I would add two things --

-- Adopt a foreign policy of non-intervention. No more invading countries that never attacked us, overthrowing governments that we don't like, propping up and arming dictators we do like, etc., etc.

-- Admit that the federal government has no business dictating who can and cannot get married. Leave that and all other social issues (abortion, drug policies) to the states.

It's been a two years since I called. I don't remember exactly how much it was. It's more money than I have or I'd have it done already. Tomorrow I'll call again.

dmek and saden, I wouldn't take the Tea Party movement as something that's solely Republican-driven. Yes, the Democrats are probably going to get it broken off in their ass this November, but that's only because they have complete power. If the Pubbies were in control, the same thing would happen to them. In fact it already did happen to them in '06 and '08. The issue then was outrage over the wars. Now it's health care and fiscal insanity.

I really believe that this is a backlash against both parties, against government in general. The system we have now, which has been in control by only two select groups for over a century, may be starting to crack. I'd like to see a break up of the two-party system into a mish-mash of many different ideaologies, all angling for something different than the same ol' business as usual, corrupt, back-room dealings with cronies who have had the ear -- and the pockets -- of both parties for far too long.

I know you two are democrats, but trust me -- the republicans are going to be a short leash this time around. If we see them going back to the ways of big spending, expanding government, and marching all over the face of the earth with a 'tough foreign policy' stance that they've always been so proud of, but does nothing but get young Americans killed, they'll be thrown right out just as fast as they got back there.

Nobody's going to get a long running free pass anymore, with the voters as apt as they've been for massive upheavals of power shifting in both directions. Only this time, I think there are some new players in the game, and that's a good thing.

Yeah kind of wierd that neither of those things are on there. It scares me that Sarah Palin is being courted by Tea Party activist too. I hope they dont start leaning towards a conservative social agenda, then the Tea Partiers are pretty much back to where everything started going wrong for the Republicans.

Exactly mlmpetert, that's why I'm still very cautious.

-Add Have a govermnet that stays out of health care.
- have a federal goverment that does not steal my money and allows me
to save for my own retirement
- have a fed goverment that does not take my money and forces me to pay for their social issues.

I could go on and on but you get my point.

Things started going wrong for the republicans when they got away from being conservative.

Every dept of the government should find ways and submit reports on how they can help the overall budget reduce

Everything from less expensive furniture, travel and entertainment expenses, etc

If we expect it from the banks that we bail out, we should expect it from the fed that we're bailing out as well.. states shouldn't be exempt either

Exactly, we hear about dems "wasting money" but it really is no different than the repubs doing the same.

I hear too much about guns, god, abortion, etc.. I guess that it's just easier to sweep the economy issue under the rug because most people can't even explain the issues when I talk to them.. too boring for the average mind it seems
