Never underestimate the American yearning for the quick fix.

If Republicans are elected to majority in November and don’t give them a quick fix, many independents and even Republicans will be out looking for another one, or a man on a white horse...

Tyranny is often the result of such a mind set.

I think that is part of it, but the bigger piece IMO is that the GOP needs to have an actual vision, plan and measureable goals going into the 2012 election. Not just complaining about the chosen one, with no mention of what/how they would do differently.

Someone here had a quote to the effect of ‘All we get from Dems are lame ideas, and all we get from the GOP is lame criticisms of those ideas’. I think it is pretty spot on.

Excellent insight and reasoning. This is along the lines I have been mentioning the last few weeks. There is too much talk of this election being our salvation. It is not, there is much work beyond it.

Hopefully, someone has a plan and the electorate the wisdom to stick to it (the plan) and allow the elements of the plan to work.
