I figure the birth cert is the pry bar to let loose all the other documents.

I would hope the Republican sec'ies of state in the various states will grow a pair this year and make it clear that Obama will not be on the ballot in their States in 2012 if he pulls that stunt that he did with Hawaii again.

The problem as I see it is John Boehner and the established RNC game of cashing every political chip they ever get for small-change favors like tax breaks for various industries.



Another FReeper asserted it, and I really think he put his finger on something, that the GOP has been dedicated to Old Money and the Fortune 500, and to this end has cashed every political advantage for tax and regulatory breaks in backroom deals.

Since Reagan left office, only the Neocons and the Rush-and-Newt combination that gave us the Contract have been able to raise the GOP's game.

Ronald Reagan was a great President, but the only reason he got the chance was that Main Street raised him up and he swept to two back-to-back landslide victories. The Republican Party and RNC never wanted him, or any of his policies. Look what Poppy Bush and Dick Cheney did to the military, the minute they got into office. Shrub, too, embarked on the same course in 2001, and was only reversed by 9/11.

The Tea Party is the new Contract, and I hope they can raise their game and expand their agenda beyond the narrow taxes-and-government dyad on which they've heretofore concentrated.

Why so narrow a focus for the Tea Party? I wonder at that, and whether backstairs RiNO influence is again "turning off" social-conservative themes and support.
