... The GOP has controlled both houses of Congress off and on for many years. They could have cut the size of government as much as they wanted. They didn’t want to. GW Bush could have closed every govt agency that was created by an Executive Order. Instead he came up with the prescription drug program and increased the size and scope of government.

Have you noticed how good the Republicans are at voting en masse for new government power grabs but seemingly helpless to reduce the size of govt? ...

Exactly right. Republicans had both houses of congress as well as the presidency when GW Bush was in office. What we got were illegal incandescent lightbulbs. I have no reason to believe we'd get anything different the next time around.

“Exactly right. Republicans had both houses of congress as well as the presidency when GW Bush was in office. What we got were illegal incandescent lightbulbs. I have no reason to believe we’d get anything different the next time around.”

Yes and its somewhat likely we will take back the Senate and then the Presidency in 2016. Raise your hand if you believe the Republicans will shutter even one rogue agency of this bloated evil behemoth of a bureaucracy. Do you think they will shut down the EPA, Dept of Energy, Dept of Educ, HUD, BLM?

I predict the new Republican majority will implement immigration reform/amnesty, fail to secure the border, extend the Patriot Act, fail to demilitarize the govt agencies and keep the TSA with their hands down your pants.

The new GOP globalists will likely have to repeal O’Care as it is crumbling under its own weight.

Paul Ryan will be in charge of the budget so tax reform will consist of “closing the loopeholes” which is progressive speak for raising your individual taxes whilst telling you they are lowering the tax rate. You will still pay more. No Fair Tax for you. You didn’t really think the GOP was going to let go of that easy peasy way to just take your money before it ever goes in your pocket did you?

Muslims will still pour into the country building their mega mosques in every city.

When Dubya got elected the first time I was ecstatic. I thought well in 8 years he will be able to do fabulous things like real tax reform yada, yada, yada. Instead he began to erect a police state, bulk up the bureaucracy and take us to war in Iraq.

I’m going to go vote in Nov and in 2016 and hope I’m wrong but who thinks I will be?
