Thanks for the ping bamahead.

Jeff, MOST of your points are excellent and dead on IMO. BUT....

You no doubt recall the "conservative" revolution of '94 when Pubbies won both houses of congress. They began implementing "change" we could in fact believe in. In fact the only item in the Contract With America that failed to pass was, you guessed it, term limits. Oh well, we can't have it all right.

The elections of 2000 puts a Pubbie in the White House and made it a clean sweep of DC. The adults were back in charge, or were they? Actually, things went fairly well for a time, then THEY TOO caught Potomac Fever and began overstepping their Constitutional chains. After the dust settled the only difference I could discern between our guys and the Dims was WHO the beneficiaries were of taxpayer generosity.

My FRiend, we need to implement some fundamental change of our own; not so much change, but a return to the fundamental principles of our Constitution. Hence, my support for State initiatives putting the feral government on notice under the auspices of primarily, the 10th Amendment. Even this is only a start though and given the culture and momentum of marxist idealogies, won't soon turn the beast into the servant of the States and The People it once was.

There needs to be a starting point and the 10th Amendment movement is about as good as any. In fact, I believe it may be our last hope of recovering our Republic. Your mileage may vary...

I agree. The GOP candidates, far too many of them, abandonded their principles and their base and got caught up in the guise of so-called "compassionate conservatism" which was used as an avenue to the same old spend, spend, spend tactics fo the leftists. Different programs perhaps, with what they hoped would be different results.

But mainly, it was about trying to buy constituents and loyalty with their so-called "compassionate conservatism", and besides being just flat a$$ed wrong, it could not hold a candle to the letftists for give away purchase of votes. The people inclined to be "bought" always go to the highest bidder.

So, those turn-coat and misguided GOPers got their back sided handed to them on a platter by the very people they were seeking to purchase...and by their own base who were disgusted at the attempt.

That HAS to change, and we have to have political candidates who will be patriots ands statesmen or there will be nothing to win the country back for.
