I have, as some of you know, posted several comments here and on my Facebook page about the gun laws and the General Assembly this year. It is interesting to me the number of comments that I am seeing to these statements coming from Tea Party members and from other generally conservative interest groups about how disappointed and/or angry they are with the General Assembly this year.

So, what is the problem?

Liberal leadership mixed with a lot of Republicans who got elected saying one thing and meaning another biult on a foundation of standard Republican spinelessness.

I at times wonder if the GOP is a party at all, it seems they tend to win simply when people are mad at Democrats, not because the Republicans actually do much to earn support.

It appears that the Leadership of the Republican Party is concerned that we as Citizens are paying attention. They like it much better when we take the crumbs available as a result of the legislative session without respect to what is actually accomplished. It was espoused that "Jobs" were to be the focus, and yet it seems that the State Government fails to realize that they can not create employment, (jobs) all that they really can do is not destroy them.

I am having a difficult time discerning anything that has been accomplished this session, most initiatives brought forth have been forestalled by a few powerful Democrat ex-leaders, and their Republican apologist and cohorts, especially in the committees. I would think that the Majority needs to take an introspective look at their makeup, which by it's accomplishments, or lack thereof, is leading to the voices from the crowd and possibly be less derogatory of the criticisms offered by the electorate, if there is merit to the conversation. This same discussion WILL be held in 2012.
