[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Sadly, it will take years of painful economic distress and ridiculous taxation for the American public to realize they have been lied to and are brain-dead for believing it in the first place.

That is, if they ever do........

The reason the American people admire Reagan so much was not because of his folksy style or his pleasant demeanor as the press likes to say. It was because he promised things, and he carried those promises through, and he did not abandon his philosophy when it came time to actually put it into practice even if it was hard. That is why he is a hero and a success.

I think Gingrich intended to do the same thing, and the American people gave him a chance, and the rest of the Republican Party, unlike Reagan, got scared when the opposition whined. Gingrich had the rug pulled out from under him and ended up collapsing into irrelevance. What little he was able to accomplish, Clinton ended up taking credit for.

The American people gave Republicans the chance after 40 years and we blew it.
