Since the dawn of the progressive era (Roosevelt / Wilson) we have had Presidents taking office and setting a broad political agenda trying to lead all branches. It has weakened Congress to the point where they are nothing but party machines pitted for votes.
I dislike Cain and now Bachmann linking their candidacy to a specific legislative wholesale change to the tax code which has to originate in the Congress for them to even sign. The sales process for the Flat Tax or the Fair Tax is a long and complex issue for the electorate to digest and to make it have to be accessed prior to "buying" the candidate in general is reducing that candidate to a single issue person.
Repeal of ObamaCare is a given, that issue is well known, but taking a taxing method and completely changing it is a four year process at a minimum by the time you clear all the hurdles.
I am looking for these guys to say "let's send home the communists and get back to plain old America" or a similar message that basic -- not asking the voter to evaluate an entire tax code overhaul to even consider them.
My dream would be Bachmann/West with Palin as energy secretary drill baby drill.
As far as abolishing all big gov. like I like in Ron Paul it ain't never gonna happen. Even my dream scenario of Bachmann/West with Palin Energy Sec won't either but it is a better HOPE than Romney or Obama.
