I keep waiting for the calvary - the people I image as "old school" Republicans.  The people who stood for fiscal responsibility, some kind of moral standards, and wish for small government.  Where are these people?  Did they ever exist?

Once in Milbank we were lucky enough to have a great lunch at Tim and Jeanie's home, complete with a...
