"The Senate is darn near impossible at this stage. Maybe after Nov?"

Perhaps. The real problem is that griping in an election year and dissenting etc. may have the effect of simply helping the Democrats win. That would be a disaster.

We have the opportunity to do several things by Nov:
1. Replace RINO Specter with Conservative Pat Toomey.
2. Gain 5 Republican seats in the Senate, making Democrat judicial filibusters more difficult to practically impossible.
3. Increase conservatives in the House, tipping the balance in favor of conservative policies.
This will be enough IMHO to make the Congress a measurably improved institution in 2005.

At the same time, the rabid Liberal Democrats are painting Bush as an AWOL Liar who's destroying America. I kid you not how awful they paint the picture: Krugman rants in our local paper this morning.

Frankly, if conservatives just snipe this year WE WILL LOSE.

We have to stand on our principles AND HELP THE REPUBLICAN TEAM WIN. If we dont do that, our "principles" will lose. Socialism will win.

Which socialism would that be exactly?

I must be going color-blind. I can't seem to tell Red from Blue these days.
