Another late post.
Well it's timed for me to give my two cents. Here's my problem. The GOP may have taken over the senate and increased control in the house but will it bring change to America? No!
Here is why I say no. The gop in Washington is run by establishment big government moderates who talk a big game but when push comes to shove will tend to buckle and cave in for the sake of "working together". Where is the leadership in truly standing up to Obama and him trampling of the Constitution, where is real challenging and taking to issues like tax reform, entitlement spending reform, auditing the entire federal government to truly be able to slash the budget, why are we not looking at closing bases around the world that is not needed, why are republicans not looking to reign in the irs or the federal reserve, returning us to a tight money and gold standard policy?
I could go on if I so pleased. You may here and there about the Fed or the NSA or maybe something about taxes and spending but where has any real action been?
But you people really expect republicans to take charge? Where were they before? I do not see the republicans taking any real actions to put bills in he presidents desk that he won't like and really challenging him. They've not really challenged him up till now as a whole.
To my republican friends we will not see true conservatism until we out more people like Trey Gowdy, Mike Lee, Mia Love, Tim Scott or Ted Cruz or Rand Paul into power. To my fellow North Carolinians we had a chance to not put another big government type like Thom Tillis in power but you people followed the money trail and not the principal trail. If you had followed the issues and looked at the one candidate who ran on a pro liberty, anti government, anti big government agenda and that was a man of character you people would have flocked to Greg Brannon. If we would have nominated him he would have won hands down blowing Hagan even more out of the water.
If we are wanting to truly turn America around after the elections we have to buck up to the establishment and get rid of their candidates and get the Brannon's in.
With the reelection of types like Thad Cochran and Lindsey Graham and the fact that big government types are running the committees for the most part it will be business as usual. And you ask, "what is business as usual?" It is more foreign aid, more crony capitalism, more federal reserve, NSA spying, more police militarization, more big government at home while even bigger government at home.
At this rate we will never see the EPA, Irs, federal reserve gone. We will not see the fair tax enacted nor will we see a audited and reformed government. True free market capitalism will not be restored here.
