Putting Fiscal Responsibility back in the GOP

Fire of Liberty

I just wish there were more Senators like Tom Coburn fighting in the trenches against the wasteful pork projects that has become the status quo in Washington D.C. I guess when you a lot of those fat cat Senators - who noted at almost all of their countless campaign stops that they were against big government and wasteful spending - seem to be so settled in their comfy offices a have become drank from the cup of power that they forgot their promises to they people who put them there. What we need is a conservative resurgence within the Senate much like the one that occurred in Congress under the lead of Newt Gingrich in 1994. If the Republican party (Especially the Prez and Senate) continues to stray away from is storied past in which giants like Reagan and Goldwater touted being members of the more fiscally responsible party that has been more than willing to take out the hatchet towards such spending, it could quickly find itself lost in the same thicket that the Democrats have been lost for some time now. So let's get back to the basics of the GOP before it's too late. Hopefully Coburn will be the spark to re-ignite this fire.
