CPAC - LIARS

The mood at CPAC was downtrodden, as the Democrats looked to soon be in control of all Congress after a twelve-year absence. What was just as disconcerting was the way the Republicans behaved during their decade in power. The Republican Party was now stacked with moderates who conducted themselves little differently from their counterparts in the Democrat Party on most pressing issues.

Unfortunately, a majority in Washington on both sides of the aisle were beholden to the media, because without the support of the press most recognized they would not win reelection. This threat was why so many Republicans were towing the line on many progressive issues.

The press viewed weak moderate candidates as preferable to traditionalists, and their election tinkering resulted in both parties behaving increasingly like liberals. The result had been the Republican Party ran up the nations debt, created a new bevy of entitlements and did nothing to stop the looming "Subprime Loan" crisis.
