Step 1. Republicans regain majority control of House and Senate.
Step2. Elect a Republican President.
Step 3. Repeal Obamacare!
How many government programs did the GOP repeal when they controlled the House, Senate and Oval Office just a few years ago? Way too many Republicans have bought into Big Government too - they aren't quite as ambitious with their plans for government meddling, but they'll happily sacrifice free-market principles for a good spot at the feeding trough.
If free-market ideals - and I don't mean the BS lip service paid by way too many GOP blowhards - aren't welcome in the GOP, then it's time for the Tea Party to start fielding candidates.

The Republicans didn’t even get rid of PBS/NPR or the Dept. of Education as they once promised to do. Our last Pubbie President hardly vetoed a single spending bill, while the nation went deeper into debt. The Pubbies alienated the fiscal conservatives among the ranks of the Independents (and there are a lot of them). As it stands now, the next Repub. President might be Romney, creator of his own version of socialized medicine in MA, and a sleek, slimy, treacherous creep. Or Huckabee, who is a liberal on everything except social issues. We are in an almost hopeless position now.
