You know what? He just might be on to something.
The Republicans have put their greedy hands into everything, and everything they have "reformed" has made a turn for the worst. Some great example are Medicare, the Dubai ports deal, No Child Left Behind, NASA, the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA -- or more properly now called FUBAR...the list could just go on and on for ages.
A change is needed, and when hardcore GOP members are echoing the same sentiment, it kind of nails the final nail in the "landslide change" coffin.
THE NEED FOR A DEMOCRAT MAJORITY IN THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN 2007
I have found it difficult in the past several weeks to reach a conclusion as to what a citizen should do with respect to this falls forthcoming congressional elections. I am a Republican, intend to remain a Republican, and am descended from three generations of California Republicans, active in Merced and San Bernardino Counties as well as in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have just engaged in an unsuccessful effort to defeat the Republican Chairman of the House Resources Committee, Richard Pombo, in the 11th Congressional District Republican primary, obtaining just over 32% of the Republican vote against Pombo's 62%.
The observation of Mr. Pombo's political consultant, Wayne Johnson, that I have been mired in the obsolete values of the 1970s, honesty, good ethics and balanced budgets, all rejected by today's modern Republicans, is only too accurate.
It has been difficult, nevertheless, to conclude as I have, that the Republican House leadership has been so unalterably corrupted by power and money that reasonable Republicans should support Democrats against DeLay-type Republican incumbents in 2006. Let me try to explain why.
The rest is behind the above link. It is a long read, but definitely a good read; go check it out.
The seeds for change are being planted even as I write this, and I just can't resist the fact that this country may be on the heels of a fringe shift of power that could right all the wrongs of the Bush doctrine.
