I legitimately ask the question: Cheney, Rush, Newt...is Steele nationally the only non-20th century retread? Is this best the GOP can do?

I think he is. The GOP is desperate for leadership right now. I believe Obama's popularity will continue its decline but he'll win again because the Republicans have nobody to run against him.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
