There are no merits to a Kerry win and any Republican who thinks there are is either foolish or too smart by half.

Briefly after WWII the Republicans held 85 seats in the house. The Democrats controlled congress for the better part of forty years.

The Republicans can't deal with success.
This is the Golden Age of the Republican party.
Republicans need to extend the run of victories not look to already broken down historical incidents.

Once the Republicans loose or give up momentum, it will be decades or longer before they have a pro-life, pro gun, tax cutting, voucher favoring, straight talking, American loving president and control both houses of congress.

Fight the culture war now if that's what's necessary. Take on Hillary now if that's what's necessary. There is no better time than now.

I agree. We need Republicans who celebrate the fact that they are conservative, are proud to be conservative and recognize that the conservative movement has been winning the culture war for almost 4 years now.

Your absolutely right. Its like they feel like they should apologize for being conservative and in the majority.

The Republicans' low point was in the 75th Congress (1937-1938) in FDR's second term, when they had only 89 members in the House of Representatives (and only 16 Senators out of 96). That was the only time since 1900 that one of the two major parties had less than 100 seats in the House of Representatives.

Right after WWII, the Republicans controlled both houses during the 80th Congress (1947-1948), with a 245-188-1 margin in the House and a 51-45 margin in the Senate.
