Reynolds makes a couple of solid points as to why Republicans don't have to break out their emergency pants just yet. The Republican congressional committee has three times as much cash on hand as the Democratic congressional committee; and, as the memo boasts, "redistricting has reduced the overall number of truly competitive congressional races."

Whoops. The Republicans seem to have forgotten that it's not about winning to conservatives ... it's about what you do when you've won.

The Coburn Amendment vote makes it clear that those Republicans who believe in reducing the size and scope of the federal government are the minority of the party, and the Republicans in the U.S. Senate and Congress are not interested in representing us.

But they'll be back around talking a good game when they want our votes.

Their job has morphed from actually reducing the size and scope of fed government, from doing anything except take more money and rights and to win elections. Who can campaign best? Wheeeee, I've got more money than you, I'm obviously the better candidate. Blech.

Clear 'em all out. And anyone who tells me- who are you going to vote for, a democrat? No, I can vote 3rd party or do a write-in vote.

I will no longer swallow my bile and vote (R) just to keep the dems out of office. That's how we got so deep in this mess.
