Silver Lining

Last night and much of this morning I have done a great deal of thinking, I have also abandoned any hope of the GOP retaining either house of Congress, that being said I think I may have found the silver lining in this very dark cloud. That lining is that maybe after a few years of wondering in the wilderness ( aka the congressional minority) we can after thinning the heard a bit of the weaker elements we can realize get back to the basics of what our party is suppose to stand for.

Maybe this lose will wake us up. Perhaps we can now get back to those things that are important like reducing the size and scope of government. Reducing taxes, balancing the budget, getting rid of unnecessary regulation, weening the American people off of the government tit that far too many of them have come to think there entitled to! Perhaps we can get back to being the party that is going to vigorously wage the war on terror, and actually fight that war to win it! Perhaps we can stop waisting our time worrying about whether of not gay people get married and focus on making America great, doing the things government is suppose too. So to my fellow republicans it's gut check time! Now we must be the party in opposition, we must carry the Presidents water when he's a conservative and right, and oppose him when he loses site of those principals. So it may be a long too years, but if we make these internal corrections now it won't take forty years for us to once again control the rudder on the ship of state. So lets get to work my fellow conservatives!
