The best “answers” available will not matter if we cannot remove from office ALL of those who do not think that (1) enforcing existing laws and (2) treating the Constitution of the United States as a relevant document.

Among the people in Congress now who give lip service to both of those ideas are those who do not think that existing immigrant laws should be enforced and those who did not care to see Congress enforce the regulations relevant in oversight re Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

I really am not interested in the leadership of the Republican party easing back in to the conversation. They haven’t shown themselves willing to do what they said would do prior to this time. Why should we believe that their new promises (even based on principles) should be trusted?

I’m not despairing, but I’m angry. At this point, the leadership of the Republican is just like the old boyfriend who thinks he can get another hug now because he just heard that my mother died.
