Agreed. But that's what we got last time and now we are all bitching about new programs and out of control spending and open boarders. These problems with W were clear from the get-go. We need somebody to step up that will cut taxes and spending, stay on the offense in foreign policy, continue strengthening the military, close the boarder and toss out the illegals (economy be damned), make the 2A the actual law of the land, tort reform, endorse term limits for Congress, and mow my lawn. (My version of the wish list in Shooting Times)
I don't think we need to take the attitude of "economy be damned".
I am pretty certain that's a way to defeat just by saying it.
What's the alternative? There isn't a viable 3rd party, and there are plenty of viable options within the GOP, but they need to be convinced to run for it.
Tancredo isn't one of those.
