yes, it was a seriously flawed decision to back the socialist Specter. If Bush doesn't nominate someone like Janice Brown, then he will seriously impede the efforts to save this Republic from a certain death. The Rep leadership, especially in the Senate is beneath contempt. They have no true understanding of History, no true understanding of the pure evil of socialism and above all, a complete inability to lead and make the hard decisions to cut back government. The only valid indicator that Liberty will ascend once again in this Republic is if Federal, State and local government spending, employment and regulations decrease from year to year, over many years. The government parasite class is killing the capitalist system that made this country great. An example of the utter insanity of government is this simple example: In some cities, the government parasite class has no problem saying one must have a permit if replacing over 9 square feet drywall. How can the desk jockeys in government pass such ridiculous rules with a straight face is beyond comprehension. The parasite class at all levels in our Republic purposely inflicts more misery on a daily basis to the hard working citizenry than our enemies abroad. I see absolutely no indication that the Reps will take any action necessary to save this Republic. Heck, the spending under Bush has exploded and shows no sign of abating. The Liberals should be happy; by the most important indicators, they are winning.
Here in the Keys people routinely spend up to $250,000 for a "building permit", we have govt. out of control down here and getting worse by the day.
