The big problem with the Baby Boom is, it will start to retire by 2011 (1946 + 65), with a peak (if memory serves) in 2016, after which the sheer numbers start to decline some, with a "boomlet" striking again circa 2023 (1968 + 65). If it weren't for the productive immigrant population supporting the Ponzi scheme that is Social Security...

The reason I started this topic was that the poll came out, and I started to watch Saturday Night Defunct, and the reprehensible robot Al Gore gave the opening bit, a parallel universe state of the union.
Work harder to get conservatives elected 77.4% 4,678
Turn it over to the Rats 22.6% 1,367
Those were the results when I responded. Nearly 1400 idiots, eh?

We tell these people to get rid of the rinos in the primaries.

They tell us they are unable to beat the rinos in the primaries.

I say they keep losing in the primaries because their numbers are too small and if they boycott or go 3rd party, it will not matter.

I even think it will be beneficial as a lot of good conservatives are fed up with their single issue, cry baby mentality.

I think if the single issue whinners quit, the adults will be more energized and we actually gain.

It's not just the failure of Bush and Congress to protect the borders. I refer you to the current issue of National Review magazine and a feature article by Kate O'Beirne and Rich Lowry.

It's a lengthy article describing the UTTER failure of the GOP majority not only to assert conservative principles and legislation but to actually promote part of the liberal agenda.

The old line that the other party is "worse" is neither inspiring nor motivating the base. All polls also confirm that.

Here's the last sentence of the article: "...nervous Republicans will ask themselves, Can this Congress be saved? But the question frustrated Republican VOTERS are increasingly asking is, Is it WORTH saving?"

I think not securing the borders will destroy the party by frustrating the voters from coming out.

Do I think that is good? No.

Do I think the Republican party causes their own problems?
Heck yeah! The don't listen to a vast majority of the people and the act when in power like they are a weak minority.
