Well the GOP surely will not get any sympathy from me, but this swoon that this country is in had better be the right way. We have dropped any debate and are turning over everything to our federal government.....and it will continue as our swoon goes on.

Here is hoping that the media and those true followers are right because we are setting ourselves up for a big big hole.

We have always had periods where the debate of issues became lessened but never anything like this were there are those who are waiting and WANTING to swoop in and take over everything so we will be beholden to the federal government.

And one final note on Specter.....the only way he can get reelected is as a Democratic and he knows it. And one more thing on Specter...as of March 17 he said....

"[Democrats] are trying very hard for the 60th vote. Got to give them credit for trying. But the answer is no.

I'm not going to discuss private talks I had with other people who may or may not be considered influential. But since those three people are in the public domain, I think it is appropriative to respond to those questions.

I am staying a Republican because I think I have an important role, a more important role, to play there. The United States very desperately needs a two-party system. That's the basis of politics in America. I'm afraid we are becoming a one-party system, with Republicans becoming just a regional party with so little representation of the northeast or in the middle atlantic. I think as a governmental matter, it is very important to have a check and balance. That's a very important principle in the operation of our government. In the constitution on Separation of powers."

I just hope our direction is accurate because we are stuck with it.....I dont agree, but with the controls being put into place it will not be able to change them in my lifetime or many to come !!! Our debt could not be paid off...our security cannot be beefed up in just a short time thus will pray that this is the right direction !!!
