Already, the choice is taking shape. The party now in the White House is planning a no-suspense primary, for a no-change election. To hold onto power. To slog on with the same agenda under another name: Thats our opponents call to action this time around. Thats all theyve got left.

They have offered a progressive agenda that includes everything but progress. They are responsible for the slowest economic recovery ever, the biggest debt increases ever, a massive tax increase on the middle class, the relentless buildup of the regulatory state, and the swift, mindless drawdown of a military that was generations in the making.

Leaders have to think big, and weve got a tax code filled with small-time thinking and self-interested politics. What swarms of lobbyists have done, we can undo with a vastly simpler system clearing out special favors for the few reducing rates for all.

We are not going to clean up the mess in Washington by electing the people who either helped create it or have proven incapable of fixing it.
