Now that I've looked at your profile, I understand you have a conflict of interest here.

From your profile.

Just another civil serpent out here. Take heart, most Feds outside California and the Northeast are NOT Liberals.

Hard to believe anyone would admit that, let alone wear it on their sleeve. Enough said.

Good luck with your tax payer paid career.

As well it should because if the party ceases to represent them, then they should part. More and more, Republican, does not mean conservative but moderate liberal. Down with the two party system!

More power to you. You may now go sit in the corner and watch the world go by. You have effectively chosen not to be a participant in the decision making process.

"There are none so blind as those who will not see. These CINOS need to find someplace else to post. They don't understand politics at all, they don't know what RINO, or CONSERVATIVE, or most of the terms the employ mean, and they do NOT give a damn about this nation. They live in a mentally disordered word of hallucinatory daydreams, where reality NEVER intrudes."

Enough already! Must you continue running from thread to thread playing the condescending hall-monitor and kicking sand? Are you Mojo redux?

There are some very concerned good Americans on these threads that see the bigger picture of our Constitutional decline (now with GOP assistance) and are just trying to sound the alarm, many of whom are working behind the scenes to steer the GOP back to its conservative principles.

As for Bush's 2000 campaign promises, many of us clenched our teeth and pull the lever for him in the hopes he was campaining as a centrist and would govern more from the right. Such has not been the case. But it's interesting to note that he is now talking deficit reduction since witnessing the numerous reports of dessention within his base. Consequently, there is good to come of stating our dissatisfaction with President Bush's domestic policies.

BTW, you don't have a lock on political acumen as you tend to infer in every 3rd post. How about a little civility in the debate?

Democrats will not get the fire-breathing liberals you fear past a Republican-dominated Senate Judiciary committee. It won't happen.

Kev, you're presupposing that the Dems won't take control of the Senate as well. The margin there is razor thin now.Imagine if the voters decide the top of the ticket is vulnerable and decide, as is human nature, to back what they perceive is the winning side? Your theory is nice, but too many variables, Think about this one, if you will,the Republicans have rightly pointed out the Democrats' obstruction and flat out unconstitutional behavior.Seen any thing about it in the Main Stream media? Now , reverse that scenario, and tell me the result, which I think you already know.

Your theory, which may have merit in a perfect world, falls apart in the not so perfect real world. All tha tsaid, your frustration is shared by many.The solution is not handing it to the enemy.

You know I'm not a DU troll, Jim. I've been here over 2 years. I've never even gotten a warning here for my behavior. I do understand the Judicial Appointments argument.

Jim, do you not see how some of the people here are using the word "conservative" as if it were a curse word? They are talking about conservatives as if they are the lowest of the low. The moderates and left leaning Republicans are hijacking your forum. Conservatives can't even get their frustrations off their chest before November gets here without them looking for you to make us stop or trying scare tactics to get their way. When that doesn't work, they use personal attacks. Look through this thread and see who's been doing the personal attacks. Of course, I would never think of telling you how to run your forum. I know that's not my place. I just want to make sure you see what I see. One person even wrote a whole diatribe (it's on this thread) saying that conservatives are like liberals with a list to go with it of what she thinks conservatives are like. They are also using you to get their way. Every thread they point out your opinion as if that should reflect the opinion of everyone here.

You know very well that atleast half of us who are frustrated and feel the need to complain to each other will end up voting for Bush in November. I can't imagine anyone here is going to actually vote democrat, and very few will vote Constitution Party. I myself am on the fence between viting and not voting for any Presidential candidates if my only choice is Bush, which it is. Bush needs to move back over to the right a little if I'm going to be motivated to vote for him.

Yeah, right. And what makes you so sure that the Democrat media won't turn public opinion against the Republican Senate? And what makes you so sure that the Republicans will even be able to hold on to the majority once the media trashes and slimes them to hell?

Forget about foolish gambles and game playing. We have the Presidency in hand and the majority in congress for one of the few times in history. Hang on to it. Build on it. It's an unprecedented historic opportunity to really kick some donkey ass and get rid of not only some of their liberal excesses, but also to replace the liberal activist controlled courts.

And that's beside the point that it would be utter insanity to trust a Democrat with the job of commander-in-chief at this time. To a man, the likely candidates would surrender the war on terror immediately.

The last thing you would have are facts and common sense.

What I've learned hasn't come from the DNC and that you well know.

You have such a keen knowledge and understanding of politics, do you? Well, goody for you. Who cares? I'm interested in saving what's left of my country from scavengers and "politicos" like you.

To be consistant, I'm not so sure about that with the week-kneed Repubs.

Oh not just Arlen Specter JW.

Do you remember an exchange that accidently got picked up on mic between Orin Hatch and P. Lahey where Orin was overheard chastising Lahey and reminding him that Orin had agreed with him not ask certain questions for some other concession?
