Probably the more profitable approach is to encourage the Democrats in the Senate and President Obama to show some backbone on this issue. Is there any reason to be optimistic?
Look at Libertarian, Constitution, or Tea Party leaning candidates. Sen. Rand Paul is a prime example of a Republican with major Tea Party, Constitutional and limited spending and government over tones. Right direction.
