I think you are correct Bucco. This isn't a slam-dunk election for Republicans. The November elections will be a critical test for Obama and he is doing everything in his power to make sure he passes. The current administration and Congress, on both sides of the aisle, absolutely need to be sent a message by the voters. No more business as usual.

Like you, I connect with many of the things that people who associate themselves with "The Tea Party" say; smaller government, less spending, more local control, liberty and freedom given by the rule of law established by the people and the US Constitution.

I am growing worried that the voters will once again be apathetic. We need to wake up, study and educate ourselves and not see what is happening to this country.
