Steve Miller once wrote that, "You've got to go through Hell before you get to Heaven." Well, with their super-majority, the Dems can do as they dem-well please. This may turn out to work in our favor, provided our reps can galvanize themselves into a true opposition party and oppose everything the Dems propose to the detriment of our country. I don't like the idea of Democrats with no effective opposition, but their not needing us just might be what we need. Whatever they pass on a single party vote, they own, baby. The crucial thing for our party not to do, is blow it by becoming pro-big-government. That's what went wrong this last time. We must push the FairTax. We also must educate people about basic economics. (Fox News could help by giving Dr. Thomas Sowell or Dr. Walter Williams their own econ educational show.) I stress the need for education because I actually had to explain tort reform to a former COP!!!
