Many people are talking about how they are dis-satisfied with the Republicans and the way they are running the government. The Democrats are relying on this for the upcoming elections. They believe that if people are unhappy with Republicans, they must be happy with Democrats. I ask people to just think about a couple of things: do you even know what the Democrats would do different, and are you mad at Republicans because you don't like what they stand for, or because you don't think they are following what they say they stand for. I am as mad at the Republican Congress and the Republican Administration as anybody, but I am mad at them because they have become too much like the Democrats, the last thing I want to do is put actual Democrats in charge. The answer is not to kick the Republicans out and give control to the Democrats, the answer is to make the Republicans accountable. We stand a chance of moving the Republican Party back to the party of fiscal responsibility, low taxes, family values and strong national defense. Do you really think you can accomplish that with the Democrats. There are any number of ways that people can show their dis-satisfaction with the Republicans currently in power, but I believe the worst among them is to cast a protest vote in November. If you really want to change things, vote in the primary for the candidate that holds your beliefs, write your representatives in Congress to voice your opinion, start a blog on Townhall to voice your opinion to everybody, but please, please do not think that the answer to your problems is to put the Democrats in control of Congress.
