>>Change you can believe in? The Republicans are out of power for crap like the farm bill - even the one that Dems could not even get in one piece to the floor.<<

Bob -

The farm bill, and its predecessors, don't even register in most voters' minds. That is absolutely not why the Republicans are losing their grip on power. It goes a lot deeper than that.

Even the rampant spending overall isn't the big reason, although it does hurt Republicans by demonstrating that their talk of fiscal responsibility is bullcrap.
