Looking back at 2006's election, I'd like to point out that hardly anybody mentions Mark Foley anymore. Just thought I'd mention that in light of the media firestorm that when added to the idiot and arrogant GOP RINOs gave the control of both chambers to the Dems. This is the DIRECT RESULTS of this action and yet there are those among us who are ready and willing to have a worse massacre in 2008 because the GOP is not yet pure enough.

While I do sincerely sympathize, someone far wiser than I once said that politics is the art of the possible. People like Thad Cochran do not get elected in Maine, Olympia Snow does (for now). If we lose, we are facing a resurgence of the Fairness Doctrine, higher taxes, weaker military, liberal judicial appointments and continued idiocies like this suit against OPEC.

I love my country and I'll stay here and fight against the outrages that will come under this scenario, unlike those who swore that they would flee the country rather than Bush in 2006. The idea that we can return as a more conservative GOP in 2010 and 2012 sounds attractive, but we will be facing a much more hostile environment if our opponents have that much power to play with.

I had to think about this for several months if I should leave the country when I sell my business this summer as I have a family to consider. I am staying too and running for Congress in 2012. Our fight will be bitter and be prepared to sacrifice for the nation for a large portion of the population whom would rather see people like us rot in hell. Correction of this nation will be painful and people in power to not give it up without a fight. I planned on retiring at 40 which is three years away. I now plan on retiring from business at 40 and serving 10 years to restore the country and in a way, I am not especially looking forward to diving into the sewers of power in Washington. But what’s a God fearing Patriot to do :)

MAY YOU LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES!!!
