Unfortunately we don't always have the best candidates but I still would rather have a Republican majority in both the house and senate than a Democrat. In 1994 we had a Republican majority in Congress and we accomplished something with the Contract For America. Our goal was a balanced budget and a surplus and the Democrats laughed at us and said it couldn't be done. We can elect GOOD people. The problem is that they need MONEY to get their message out. The news media ignores our candidates. Unless we support our Republican candidates we will end up with only one party in power and that will be the Democrat party. A one party system will give us a totalitarian government. A totalitarian government is a dictatorship which is practically what we have now.

As long as the Republicans in your model were enacting smaller government conservative legislation, I would be right behind you. But if it were enacting some of the same legislation that the Dems would if they were in power, then I'd have to say there would be a great deal wrong with it.

There is as much danger from having two like minded parties, as there is from having one like minded party.
