How can anyone be surprised that Americans are confused with the Republican brand? This was the party that once captured American hearts and minds by restoring focus to principles of limited government, traditional values and personal responsibility.
Apologies to George W. Bush, but time is too precious for tiptoeing around the truth. We've seen the biggest growth of government over the last eight years since Franklin Roosevelt, and the country is in a mess. It's only natural psychology to associate the mess with Republicans.
So far, McCain has not offered an alternative to the failed policies of Bush and the Republican regime that in the early 1990's seemed to offer a path towards smaller and less intrusive government. Of course, Obama does not even pretend to offer anything but more government intervention in our private lives.
