November Preview

Yesterday's Wall Street Journal hit the nail on the head:

The biggest Republican problem now is the demoralization of their own voters. Their lack of meaningful achievements this Congress (beyond the two Supreme Court Justices), all of their spending, and troubles in Iraq have left conservative voters wondering what the point is to voting for the GOP. If Republicans want their supporters to show up on election day, they'll need more of a message than wearing a "Speaker Nancy Pelosi" fright mask.

May we suggest a Plan B? How about at least fighting for the agenda that elected them the last time? It's obvious at this stage of the 109th Congress that little will actually become law, especially with Democrats able to filibuster in the Senate.

I've been saying it for months now. If Republicans don't get their act together and start acting like the reformed-minded conservatives they were elected to be, they will lose Congress in November. USA Today also has a good article on this. The past 6 years or so has been a prime example of absolute power gradually corrupting absolutely. I'm not saying the Democrats deserve to win, as their solution to every problem is even more government. I'm simply saying the Republicans deserve to lose, because they have become the very thing they ran against back in 1994.
