Neutered

What has happened to the Republican leadership and membership in Washington? It can be summed up in one word, they were neutered. The iCans of the Reagan days became the iCant's of the Bush days. The iCans of the "Contract for America" became the iCant's when one of the main leaders fell from grace. When and why did this happen? Who took the knife to them? When did they lose their "T's"?

These are hard questions to answer. It is hard to pinpoint a specific time or event that caused 500 marbles to roll down the Capital steps. But, looking back on the past 12-14 years, it is very clear that at some point they lost their "T's".

How can we get back to being represented by iCans with a bunch of "T's"? Who will stand up and really fight for the Right, instead of just giving it lip service?

I am looking for those people with the following "T's":

Trustworthiness, Truthfulness, Tenacious, Thoughtful, Tireless, Technical, eTTTTc.

There are a couple "T's" I am not looking for:

Timid, Team player.
