I believe it will come down to Thompson and Gingrich for the Republican nomination. The winner will defeat Mrs. Bill Clinton who already has the Democrat nomination sewed up.

I understand that a lot of registered Republicans have turned. I don't blame them for it. I've been in the city clerk's office a few times with pen in hand and that voter registration form right in front of me. I have a feeling that the next time I do that, I'll actually follow through and change my party affiliation to Indy.
Having said that, I feel the need to keep talking about the values that my party once held near and dear. Those would be small government and fiscal responsibility. I may not get my way, but I am stubborn. I'll keep choosing my words with some care and I'll stay in the fight until somebody decides that they've have enough of me.

I say government is too big. When I was on the payroll, I saw as many as six people doing the job of one. when I say that government is too big, that's what my opniion is based on. The Federal work force should be a small but elite professional group that can do more with less. Even ifwe have to pay them more as individuals to do it, fewer bodies on site would require a higher degree of efficience than we current receive.
Good government is something that all generations should be calling out for. I'm not for soaking the rich, but I am for a proportionately fair tax. I could be alked in to a flat rate tax, assuming there were no deductions. Bill Clinton was quite smart to leave office on a budgetary surplus. Again, its that political skill that I keep talking about. He shopped for his legacy early and it (still) shows.
I was watching John mcCain on the CBS news tonight, and I don't think I've seen him looking quite so forlorne and pathetic...ever. I sympathize with his point of view, but he's trying to hold the ethical high ground while the sands of morality shift from beneath his feet. I'm for the war on many levels, but even I know that it will not end well.

I have no doubt that the folks over in Hillary's camp are scrambling to make use of all the mistakes made by the Bush administration. I can hear them chatting around the water cooler now, "so many options, so little time." Ouch. then again, I'm sure Custer must have thought he could handle it, right up until the very end.

At Goldman Sachs, the largest of the firms, employees donated $542,000 to the top three Democrats and the top three Republicans from Jan. 1 through June 30.
More than 63 percent of those dollars went to Democrats, with Obama getting the bulk of that cash — $184,750, according to the ABC analysis.

I had a chance to watch part of the CNN/Youtube debate yesterday. I thought many of the answers given by the various Dems sounded quite "Republican."
