Republican politicians are notoriously weak kneed. We may need another election cycle or two before we get real change.
You know, being Jewish, and it being Passover and all, your statement really brings something home... Passover is the story of the release of the Israelites from bondage, and their trek towards freedom. But that trek took them 40 years. Many believe that the Israelites were forced to wander the desert for 40 years because of their worship of the goldent calf at Mt Sinai. But there is another reason as well. It is said that the reason they had to wander for 40 years was because a new generation needed to be born and raised that could cope with freedom. In short, they had to wait until those with the old slave mentality died off.
Just like it seems that many republicans can't quite get the idea that they're now the majority party.
