Last chance to dance
 By the time most of you read this, Tuesday's election would have happened and the Republicans—most likely—will have once again gained control of the House of Representatives and maybe even the Senate.

The question is whether Republicans will "dance with the ones that brung them," to paraphrase the late Ronald Reagan.
It's no secret who brought Republicans back to power. If they are smart, Republicans will work hard at keeping the tea party's dance card full. Republicans, however, have a history of being dumb once they get in office.
They were dumb before and ended up as wallflowers watching President Obama and his fellow Democrats dance a jig on the Constitution as well as many of their political careers.For the full story, subscribe to the The Franklin Sun's NEW E-Edition! |
