I still say what I said after the 2006 election debacle:

"Once nominally in power, the Republicans spent & taxed & regulated like a bunch of Democrats- is it any wonder that the voters decided to elect The Real Thing?"

We aren't going to compete with the Evil Party by being ( "We can get you the goodies at a cheaper price" ) Democrat Lite.

That's my 2 cents, anyway...

AMEN, BROTHER!!! The GOP had a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to rein in spending and change the entire political landscape for good. Instead it threw money down the rabbit hole as badly as Dimocrats. It had 6 **YEARS** to clean up this country, and they BLEW it. They did it by abandoning their core principles, and now they want us to put our core principles in the shredder so we can "win"?

Not only are they unprincipled hacks, the GOP are STUPID. Yeah, I said it. The only winning formula for them now is to return to conservative values, yet wimps like McCain and Romney are running away, clutching their skirts.

Screw them!
