Like Europe did?
I believe that happened in '92 and '96.
Some of us have been fighting the growth of this monster called the federal government for over forty years.
This giant vacuum that consumes the rights ,freedoms and dollars of every hard working patriotic American in this country.
It is so controlling in it's reach that it even governs and consumes the rights of millions at the moment of their birth by puncturing their brains and dismembering them or starving to death those that are old or sick so it can save a few bucks to give to the PLO.
The Republicans were given a once in a lifetime opportunity to down size and rein in this beast and return some of the power back to the people it was supposed to serve.
It has long ceased being our servant and become our all-knowing master.
Instead they chose to make it bigger and more powerful.
The only thing they have downsized is that we need the most, decent paying jobs, secure borders and our military.
Now instead bringing some sanity to our courts by choosing judges who believe in the documents and the God who established our country, they choose to leave in the hands of men who think they are gods and know better what kind of laws and country we need.
The legacy of the Republicans and G.W.Bush will be that while they had control of the House, the Senate and the Presidency for eight years they have squandered the last chance our country had of surviving as a great nation and a beacon of hope for the ability of humans to govern themselves .
This chance won't come again.
The signs are everywhere for those that would see, that we are fixing to join the other great nations of history on the ash heap of "use to be" greats.
