We can say for certain that VK's "never vote for an incumbent" has great merit. why? Because 545 people voted in by a majority have the ability to formulate any such program necessary to set this economy straight and institute any such policy that protects this country from its enemies. However what far too many of these 545 lack is a moral imperative. Someting I have been talking about for over 15 years. Intelligent people with moral courage do good deeds. That is how we can avoid the Enron's of the world

Arthur Brooks wrote in the WSJ today regarding the Debt Ceiling debate. "Before they succumb to too much caution budget reformers need to remember three things. (1) This is not a fight between Republicans and Democrats; its a fight against a 50 year trend toward statism. (2) it is a moral fight and not an economic one (3) This is not a fight one can win in the 15 months from now to the presidential election. It will take hard work for at least a decade."

He goes on to say that "Americ'a Founders knew the importance of moral language, which is why they asserted our inalieanable right to the pursuit of happiness and not the possession of property rights." His underlining theme is explaining the difference between statist (welfare state advocates) vis a vis free enterprise advocates.

We need to draw from a pool of people who have shown that morality, ethics and honesty matter because if we don't then the Washington corrupt will continue to win and 545 people will trump 350,000,000
