Karl Rove had some good advice for Republicans in his year-end Wall Street Journal column. "It won't be enough to surf voter dissatisfaction with Mr. Obama and Democrats," he wrote. "Voters will want to know what Republican candidates would do."
It's become clear over the year just past that economic distress has not increased Americans' desire for big government spending programs. Voters are recoiling against the $787 billion stimulus package, the narrowly passed Democratic health care bills and the cap-and-trade bill that's stalled in the Senate. They don't like the smell of crony capitalism, bailout favoritism and earmark corruption.

GOP Should Push Education and Pro-Family Tax Reform
Your analysis is exactly right. Unfortunately, it points out the weakness in all libertarian appeals to the Constitution.
The Constitution CAN mean different things to different people. Always has, always will. That's why arguing over constitutional principles in politics is useless.
I say the Commerce Clause means one thing; someone else says it means the opposite. Both of us are entitled to our opinions.
The key question is WHO RULES. And in this republic that means who wins electoral majorities.
Whio is better at politics, at convincing majorities to support one faction or another.
You may not like it, but that's the way it is. Get used to it.
