Gingrich resigns, Livingston resigns, Duke Cunningham resigns, DeLay resigns, and the remaining Republicans give new meaning to Pork Barrel Spending.

The Republicans deserve minority status for awhile.

You remember the 1994 elections. The Gingrich revolution. In 1995 the pubbies passed an “austere” budget. Bill Clinton vetoed it not long before Christmas. For weeks the popular culture, the old media, TV talk shows, all newspapers ripped the GOP apart for putting government workers on the streets, halting welfare checks, etc. You also remember “The Gingrich That Stole Christmas” news mag cover. This happened to the most conservative Congress since the 1930s.

Our guys learned their lesson. The people and our culture as a whole, don’t give a rip about the Constitution, so why fight it?

How many at this forum would give up their jobs for esoteric ideals that few believe?

We Americans, however, don’t.
