Yes, the governor who loved the united states so much, he wanted texas to secede from it  Or whos big plan for jobs is to get all the governors together and pray to jesus to make the economy better (because his previous task of praying for rain worked so beautifully).
Whats that saying now, you dont get the government you need, you get the government you deserve 
The inconvenient truth here is, even though i might not disagree with your policies on everything (just most things )i do disagree with your party on everything. Shame really, as they do come up with a good idea once in a while (like the current health care reform, which was a republican idea ), but sadly the good ideas swim in a toxic pool of religious bullshit and sadly they cannot be compartmentalised.
And i would take issue with the alleged fiscal responsibility of the republican crop. Granted i dont know all the republicans, just the more vocal, media happy ones, bu among those that are in the spotlight i can only name two that align with your own beliefs, the terrible two of small government conservatism who are perceived as to fringe to ever be elected to the main office, Rand and Ron Paul. I still disagree with almost everything they say, but i at least believe them when they say they want a limited government.
I cannot say that for any other republican currently in office. At least the liberals have a "tax and spend" policy, the republicans have a "no tax and spend even more!" policy. Now you run your own business, i used to for a while, so we both should know that if one increases spending while simultaneously taking in less money, that person would be fucked, and thats putting it mildly. So from my point of view i cannot see how anything the mainstream republicans do could ever balance the books, as they seem to be unable to cut more than they are spending.
ANd i honestly cannot believe them when they say they are for a limited government when on one side they are crying for less regulation and on other are very eager to enforce regulation on everyone that doesnt align with their beliefs...religious beliefs that is, and here the inability to compartmentalise comes into play. Or do you have another explanation for why republicans (not a democrat among them) want to restrict abortion so much, they wont even allow it for rape victims.
Ill end with one of my favourite Bill Maher Quotes.
"Over the last 30 odd years, Democrats have moved to the right and the right has moved into the mental hospital. So what we have is one perfectly good party for hedge fund managers, credit card companies, banks, defense contractors, big agriculture and the pharmaceutical lobby... That's the Democrats. And they sit across the aisle from a small group of religious lunatics, flat-earthers and civil war re-enactors who mostly communicate by AM radio and call themselves the Republicans and who actually worry that Obama is a socialist. Socialist? He's not even a liberal." –Bill Maher
