I completely agree with the author --- Republicans are either out of ideas our out of effective advocates. As a fiscal conservative, I'm sick of hearing the whining about Obama's deficits. They are bad, they are terrible and this year's will be the largest on record. Care to guess when the 2nd, 3rd and 4th largest deficits occurred? 2003-2005, when Republicans held the White House, House and Senate. So, when Senators and MCs lament these deficits, why not ask them how they voted on budgets that were the most irresponsible ever (at the time)?

Just started a new site focused identifying and espousing conservative ideas, would love any feedback: http://www.gopideas.com

The Obama administration is now going to give away free housing to people that don't pay their mortgage. By taking the caps off of Fannie and Freddie, this will allow those companies to pay full price to buy the delinquent loans from banks --- for face value. In turn, Fannie and Freddie will write the loans down, allowing the borrowe who is refuing to pay the bill in the home, pay less for the mortgage and suffer no consequences. So, the bank is made whole, the delinquent borrower gets the house at a discount and Fannie and Freddie eat the loss. And by Fannie and Freddie, I mean the taxpayer.
