Ramblings
Last Friday I mentioned that I was invited to a Republican Conference on March 4th. I decided not to go. Right now I am fed up with the current bunch of elected Republican representatives. They really do not represent me and my values. They seem to be preoccupied with saving their own job, compromising Republican conservative ideals and not working for the people who elected them. They seem to think that Obama received a mandate to run this country with an extreme liberal agenda. He didn't.....it was a mandate against President Bush. The Democrats were brilliant in demonizing and running against Bush and not against their individual opponents. They did this in 2006 and it worked. In Iowa, not one Republican incumbent won. It worked again in 2008. Now that everyone knows what Obama is really about, it's too late. He has taken the label "Far Left Extreme Liberal" to a new level! We'll now have to wait 4 years to replace him and 2 years to take back the U.S. Senate and House. Before I jump back into supporting and working for a candidate, I'm waiting for someone to prove to me they have the guts it takes to stand up against the Democrats.

For a good perspective on this, read David Brook's March 3rd Column entitled: A moderate's call to arms

David Brooks has been infatuated with Obama but he is finally seeing the light - with regard to both the run-away Liberalism of the Dems & Obama and the gut-less response of the Republicans.
