The GOP Discovers Feminism

The Democrat party was against ending slavery, against Women's right to vote, and against ending segragation at the onset of each. They then adopted (and hijacked as their own) the republican stance on these issues when they became more popular. If you look throughout the history of this country, Republicans, NOT Democrats, have been the overwhelming instrument of change and progress on major social issues. The Dems hijacked that mantra as well.

It's a shame that the republican party of the last 8 years has lost it's edge and gotten complacent. I think McCain-Palin might just shake them up a bit.

The republican's problem is that after 12 years they did not complete their end of the bargain. The bargain being the contract with america. Instead they allow the very author of the movement to be kicked out of the congress and started doing the exact opposite. You can't move a base of people that you screwed for 12 years to vote for you.

Anexample is their refusal to abolish education slavery..err.. i mean abolish the department of education. Instead they give government education MORE with no child left behind. And now we have stories like this coming to us on a daily basis: http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/story.php?id=208766&ac=PHnws

end point: they said "change" in 1994 and simply expanded failing programs. Education, Medicare, and Social Security.
