The GOP is corrupted, but it's by infiltrating RINOs and others from the Rat party who can no longer accept the Rat platform. Zell Millers are fabulous when needed, but when they come into the party, they also bring their social or financial agendas, and the GOP, to make new members (or non-member helpers) happy, give til it hurts the rest of us.

I am afraid you are correct. Newt Gingrich was a strong, conservative leader and the dems (with the willing help of RINOs) ran him completely out of town. This left a big power vacuum in DC which, I am afraid, the dems stepped up and filled. In the house we blew through a few leaders until we settled on (the relative unknown) Hastert. DH, as far as I can tell, is an appeaser. That is why the dems did not try to run him out. Over in the senate, as far as I am concerned, there was never a strong republican. There was Lott, but he was an appeaser. Now there is Frist, who also appeases. We need a strong republican leader. One who is not afraid to stand up to the dems. One with a backbone who is not afraid to let the dems do themselves in by allowing all senate business to grind to a halt by entertaining one full filibuster after another. That is how the American people will wake up to the shenanigans that the dems are constantly trying to pull over on "their people."

Interesting article. Maybe President Bush isn't interfering with the pork because he needs the votes for bills that he considers important, and he wants the Republicans in congress to exercise a little leadership and take care of the problem before a bill arrives on his desk.
Unfortunately, if that is what he is doing, it isn't working yet. Perhaps in this next congress he will have a better result.
