Look at where we are from one year ago. People are waking up. Folks who’ve been apolitical their entire lives are talking about the constitution, wanting to get government off their backs. The election this Nov. is crucial. We are working to get better candidates into office. With a huge win we can actually do some of the things we’ve longed hope for(with the will of the people). We’ll do it within the framework of the Republican party or we will squander this great opportunity.

Well, good luck. By November, there will be a $14 trillion national debt, and not a single solitary political figure having prepared the American people for what must happen to survive economically. What’s worse? A hollow victory with a continuance of the nanny state on a slightly slower march, or a valiant setback in which principled politicians finally got the debate onto a rational footing?

I’d rather prepare the ground for the next cycle by conducting an intervention for the American people - one that they might initially and suicidally reject - rather than hand them another lesser dose of the substance that they’re hooked on; simply to get into office without a real mandate.

"[IF] We’ll do it within the framework of the [current] Republican party or we will squander this great opportunity." is more like the truth.
