Some Republicans "Get It"-- And Some Still Don't
Summary: Austin Hill writes about Washington's current handling of the financial crisis and the backlash from Americans that it has created. He points to Scott Brown's surprise victory in the Massachusetts Senatorial election as evidence that Americans are unhappy with the Obama administration and Congress' handling of the economy (namely their introduction of more big government "solutions"). As the GOP scrambles to capitalize on this public discontent, Hill writes that some Republicans still don't seem to "get it" and that they are still on board with the Obama big spending, big government policies.Opinion: I agree with Hill. It seems to me that the Republican party is a bit of a mess right now, with the conservative wing of the party working to get the moderate, almost progressive part of the party on board with a unified agenda. While many Americans are upset with Democratic policies and the expansion of government into the private sector, voting Republican may not be the answer, for many Republicans are just as guilty of big spending as are Democrats.

Also even though Scott Brown is a republican he was on board with almost 98% of the health care plan before he got into office. Also I don't think we have given the democrats nearly enough time to fix our economy. We let the republicans have 8 years to screw it up so you should give the democrats at least that to clean up the Republicans' mess.
