I fully concur, and consider those who failed to pass a bill in the House avoiding the shutdown as treasonous enemy combatants, who should be treated as such.

Ronald Reagan is no doubt turning over in his grave at the Palins and Ted Cruzs' of 2013. As he should be.

I doubt it. And really folks, who cares about a Taft descendent?

Yeah, who cares about what someone thinks who comes from a legendary family tied to the Republican Party for generations.

Oh boy! Why don't we track down a descendent of Ulysses S. Grant's and see what they have to say as well.

Amen, but Taft was missing illegitimate grandchildren. Based on a certain VP, that's a prereq for being a good conservative.

So you won't even address the points Taft was making in his op-ed?

I didn't even read it. I'm simply stating the opinion of a relative of a POTUS from 1909 essentially means as much as my neighbors.

History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme.
