Those 8 reps, could have defeated that bill, same with the 3 Senators for the stimulus bill.

If those GOP'ers didn't cross over, the democrats would have had to rework the bills, and work with the GOP.

 The American people may have gotten a much better stimulus package. And a good energy bill. Had both parties worked together on it.

Sure the GOP can do something about the Democrat controlled House ...

It's up to us, my friend.  It's up to "we the people."  And it's gonna take some real willpower.

I'll be the first one in line cheering and supporting a genuine limited-government Republican, one who honestly accepts the government's limited role in our society.  But political party membership isn't good enough anymore.  We're out of time.

If we want change, if we want this out-of-control government to stop ... we're gonna have to put our feet down, hold our ground, accept no compromises, and yes ... be willing to "lose."  Because really, if we send another Big Government Republican to office, what have "we the people" won?  Nothing.

Partisan politics is dead.

Markets work.  If you want a store to improve its products and services, stop shopping (voting with your dollars) there.  They'll be forced to change or go out of business.  If you want a political party to change ... DON'T VOTE FOR (or send money to) THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, unless you're convinced they've honestly changed!

Most aren't willing to accept the reality yet, of what our (very) near future holds, and I have all the professional credibility to back up what I'm about to say ... We're going to experience another Great Depression.  It's going to be horrible and things will get ugly.  Add to that the rapid reductions taking place in our liberties, and it tells you one thing:

"We the people" don't have enough time left for a "lesser evil," a "different kind of Big Government," or to simply "beat the Democrats."
