Now you went and made me do it. I’m (kind of) defending the GOP for the first time in a decade. Based on the numbers in congress, the GOP was totally powerless to stop this. What made this a 14 month battle instead of a 2 week skirmish was talk radio bringing the facts to the people.
The GOP did (finally) stick to it’s guns but was otherwise powerless. The people were opposed but ‘our’ government just ignored all of the rules and the people to shove this through.
The war is not over and I do believe that we will prevail.

The GOP — including Bush — led us to this point. They paved the way to Obama by abandoning free market principles, binging on government spending and not reforming when they had the chance. There would have been no Obama if the GOP had presented itself as a true contrast. Now, any time they talk about the deficit or government spending, they have absolutely NO moral authority — Dems call them on it, and are right too, weakening the debate against socialism.
Republicans and their families grew fat on government largesse, just like the Dems, making people like Obama a much more palatable option than they would have otherwise been.
People, get a clue. The GOP led us to this disaster. Bush I/Dole/Bush II — all big government accommodators.
I agree Badray....I just worry that we sometimes leave it up to Rush and others, when we really need to work harder to get our message out too.
And we need some new radical plans.
