Rats will do zero, or much below minus zero. That's why I say vote for GWB but not ANY RINO in any other race. But I also want the Republicans to work for the vote, not just assume it and then work for others by promising my future tax dollars, or those of my future line. I want responsible Republicans, not way-too-clever strategyists.
The philosophy of liberty should sell without the welfare handouts - its that good. If it doesn't, maybe the communicator has a problem, either speaking it, having the courage to speak it, or maybe believing it. At some point if the ineffectiveness continues, maybe a new party is needed to galvinize action.
