse. The parties changed the law to repress any third party chances after Perot.

    According to whose definition? Keeping it mind it has to be one of the definitions of those times and will not apply prior or after. Some would call him a populist. I prefer to think of him of some one who understood the importance of being loyal to their troops or employees instead of demanding respect earned it.

    Conservative and liberal have been turned into tapioca pudding amd liver mush. Meaningless as far as the context of 2016 is concerned. They elicit no respect nor loyalty but as was said in another thread or two a combination of disgust and vomit.
