Good question. I no loinger consider myself a Republican - haven't since Papa Bush because the Republican party is not the party that was around when Reagan left office. I agree that Republicans should revolt, but it seems that in today's world, nobody has the guts to not be partisan. And I'm not just talking politicians. The voters are really no different.

As for tax cuts, I paid less last year than I have for several years, but then, my best friend is a CPA whose job it is to find a way for me to pay less taxes. It also helps that under GW I get $500 per kid. (4 kids are nice to have - great little deductions)

I want accountabllity from all politicians. Unfortunately, we'll never get it. That is how it works today.

Realistically, all we can do is vote our conscience in the upcoming elections. From there, we're at the mercy of the political machine that DC has become.
