True Hope and Change

I think the most striking thing about the minority party today is that a Republican can’t go home, and it is mostly because of this Tea Party crowd, can not go home and sell a piece a pork that they got from Washington. It is now … when you bring home something, saying “Hey I brought federal dollars home to this,” you are on the defensive.”

Of course this doesn't apply to the left where the State remains the font of all that is good in the world.  It will be interesting (and essential to the survival of the Republic) to see if this attitude towards the Federal monster survives an economic recovery.
