No Pam, that is the point.  Republicans are no longer conservative and do not believe in republican values.  A true pity.  We need a two party system but why would anyone vote for a party that is not fiscally responsible and believes rights are only valid if they are in agreement with the party?  Hawaii has had some good republicans.  Before Cynthia, there was Mary George, who sadly has passed away.  I was pretty young when Quinn was around.  

I think the biggest problem with the GOP is that today they believe in big government.  Government will take care of you and protect you from the evils of today's society.  Well, I think I can protect myself, thank you, so that is why I am a democrat.  It is a shame that republicans have lost their way and today believe deficits don't matter.  How sad is that?
