WOW all this talk about Republicans and Democrats. The simple fact is that BOTH over the years have contributed GREATLY to an expansive and powerful central government. Lincoln, FDR, Taft, LBJ, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, and now Obama have all in their own way expanded the Executive branch, Allowed congress to trample on the Constitution and walk all over state and individual rights. The definition of insanity-is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Maybe...just maybe we should elect some other party to office and see what happens. What ever I don't care. Because no matter what happens it can't possibly be worse than right now!
