The Republican Party still stands for everything you listed today.

The Obama stimulus did not result in new dams or any great improvements to our nation. It was spent on no-show union construction sites in blue states like NY/NJ, repaving perfectly good existing roads at random here in the south, and blown on campaign contributor's "green energy" scam shell corps.

"government had a role in helping people rise to the level of their talent in their discipline, that sort of equal opportunity role"

Yep. Still our position. Throwing money at people to perpetuate a state of poverty and lack of education is not part of that.

Democrats have strengthened and preserved poverty.
