I'm not a Republican anymore. My political beliefs haven't changed that much, but the party did a lot.

I'm for small government. And I'm personally socially conservative but don't think the government should be involved in mandating morality except for when it involves harm to others (murder, theft, fraud, etc).

Policy wise, I think the GOP should be more about actual small government than just being about 10-20 years behind leftist policies (see social security or health care mandates)

Here's my question though. Can the GOP be saved? Can it be restored to actual fiscally conservative values?

I think it's clear that all politicians seek to expand the power of the government. All parties are beyond restoration.

I started growing potatoes in my backyard. Any tips to stop my dog from digging them up repeatedly?

Personally I'm just try to relax and ride things out. I'll be chillin and grillin

Yeah. I used to be way into politics and loved debating. But not so much for the last 5-6 years. I'm just focusing my attention on other things that I think are more worth my time and efforts.
