I won't vote for any combo that includes McCain. Period. Don't ask it of me.

Nor will I.

Minnesota was more Republican on Tuesday than, for example, Ohio and Colorado. That does not mean that those three states are now solidly Dem. It was just a really bad election for us.

Hear, hear. I voted Pubbie, but at least we actually had a conservative running, Bill Sali. Our new governor is Butch Otter, who was a true conservative in the House (Sali now has his seat). More than ever, I'm glad I left Florida for Idaho!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Nothing. Your paranoia indicates you simply cannot think at all about the facts. Instead everything viewed as some Holliweird movie style action flick world.

DC doesn't work, has never worked, like your favorite TV dramas tell you. Turn off the TV, get off your butt, get involved, learn how it works.

Rummy is gone cause it was THAT or let him spend the next two years an item one in the Democrat Congressional Show Trials that are about to start. It is far too politically risk to go after Bush. They don't have the votes for it. Instead they simply will tie the admististration in knots with "hearings". Rummy been their LONGER then anyone else in a job that has been target one for the Demo Noise Machine. Letting him go out on his fee removes a target, diverts the Junk Medias attention from the Democrats victory laps and pays the Dems a pound of flesh they were going to get eventually anyway.

He left with his shield rather then on it. And his departure signals to the Junk Media world "Well WE finally made him pay attention to that mess in Iraq."

NOW that Victory in Iraq is just a matter of time, the Administration knows it can make meaningless cosmetic changes and simply let their Iraq plan run to it's planned finish.


We will have to see if the Dems let them worrying Iraq may be too risky an issue for them to take up. 1/3 of their Congress critters voted against their cut and run dogma AND most of the new Democrats are more middle then left. Pretty hard from them to run as Reagan clones back home and more hang with John Kerry in DC then go back in 2008 and run as Reagan clones again.

Rather then screaming Hate Bush noise and paranoia. The Bush Haters should try actually learning the facts about Iraq.

"This is just more noise from the DC Old Boys club that managed to screw up so bad for the last 4 years playing power ego trips that about half the Republican base home Tuesday KNOWING it would turn the Congress over to the rabid Socialist Anti War Leftists."

It's the same group that brought us Bob Dole a few years back. The same crew will push McCain.

One good thing about McCain is you don't have to worry about him betraying his principles. You need some in order to betray them.

Pawlenty will have served six years as Governor by 2008, which makes him as much an "unknown" as George W. Bush was in 2000.


He's not unknown here to Mn. Freepers, let's just say we voted for him and leave it at that.

[Republican Wildcat]

I'd rather it be the other way around.

ROFLOL! I have to remember that statement because it is so true! Way to go!

[Richard Axtell]

I blame McCain as much as Bush for the loss of both houses. Rinos are not going to get Conservative support, and so if McCain thinks he can count on the base regardless of how he sells us out, all he need do is think about this last election. He is over.

Rick Santorum is fine if your main concern are the social issue. He is a big goverment Republican.
