Hastert should not do this. His ACU ratings are fine, but he allows the whole House to spend like a drunken sailor!
Somebody should challenge him BIG TIME!
Agreed that the whole of the GOP has gone on a spending binge.
But I don't think it matters who we elect anymore.
They are all depending on a SCOTUS which will stop them, not doing jack to stop the spending. Even Bush. And the electorate certainly isn't stopping them, either. Everyone seems to be eager for SOMEONE to do the heavy lifting for them, someone to pin the blame on and get them out of trouble for making the cuts required to get the federal govenrment back to reality.
That's why this SCOTUS appointment is so important. And why I'm so unhappy we don't know for sure where Roberts stands on the proper limitations of constitutional federal government.
