Yes we did a good job in 1994. Newt deserves credit for it. My overall observation is that it only took two to four years to get those fresh young freshmen/women to fall in line with the seasoned dregs. What a sad turn of events.

Today we see the same old legislation passing with no problem at all. Back to ground zero...

How depressing. And why? Because the RP isn’t interested in shaking things up. RINOs are the flavor of the season. It’s not just our presidents. It’s our congressmen and senators too.

We’re in a world of hurt. If we don’t shake things up, we’re not going anywhere near the right direction. And with what is taking place in the early primaries, the future is looking darker by the moment.

We’re headed for a very dark next four years IMO.

Yep, 1994 was a success, but as new folks settled in they became more concerned with reelection and being Democrats give away government jobs, contracts and the treasury to get elected, some of those Republicans IMO moved a bit left with the pressure to compete.

Let’s face it, if the Dems had no gazillion government employees, and people getting benefits to vote for them, they’d never get elected.

Seems every election the Dems have 33% built in before they start with teachers, government unions, recipients of assistance and so forth. So in many cases the Dems have to find 17% +1 more votes when the Republicans have to get a whole 50% +1.

We have to reduce government employment and all that for both economic and political solvency’s sake.
