Check out the latest Chairman’s Corner piece on RSLC.com:
“When it rains, it pours,” writes the Washington Times. The common adage is often used in the context of things going poorly. In this case, I am hoping for a monsoon. Why? Because, as the article explains, “Democratic leaders already braced for losses in November in congressional and gubernatorial races may be looking at grief on yet another front: A record number of state legislatures could change party control this year, with Democrats at risk of losing their majorities in more than 20 state chambers.”
It is very apparent that Democrats, in their effort to move the country in the most leftward possible direction have caught the proverbial tiger by the tail and are facing an electorate that is outraged by the reckless, out-of-control spending taking place at the hands of Democrat leaders.
In recent focus groups conducted among Independents and Tea Party members by Resurgent Republic, participants view spending as “reckless” and “out-of-control.” In addition, they think it is “unnecessary” and “unhelpful” to the country.
