The record of the 105th Congress, Republican controlled in both houses, is an abomination. Spending is up. No major program or agency has been significantly cut, much less eliminated. The tax code is more complex than ever, loaded down with new
conservative social engineering initiatives. The balanced-budget agreement is an excuse not to cut taxes and, with the 'surplus’ an excuse to increase spending. The GOP has seemed intent on federalizing every crime on the books, indifferent to the
Constitution’s clear direction that crime is a state and local responsibility….The federal government is a machine designed to increase its control over the lives of average Americans. It is constantly probing here, pushing there, and generally increasing its control. Without a philosophically sound, constitutionally based political party opposing that process, it is going to continue to do so with impunity. The philosophical leadership vacuum at the top of the GOP should be a source of major concern to all freedom-loving Americans. -- Edward H. Crane

Clinton became a better president because of 1994. Nothing happened--
in 2004. And republicans now own the redistricting map.
2012 has 23 dems and only 10 republican senate seats up for grabs. Be
afraid.
