Given the...No one has heard a conservative message. Given the current GOP leadership -- Boehner and McConnell -- we're not likely to get one.<br /><br />We need to face the facts, Newt Gingrich, Dick Armey, and Bill Archer (the people who gave us 1994) haven't run the House since the 90s. They were replaced by a crowd of big spending morons who went along with every hair-brained scheme that Karl Rove could concoct, from Medicare Prescription Drugs to No Child Left Behind.<br /><br />There ARE some good GOP Congressmen and Senators who DO have plans for reform. Unfortunately, they are not in the leadership and the GOP is not a party that likes or tolerates internal revolutions against the seniority of its leaders. In fact, I've always found it to be quite amusing that the GOP's seniority system makes it look at lot like a labor union.<br /><br />Until the GOP can boot the clueless morons from their leadership posts, they aren't going to have a plan. This likely means that they will under-achieve in November. Forget about 41 seats in the House, it's going to be more like 25 to 30, which is a typical gain for the opposition party in an off-year election. They have no hope whatsoever of taking over the Senate.jwpeglerhttp://jwpegler.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
