Funny, we’re supposed to have a somewhat conservative country as well, but the Gov’t. has always leaned left and continued to grow regardless of who is President – although it grows much faster when the Demonrats are in charge. If there’s one thing the RINO’s love, it’s when the rats are in charge, and the money on K-street is flowing into their pockets.
Unfortunately, like Canada, we don’t have many conservatives that are willing to lead and actually represent the people. I think a trucker revolt here in the states would be met with the same response except it would be stopped at the point of a gun.
