Yall, it will take a special person to, at least begin, the roll-back of the Democrat Socialist Rampage of the pass couple of years.
We have a history on most of the Republicans in Washington and in state-offices and that has been a history of the “ratchet effect”. They can’t actively support socialist programs so they let the Dems do the dirty work and then when they are in control again, they find every excuse under the Sun to not abolish the un-Constitutional programs passed by the Dems. They love that lard! They wallow in it! They no-longer get the same high from the control they have and they need more! They either maintain or increase spending so that the deficit still increases. Maybe slower than with the Dems but still it increases.
It has been said: “There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between Democrats and Republicans” and I believe that is a true statement. However, there are also individuals running as “Republicans” that don’t just play a conservative T.V. They are the real thing and I really believe that some of that type are already candidates in this election and more of them will be getting in.
For the rest:
I would like to see criminal charges filed against any member of Congress that votes for any law or program that violates the Tenth Amendment..
I would like to see the incentive to pander reduced by term-limits. I know there is a down side to term-limits but we are dealing with very flawed individuals who seem to be compelled to pander wrapped in the cloak of conservatism or compassion and, in some cases, to pander bare.
Meanwhile from the Oval Office Marathon:
We had: Bob Dole, Episode IV, A Knew (known) Hope.
Then we had: Bob Dole, Episode V, The Maverick Strikes Back
We don’t want: Bob Dole, Episode VI, Return of the RINO.
We need a candidate that will roll-back some of the largesse and most of the party favorites will be “Ratchet Men”. Of those who would roll back the Progressive Programs, we will be told: “I like them but they can’t win”. The future of our republic may well rest on our reaction to that assertion.
I totally agree! Seems the unconstitutionality of Obamacare comes to mind!
I would like to see the incentive to pander reduced by term-limits.
Absolutely! 2 terms, period! It has worked for many positions (including the Presidency) for quite some time..why not Congress? We are living in very scary times and if WE don't do something this country will not survive!
