I'm beginning to realize the current crop of Republicans don't have what it takes to be a majority party.
I think that you're right... In the Bible, the tale is that the Israelites wandered the desert for 40 years... Many think that this was simply a punishment for the "Golden Calf Incident," but many believe that it was for a different reason. You see, the Israelites who left their bondage in Egypt brought their slave mindset along with them. It was G-d's will that they wander the desert until the next generation was born, brought up in freedom, and the older, slave generation had died off. It was only they that could truly be free.
The saying, "Free your mind, and your ass will follow" is really quite true. Most of the republicans still have the minority party mindset, or at least the mindset that they shouldn't do anything to upset to status quo. It's been more than 10 years now since the "Republican Revolution," and you'd think that they'd start getting their act together. I hope that it's not going to take them 40 years as well. I know I don't have that sort of patience!
