| #7 stop hemorrhaging manufacturing jobs That's the key. Though I would expand that to say stop exporting 5% of the US GDP each and every year. It's far too much to be sustainable and results in the national pot of wealth to become smaller each year. |

| #6 2 Billion for 5000 jobs (for how long?) to foreign based (EU) companies. And in an industry that costs jobs 3 for 1. That's smart spending.... /s |

| #5 "We need government spending to break out of this vicious cycle, so long as it's INTELLIGENT government spending" There's your problem right there, lex. Have you seen anybody in the gummint spend intelligently? Or do anything else intelligently, for that matter? >:-( |

| #4 fiscally conservative, strictly Constitutionalist, free-market candidates Government's broken, but the market's also failing. The banks aren't lending. Consumers aren't spending. We need government spending to break out of this vicious cycle, so long as it's INTELLIGENT government spending. And we need to have an intelligent industrial policy that will stop hemorrhaging manufacturing jobs to China. Just slashing government budgets will not bring down unemployment down; neither will dotcoms and mom-and-pop startups put tens of millions of unemployed and underemployed Americans back to work. Time for a new political class that's not wedded to failed orthodoxies from the last century. |

| #3 Shush... as long as we're in the closet, working quietly away at recruiting and supporting fiscally conservative, strictly Constitutionalist, free-market candidates, and turning out the voters for them ... the MSM will ignore us. All the more delicious, when they get their November surprise at the polls. They won't be able to explain to their owners and to their diminishing audience, how they managed to completely miss noticing the Tea Party effect. |

| #2 No, we still have to stay in there, "clinging to our guns and religion", at least according to president Beezlebub. |

| #1 Does this mean we can come out of the closet now? |
