Never underestimate the ability of the GOP to shoot themselves in the foot.

Even they won't stop the bleeding of pork spending. We are in a war for our lives against a sneaky enemy that is hard to find and stop and they still have to fund the Peanut Festival somewhere.

No priorities at all. And to think the GOP used to stand for stopping this ridiculous spending.

Someone once argued with me that the sucess of the GOP was based on their numbers - the WH, the Senate, the House, Governorships, state legislatures, etc.

Who cares? If, with the majority, they act like Democrats then what's the point? Runaway pork spending. No accountability from Congress who are supposed to have oversight on the departments. Ever increasing spending on the baseline regardless of need or review. Regulations, regulations, regulations non-stop. A totally ridiculous prescription drug program with NO free market reform and usage as we cover rich seniors and play with the idea of drug reimportation (the stupidest idea since Social Security). Backing down on school vouchers to, for some strange reason, suck up to Ted Kennedy. Backing down on privatizing (eliminating is the best term, the Dems have that right...I want it eliminated since it's a rip off and a pyramid scheme times ten) Social Security and Medicare.

If this is what the GOP in power means, I don't want any part of it. Time to start a Conservative Party.

And when there are liberals in charge, thanks to your protest vote, you'll be sprinting back to the GOP so fast your head will spin.
