Jim Demint has an excellent question at The Federalist entitled The GOP Establishment Wants To Take Congress Without Telling Voters Why They Should. Yes, why indeed? This is one of the reasons why I have become disgusted with the Republicans. Not that I am ready to switch to the Democrats, who I veiw as the spawn of the Devil. I can not help but thinking that both parties are really just different wings of the same party. "A pox on both their houses," I say.
So, it was good to see that at least one Republican Senator had the courage to put forth his agenda.
His name is Rick Scott, the junior U.S. senator from Florida, and the former governor of that free state. He released an 11-point, 60-page agenda explaining what he thinks are the biggest problems America faces today. Not only that, he offered common-sense policy fixes. This was particularly notable because Scott is chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which is responsible for electing more Republicans to the Senate.
Scott is a principled conservative, so it came as no surprise that Democrats attacked. But what Scott might not have anticipated was how many in his own party would pile on. First behind closed doors, and then in public, senior Senate Republicans not only disavowed Scott’s policy agenda, but criticized him for even offering it. It is the second part that’s the real problem.
Maybe more will decide that they need to make changes, or we will all go down. Because believe me, the Democrats are nobody's friend.
