If only the Republicans had the political instinct and common sense to see the opportunity Dingell is offering here. If only the Republicans had brains. If only the Republicans were... Republicans.

A few are. Not many. Most are whimps, wusses and boring spineless beaurocrats. Too bad. There was a time when I had high hopes for the Republican Party.

I still vote for them — I’d rather vote for the Stupid Party than the Evil Party any day — but my high hopes (with a few exceptions) are long gone.

I know what you're saying, but somehow the mentality of the Republicans seems to be: "Golly gee...we lost the last election big-time to the Democrats, so we better become like the Democrats so we don't keep losing." The Republicans have abandoned the very principles that put them in power and are now the same tax-and-spend jerks as the Dimocrats. When are they going to realize that I know how to spend my money better than they do.
