[Round 9]

Agreed but this is cyclical and will pass. The economy is not going to only have ups and no downs. The Dems have no real solutions except to raise taxes. The independents don’t realize this.

And, it appears that a ton of Freepers don't understand about cycles as well! Whine, whine, whine!

What are the Republican solutions right. One of the reasons why I'm so irked at this is that the house leadership re-elected the same jokers in 06 who lost. Boehner and especially Blunt. They are Bush followers and not leaders.

I don't think this would have happened if Mike Pence and John Shadegg were in leadership. That would be real reform and real change. That would get our base back. That would keep the social conservative and get fiscal conservatives back as well. Right now democrats are polling better on taxes and spending of all issues. That's pathetic, and it's because our party screwed things up.

I'm only a republican right now because of the democrats, but right now all I can say as reasons are guns, judges, and that we suck less on other issues. We shouldn't suck at all.
