Elect Shadegg House Majority Leader

I agree with the editors of Townhall.com, elect John Shadegg House Majority Leader:

Three candidates for the position have emerged: Roy Blunt, John Boehner and John Shadegg. Shadegg, an unassuming congressman from Arizona, clearly outshines his rivals. Shadegg is a man driven by ideas and principles; he is also free of potentially disastrous lobbying connections.

With congressional approval ratings at dismal lows and public disillusionment near all time highs, the party in power -- the Republicans -- can and must change course or risk deservedly losing power by the will of the American people. The recent scandals surrounding Jack Abramoff, a growing disgust with the practice of congressional earmarking and exasperation with reckless federal spending have outraged rank and file conservatives within the Republican Party. Meanwhile, the American people wonder if this is why they sent conservatives to Washington in 1994 and defied historical voting patterns by reelecting majorities in the House and Senate in 2004. They are right to wonder. These are symptoms of a party that seems to have lost its way. Fortunately for the Republicans, an opportunity for revival is just around the corner.

My favorite congressman, Mike Pence concurs (OK - I realize that it is I who concur). :-)
