The Republicans are seeing an opportunity to cash-in on the very distraught electorate. The passing of the Health Care Bill in March has caused quite a stir among the so-called benefactors. The overwhelming costs and the uncertain administrative aspects have the home folks more than a bit troubled. In 1994, the Grand Old Party brainstormed and came up with the inspired concept that they labeled, a "Contract with America". The seats in the House of Representaives were reminiscent of our youthful musical chairs with the Republicans taking over the house for the first time in forty years. But, the glory was soon over as the Democrats reversed this action in a decade or so. It's all because the Republicans shifted to the left a bit more than the voters wanted. Get the message? If the GOP really wants control of the house this upcoming election, then formulate a conservative platform based on lowering taxes, lessening government influence in our lives, cutting the budget; by utilizing the suggestions of the Little Hoover Commission, as Gov. Rampton of Utah did in the 1960's and setting a standard of honesty and good fiscal management. If they will adhere to these basic ideals, we as a Nation will prosper and our valued cultural ethics will flourish. It will take some time for the affect of these tried and true principles to be realized by the hard core socialists, but the victory will benefit us all.
