Some Passing Thoughts

With McCain winning the Florida primary and gaining momentum I can
not understand what has happened to the Republican Party? John McCain
has proven himself to be nothing more than a closet liberal with his
stance on the Illegal Immigration problem, his willingness to
restrict our free speech through campaign finance reform, and his
support for a bad energy plan that would only cost American citizens
more money. His opponent isn't any better. He was a Pro-Choice
candidate when he needed to be one to get elected and was the
Governor of Massachusetts during a large tax increase. What has
happened to the Reagan Republican ideals? As a Republican I believe
we deserve to loose the White House and the Congress if we can not
get back to our conservative roots. We must get back to a small
government and low taxes. These are the things that allowed our
economy to thrive. These are the things that differentiate the
Republicans from the free spending Democrats.

On a less serious note the baseball season is nearly here. The
pitchers and catchers will begin reporting in a couple weeks,
February 15th for the DBacks, and the rest of the players a week
later. I can't wait. The National League West looks to be ripe for
the DBacks to pick again. Their starting rotation looks better that
last year with the addition of Harden and the offense ought to
improve with a year of seasoning for the young players. The rest of
the NL West only improved marginally if at all.
