Porked

I'm glad someone finally sees it my way. I can only hope that he's overly pessimistic when he says that because of his views he'd "never get elected in the first place." These are the type of people that we need in government: people who are willing to make short term sacrificies for long term gain.

That's a major source of my frustration with so many in the Republican party. It seems that they agree with these ideas in principle but when it comes to possibly making a short term sacrifice (losing re-election) then they're far too willing to compromise those beliefs. I would how much long term gain we've all missed because of this willingness to compromise.
