Will never vote for him again. I am sick of whining Republicans who offer no solutions to the real problems facing Americans - jobs, credit, health care, education, etc. I live in McCotter’s district and voted for him once.

The GOP has its standards so solidly set in place that reinventing itself would corrupt its foundation. After all, they aren't "conservatives" for nothing; changing is such a liberal thing. Right now, the GOP would be wise to...well, to not make any huge blunders. It seems that's all it took for the Democrats to regain control--let the opposition dig their own grave.
