We all know the 'rats are horrible.

Give us reasons to vote FOR each particular candidate. If all that can be said of Ralph Republican runnning for Congress is than Davey Democrat running against him is a rotten scoundrel, we're going to lose. Again.

Everything went south with this Congress since President Bush was reelected. They were politically tone deaf and offered no major reform initiatives (they did pass Tort Reform, but that was the exception that proves the rule).

When a Party is devoid of ideas they tend to revert Pork Barrel spending to buy votes. The House Republicans also thought they were insulated because of gerrymandering.

We have lost a historic opportunity because the Party ran out of ideas. This did not need to happen.
