With all due respect... The republican party has had the opportunity to do just that several times since Reagan, and they failed to use their power to do the right thing. They have proven that they are not interested in a small constitutional central government, with the power given back to the states where it belongs. They have also proven that they are bought and paid for by their lobbyists just like the democrats, and as long as we have government for the lobbyists and not for "We the people" we will not be free. I accept the fact that 95% of the people vote for the lesser of two evils every 2 years. Please accept the fact that that doesn't make it right, or what is best for this country.
