The events of 9/11 aside, I felt a huge sense of betrayal when republicans took control of everything in 2001 and squandered it rather than getting to work replacing the tax code, reducing the reach and size of federal government, and reforming entitlements. Instead we got more government involvement in education, more environmental restrictions, and a more convoluted tax code. I have little real hope of a Romney administration not making the same mistake, but it has to be better than another Obama term.

Talk to Senator Jeffords ~ his behavior should have forever after discredited every RINO, but now we got one running for President.

At some point Republican leadership in the Senate needs to simply EXPEL a guy like that if he's the problem. Fake Republicans just gum up the works

Very well said. I agree w/ your assessment on both the Bush years and w/ Willard’s potential. If the House, Senate and President are all of the same party...will they all do the right thing? Or....will they go back to a big government approach w/ even more debt?

We shall see.
