We lost 2006 because we spent years spending money like Democrats... we only got the house back in 2010 because Democrats proceeded to spend like Bolsheviks.
Mark Foley had a lot to do with the loss and you know it. Don’t try covering up for him or his little friends ~ the Republicans who vote do not tolerate that behavior. Democrats don’t care but they know how to stir up the Republican voters to just stay home.
