“It’s long past time for Congress to take apart some of these unelected regulatory bodies and give us back our freedom.”

We’ll see just what the new congress does. Most politicians, after they’re in Washington a few months, seem to forget about the rights of the people.

You are unfortunately correct. As the slimy Trent Lott said, "They need to be co-opted", and the Beltway is perfectly designed to corrupt and co-opt them.

"If ya do what we want, you'll have this lil' privilege, and you know there's these hot lil' chicks over here who want you." Etc, etc, .....get something on them....got something on you, so you better shut up.

1994 all over again? I hope not. But, probably. We got a Republican President and Congress, and what did we get? A 50% increase in the size of gubmint. Should I be more optimistic this time around? Maybe I should be, but I'm not.
