Are the wheels beginning to come off of the Republican wagon? It's beginning to look that way.

A growing number of Republican voters are frustrated by congressional spending and scandal, according to GOP leaders from across the country who worry that an "enthusiasm deficit" could cost the party control of Congress in November.

Some rank-and-file Republicans wonder what happened to the party that promised to reform Washington after taking control of Congress in 1994 for the first time in 40 years.

"We've seen the enemy, and he is us," said Tom Rath, a Republican National Committee member from New Hampshire describing the sentiments of some GOP voters. "We have to get back to the basics. Let's talk about small government and reduced spending, and don't let the Democrats take those issues."

"I hear a lot of concern about increased spending and the need to reduce it -- talk about getting back to the basics," said Kate Obenshain Griffin, chairwoman of the Virginia Republican Party.

Five years to the day after this schmuck took office, I, along with about 60,000,000 other people would just like to say "WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO!!!!!"

I don't feel sorry for the Republicans who were boondoggled by this administration and are now feeling the pangs of buyer's remorse. No, I feel sorry for America, because it's going to take years to undo the damage done by these guys. We need to get started as soon as possible. I say, let's start it this November. Anyone want to join me?

Have a good weekend, everybody!
