We can continue to have government of the elites, by the media, and for the money, or, we can build a political system that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people.
I choose the latter.

Given such a choice, I would choose the latter as well.
And Hoefling's platform looks sound.
What even Hoefling evidently chooses not to recall (since he invokes our 40th President) is that Reagan was at the end of the day an ideologically correct pragmatist. FEDGOV grew during his terms, he appointed O'Connor and Kennedy, anointed Bush 41 etc. Yet we look back on that era thinking, maybe even almost knowing, that he did about as well as he could under the circumstances.
Can we do better now than we did in the 1980s at protecting life, liberty and property, reining in the FEDGOV monster? I hope so, since the House is no longer in Dem hands. Will I vote for Hoefling rather than Romney? Maybe so, but, if I lived in a swing state, probably not.
And, lest it be alleged otherwise, I am not in saying Romney is like Reagan other than that he is at this point more likely to win election than any foreseeable alternative over an Oval Office occupant who needs to be made unemployed.
