Why is this GOP Congressman saying there is a Continuing Dumbing down of Republican Party?

Why don't these Republicans that finally get religion come out before they are going to retire ? They always speak up on the way out the door. And while they are stating facts. Why now? Why not all along? Its cowardice in my opinion. Just the same. Im glad he spoke up.

The problem is we now have Progressives in both parties, not just Democrats. Naturally those Republicans don't run as Progressives. That group is melding into creating one party. The conservatives are trying to preserve what is left of the United States trying to avoid the "fundamental transformation".

Bush was a progressive and so was his father. Bush the younger started a whole new welfare program with his tax cuts on the lowest tier even though he is blamed for crashing the economy because his tax rates were considered too low by the left. Now all the left wants to keep the low tax rates on all but the "wealthy". Those tax cuts would work well in an expanding economy in the private sector but Obama wants a welfare state and to run the whole show. I'm not sure who will win this battle but it is a battle for the life of this nation. You make it about party. Its much more than that.

I don't think we're just dumbing down the Republican party. We're trying to dumb down America in general and it's working!

when you have been a rhino republican your whole time in congress what would you expect him to say. His real concern is keep spending don't cut my retirement or health care benefits.

It is nice to see one side admitting to it. I wonder when Democrats will come out and admit it as well?

He is saying it because he does not be re-elected there fore can say what he actually feels
