The Republican Revolution:

Hold on to your hats! This just in from the Pennsylvania House Republican Caucus. Here are their "main components of the Playbook for Progress":

—Lower taxes and reform the property tax system.
—Reduce state government waste, abuse and reach.
—Create family sustaining jobs.
—Strengthen health care.
—Protect our families and neighborhoods.
—Preserve family farming.
—Improve our families' quality of life by providing dynamic opportunities … not a burgeoning government.

In other words, the Pennsylvania Republicans have publically announced that they are divorcing themselves permanently from the national party and wish it herewith to be known that they are from this point forward full fledged members of the Democratic Party.

NOTE: As you are no doubt aware, the Republican national party has brought the country higher debts, larger and less effective government since January of 1981 than any Democrat ever imagined possible.

Post Script: A family sustaining job is a part time job at Wally World, where you earn minimum wage and have no health insurance. At least that's what these good folks mean by "family sustaining." In other words, the job sustains the family who owns the place of employment.
