"HEY HO!"


"Let's go?"

"The Republican Party says it stands for individual rights, limited government, free enterprise, fiscal restraint, a strong defense -- and it's hard to argue with any of those broad principles. But they have to be interpreted in the context of today's America, which is different from the America of 1989, or the America of 1889.

A modern Republican Party would have argued for a modified stimulus package, not a bunch of tax cuts that most economists agree couldn't possibly do what a stimulus is supposed to do. A modern Republican Party would share in the Democrats' outrage at the inefficiency and unfairness of our health insurance system and would work to shape true reform rather than prevent it. A modern Republican Party would recognize that "no" is not the answer that Americans want to hear.

Come on, folks. Aren't you supposed to believe that competition is good? Then why have you decided not to compete?"
