This GOP is not about free markets -- it's about corporate welfare. You free market/libertarian types are being used. They pay lip service to the market ideals that you like, but if you want a financial responsible government, you'll have to elect Democrats. You'd have better luck joining the Democratic Party and working as a moderate there than you'll have in bringing around the people running your party.

I understand what you are saying, but I dont' think you see the whole picture.
At least the Republicans try and claim to be pro-business and pro-free market even though they don't live up to it. The Democrats often don't even hide the fact that they are anti-business and anti-free market.
The biggest threats to the free market (and prosperity) in this country (in my opinion) are the trial lawyers and the unions. These are two of the Democrats strongest constituents. I think I will stick with the GOP.
