Which is one of the reasons why I don’t think much will change even if the GOP takes back Congress in November. The people who will be running it - Boehner, Cantor, McConnell - are part of the problem, not part of the solution. It will take several election cycles to get anywhere near to where we want to go.
Then you mean never. I don’t think this country has that long as the country we know, unless something dramatic happens.
Agreed. I remember the '94 Republican Revolution. I was ecstatic that the old guard Liberals in Congress and Senate had been displaced by Republicans, finally. Tom Foley, the Speaker of the House, was voted out! The second time in history, IIRC.
Roll the tape to 2000: we finally have the presidency, barely, and Clinton is finally gone. We can finally start to SHRINK the size of government. Uh-oh, 9/11! Our priorities change! The conservative agenda is on hold as expected for such a tragedy. Now what? Deficit spending, growing government, new department, a what?-a new entitlement-prescription drugs? War not going well, Republican corruption, Amnesty, deficit spending still - the conservative agenda got locked in the closet, for the foreseeable future.
When the Repubs get back in office, I have little faith that they will reverse the Obama agenda, for instance, health care. We could be screaming from the top of our lungs to reverse it and they will panty-waist-milquetoat-meely-mouth their way out of not doing a darn thing. Somebody wake me up from this nightmare.
