spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the
genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

For the Republican Party it has been a continuous push to the right
extreme. John Paul Stevens was a lifelong republican, imagine that now?

The former party of small government is now to pushing toward the Tea
