It has long been my belief that when Democrats are in power they actively and successfully implement their agendas, but when Republicans are in power all they can manage is a holding action. Treading water so to speak. We never really achieve anything except slowing the Dems down a little, and often not even that much.

Am I wrong?

You are quite wrong. And it should not be necessary to list the thousands of reasons why.

You might start with the U. S. military receiving the respect and support it so justly deserves instead of being regarded formerly by the Clintons and other Democrats as a servant class...moving from there perhaps to our now being able to sleep at night because we know that the Democrats/liberals do not have their slimy hands on the mechanisms that ultimately shape the fate of ourselves and our families...and so on.

You might go on to our having now a President that answers to the Lord God instead of daily focus groups...Count your blessings, friend.

I think that you are right, in that Republicans don't advance a Conservative agenda when in office as much as they should - when you look at what's promised versus what is achieved...and before anybody says "well nobody believes what people say on the campaign trail", I would dare say that maybe we should hold people accountable to what they say on the campaign trail - if they can't get the job done, sorry, we'll support a candidate who will.

Unfortunately, once they are in office, for many politicians, winning the next election becomes more important than anything else, and many voters get into that mindset, and so they would rather support an incumbent Republican, rather than risk bringing in a new one.
