Winning an election is not the victory.
Shrinking government is the victory.
We don't advance by getting a Republican in office. That can help, but it's a bit like getting soldiers into place on the battlefield. The war hasn't yet started... you're just positioning the troops so that they can fight. Obviously, positioning your troops is not a victory.
But too many act as though just winning an election campaign is the victory.
Keeping more of your money is the victory. Having less bureaucracy to deal with is the victory. Freedom to be entrepreneurial is the victory. Having more confidence about the economy is the victory. Winning an election guarantees none of that. It might suggest those things are possible, but no one knows until legislation is filed and signed into law to accomplish these things.
Celebrating an election victory as though it's everything and all is wonderful is about as worthwhile as a participation trophy. No thanks.
To win, you need your troops on the field. No doubt. Never forget that true victory is winning battles and ultimately winning the war.

Now that's getting to the root.
It's definitely time for those put into office by those who have believed what those rascals have spoken, to put their words into action knowing they are going to be held accountable in their hopes that they don't fall short.
They can be on the winning team, our team.
Our team is right, Carol.
I agree. It's just like my job. I can't take off and relax for very long because if I do we fall behind and could lose again. The work must be consistent...
This is so true!! Thanks for the reminder Brett

Nailed it Brett. The real work begins now. Put me in coach!
You are right again. Winning is just the start. Smaller government is a necessity for our freedom.
