p> Taking the Administrations of George W. Bush, his father and Ronald Reagan, 20 years or Republican rule, the Federal budget has been balanced just once. This is a stunning and reprehensible record for a party that used to be economic conservatives. No longer can the GOP claim to be economic conservatives though, rather fiscally irresponsible, negligent and wasteful. Between the 20 years of Presidents 40, 41, and 43 there have been 4 recessions, one surplus budget, the 2 worst stock market crashes since the Depression, stagflation of the '80s, and probably the worst aspect of Republican rule, the huge growth of the Federal government. Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, although rather vile individuals are spot on with their criticism of John McCain as unfit for the GOP nomination. If there is any Conservatism left in the GOP, and we now know there is no longer foreign policy and economic conservatism, the Republican Party must nominate Mitt Romney. br> -- Nathan Maskiell br> Melbourne, Australia /p> p> Juan McCain: Counterfeit Conservative.
