I think instead of a Tea Party, we need a We Party. All of us who somewhere nearer the middle on a variety of issues but who also believe the first principles are important to guide public policy.

Wishing to live longer, I am not holding my breath.

As I watch some of the GOP potentials, I get a little hopeful with a guy like Mitch Daniels, but time will tell.

Warren…. David – Welcome to my world.

What the….? At least one more step to the dark side!

I wish I could be with you on Mitch Daniels but his idea of lowering taxes is to allow them to skyrocket to levels better than double that of his democratic predecessors (speaking of property taxes here) and then call his legislation that freezes taxes at that higher level a tax cut. It may have been for some – mostly for homeowners in some respects – but not for those who who primarily own farmlands. What I now pay a year in property taxes in some years I’m not lucky enough to net that amount in crops. And then comes the income taxes, not just federal and state but the county takes a percentage. At least I get to take my state property tax off my income for the state and counyt income taxes.

BTW…. that was me not dignifying Fischer’s article with a direct comment.
