If I had been putting my faith in republicans, I would now be throwing up in my mouth. Not a little.

This might not be new, but it’s the first I’ve heard of it.

Making Life Work For More People:
House Republicans are Dedicated to Common Sense Policies to Improve the Lives of You and Your Family.

Over the next two years, the House Majority will pursue an agenda based on a shared vision of creating the conditions for health, happiness and prosperity for more Americans and their families.

Better living through totalitarianism, brought to you by the Smaller Government* party. Can you imagine the bureaucracy it would take to even pretend to make the smallest of these initiatives work?

As far as I can tell – and I don’t really keep track – Eric Cantor is not only a republican, he’s what passes as an establishment conservative. Heaven protect us from the liberal republicans, who presumably demand infant burnt offerings to the god-state.
