I have been so busy lately that I haven't had time to keep up with the news or blogs. Something occurred to me today. The republicans, with the help of a few Dems, could manage to elect someone OTHER than Pelosi as Speaker.
The right needs to make a concerted effort to support a more moderate Dem as Speaker. There are enough centrist Dems out there to deny her the chance to be speaker. I calculate that the right only needs about 15 Dems to side with a second candidate. How about Speaker Hoyer?
While it sickens me to support any lefist, this very same plan worked with Lieberman. I disagree with most of Joe's policies, but he is much better than the alternative.
While we may have been defeated at the polls, the election was far from the mandate that the liberals claim it to be. The right needs to take advantage of this vote, and deny the liberals what they want.
On a second note, I think we failed to win the election because we continue to call our mission, "The War in Iraq". The war is over guys. We won the war. We win every engagement against hostile forces. But calling it a War continues to allow the other side to vilify the effort. The administration and the right would be better served to drop the word war, and denote the mission as Peace-Keeping Effort for the Sovereign Government of Iraq. The public believes what they hear, regardless of whether or not it is the truth.
I vote for Ann Coulter.....oh....I forgot....I didn't get elected.....darn....:(
