Wow, I did not see this coming. I was pretty much speechless last night other than voicing my concern over this country. When a man with hair as Presidential as mine can’t be President, this country is heading in the wrong direction.I suppose I could have exhorted my fellow Republicans to concentrate on what used to be good about us:Real fiscal discipline, that doesn’t think you can cut the deficit, while cutting taxes and increasing military spending.The belief that a competent and efficient government is the best government. Even liberals like a government that does more with our tax dollars. The notion that government is useless at best, has led my party to appoint cronies and hacks, while turning over authority given to us by the People, to corporations and lobbyists.Giving up the assumption that all taxes are bad. The first sign of a great nation in decline is when it’s wealthiest citizens refuse to pay taxes. Taxes must come from those able to pay them. This is simple logic that is beyond the grasp of many of my fellow Republicans.Backing rights for all citizens. The nonsense about our “Judeo-Christian” values being under attack, just divides and causes hate. We’lll attract a lot more voters if we embrace tolerance and grant the same rights to people who live a little differently than we do. The party of Lincoln was built around this idea.
