The media has a huge hand in this, sure. But fiscal conservatives have been complaining about the corporatists and big spenders in the gop since Goldwater at least. There should have been a popular backlash.
You can claim Reagan was that backlash, but he was just another big government guy. Tea party is interesting, but it seems like it has too many social conservative cranks to breakthrough.
- shortoncash 12y agoHow do you expect there to be a popular backlash if the the public is misinformed? It was even worse in the Goldwater days because there was no internet for the public to use.
