Are you getting the message yet?!
GOP Needs to Play to Strengths, Focus in Issues of Governing, Stewardship.
Yeah, I've been saying this for three years now, the GOP has abandoned the principles that got them the supermajority they now enjoy. And boy are they squandering that majority. Other than the Bush tax cuts (which for many have been eaten up by higher gas and heating costs and could soon be further eroded by increasing the FICA tax)...they haven't done a damned thing. Seriously?!
Now in the sixth month of Bush's second term, we still have nothing, other than the ill concieved and totally alienating "Terry's Law." Spending is out of control, Iraq is still festering, military readiness is at a dangerously low level....and I could go on, and on.
What do we have to look forward to as we go into the 2006 election cycle? Another crack at the Federal Marriage Amendment, A vote on the highly unpopular Social Security Reform Bill (Which Majority Leader Frist may bring directly to the Senate floor and bypass a committee vote), and perhaps, the nomination of a far right justice to the SCOTUS....
But is seems that voters are starting to get a little bit angry, like me, with the dissary with the GOP at the federal level...and they should, the GOP continues to blow it in major, major ways.
