Re: America in decline?
I'm surprised by your selection of the question mark in the name of this topic GS78. If you have to ask whether or not America is in decline you aint been payin attention... 
No more catchy slogans for me...I am simply fed up...4...four...4...2+2...

The ? represents HOPE in this post...... 
I am really wondering what exactly is behind resurrecting this conversation by Pence. I mean it has been going on in political circles since at least the earlt 70's, behind the scenes. I am leaning towards believing its just a ploy to fire up the base, and to help implement the co-opting of the tea party "movement".

Re: America in decline?
Was just jerking your chain on the ?
My hope is if the right regains control - and they will eventually - hopefully this fall to some degree - is they deliver on promises ---
- smaller government
- lower taxes
- jobs
- increased national security posture
- decreased spending
- lower deficit
They were pretty disappointing with some of their promises last time...
