Right. You just keep believing that. Remember a term: "Reagan Democrats"

LOL! Republicans have a right to dream don't they?

Republicans have every right to dream. I'll tell you a story. This Republican has dreamt. I dreamed of another Reagan. I dreamed of republican majorities and smaller government. I dreamed of getting government off my back and out of my wallet a little. 4 years ago I lost all that I owned to a house fire. I worked my butt off to clean up from it, got the job of my dreams after pursuing it for years, got my first real home a year ago and with things finally looking up in my life, I'm notified that my job will be outsourced within 18 months and possibly as soon as May. This is due in large part to Nafta.

Now, My government has largely sold me out on my dream. My own party is doing nothing about it and many of you just flat don't care. My employer obviously doesn't care about anything but how much money they can make by selling me out.
I've been hospitalized twice in the last year and have been unable to save anything as a nest egg because of it. I'll be lucky not to lose everything I have. Now. Look at that and consider that every person who's job is outsourced is dealing with the same thing: Being sold out by Government, Employer and political party - all three. You tell me how I'm supposed to stand up for those who won't stand up for me and I'll pass it along to those who are grumbling around me at work and at play. This is a two way street until, apparently, you guys find someone that doesn't matter. I'm not going anywhere. I believe in Republican principles. But if you think there won't be a price to pay, you're right out of your bleatin mind!
