    Their actions surely do not meet their words. I am still hopeful.

    didn't even take a whole year did it Feeb?

    The small government thingy is in full swing.

    I would disagree there Ginger. I am a Republican and I have been pushing for small government Republicans in the primaries for nearly a decade now.

    Where I don't do so is in the General elections when the dire consequences of getting a Democrat in overrides everything else.

    Well, maybe that has to change. Voting in a RINO doesn't solve the problem, it just delays the inevitable. ;)

    Stamping your feet and chastising everyone for attempting to stop Obama isn't going to help change anything either.

    As I've told these guys many times already, we all can want the perfect world where we never got to the state we are today, but we have to accept reality and face it. Make the compromises you have to, and work towards that better world in anyway you can.

    Snide little polls like these just make you look childish IMO.
    In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.

    In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.

    Thank you, I needed to smile today. :D
    Nothing helps a bad mood like spreading it around.

    I think the better way is to kick the RINO's out in the Primaries. Come the general election I hold my nose.
