This is not only an election for a new President. We stand the chance to turn the tide in Washington at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.

The undermining of our basic relationships with the federal bureaucracy began before this administration. It was fostered in the House and Senate under Republican control and has in the last eight years festered to the boil that is now our national politic. There must be an end to this. We need to lance the wounds - electorally, civilly - heal and move on.

Washington is crippled. Federal departments are either rife with partisan appointees, leaderless or staffed with inexperienced and inept hangers-on. Republicans, in historic numbers, are leaving the Congress. The exodus from this administration's staff alone ought to be a clear warning that they, and their leadership, are in trouble. Congress' Republican flight underlines the situation.

We stand a great chance to strike back, start forward, and regain this government for its basic principles. Let's not lose sight of that my friends.

Let's take back the Federal government the way they took it away, piece by piece.

Love or adoration of a controllinf government will inevitably lead to the loss of freedoms and civil liberties that they scream every day about.

They seek that which they claim to reject and fear.

Carl, as long as they are the ones taking things away, they don't care.

Exactly. They want to be the ones in charge. They love socialism/communism as long as they're running it.

Umm, the inside-the-Beltway Federal bureaucracy is already heavily Democrat and has been since the 30s, and the Donks control both houses of Congress and have an evenly-split Supreme Court.  If you can't get your program going with that, maybe the program is the problem.

They are only for tyranny if they are in charge. Delusional thinking but the DUmb****s are delusional.
