For further reflection consider the State economies of Michigan, New York and California.. States that have been under Democratic Party control for decades, NOW BROKE. There is an exodus from those states because of the increas in taxation on individuals and businesses... Do we really want the same thing to happen in the USA???? The tax and spend or "spread the wealth" ideology does not work....
South Carolina has been governed by conservative Republicans for decades. They are now broke as well.
I think that fact tends to contradict your conclusions.
The only thing your comment proves is that "tax and spend", in order to spread the wealth, only gets the same results no matter which party does it....For the record this is why Conservatives are taking back the Republican Party.
I doubt very much they were in fact REAL conservatives..... just misguided Republicans who had lost their way.....
That is one reason I am pretty sure I will never be a conservative. I am not real keen on deciding who is a REAL anything. A REAL conservative, a REAL liberal, a REAL American, etc..
Only time will tell if what is currently happening in the GOP is a sign of the party being "taken back" or being destroyed from within.
Personally, I am getting my popcorn ready, and laying odds that shenanigans such as those documented below are not conducive to building a national GOP majority.
Republicans have talked about building a "big tent". If your target constituency is the cross section of America that thinks pro life, pro gun military veteran Sen. Lindsey Graham is not conservative enough, you do not need a big tent. A couple of sleeping bags will do fine.

Scozzafava Calls the Cops
Lowville, N.Y.
Tonight, Dede Scozzafava, the Republican candidate for the November 3
special election in the 23rd congressional district, spoke to about 100 Republicans at the Lewis County GOP dinner at the Elks Lodge 1605. After a dinner of turkey, mashed potatoes,
and stuffing, Scozzafava fended off criticism that she wasn't as conservative as third-party candidate Doug Hoffman and urged her supporters to vote for her in order to
keep her Democratic opponent Bill Owens from serving as a rubber stamp for Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama's agenda in Washington. It was a fairly typical evening--until the speech ended and someone with Scozzafava's campaign called the police. On me.

During the 75-minute event, one man told Graham he had “betrayed” conservatism and made a “pact with the devil” by working with Democrats, and asked when the senator planned to change parties.

Rabble-rousing filmmaker John Ziegler interviewed American Conservative Union Chairman David Keene at the ACU’s Western CPAC yesterday, and he turned loose the bulldog style he usually reserves for MSNBC anchors. Ziegler confronted Keene about comments he made about Sarah Palin, and about the FedEx scandal. Profanity, threats of violence, and a “Kanye moment” ensued.

What in the world does the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus do?
We hunt liberal, tree-hugging Democrats, although it does seem like a waste of good ammunition.
