You want personal freedom? Then take personal responsibility. We're not even allowed, much less encouraged, to take personal responsibility for our actions and decisions under Big Stupid Government promoted by democRats and Republicans. That's my point; they all want control of all our assets and every aspect of our lives and decisions.
Well, screw them. All of them.

You need to remember something: Republicans have a very narrow majority in Congress. The solution is to TERMINATE DEMOCRATS IN THE VOTING BOOTH!
To: TERMINATTOR
I share your frustration and the desire to punish the party for daring to put forward candidates who do not hold a conservative philosophy at all.
People keep voting for change, and it does change, it gets worse, no matter who is in office. We saw what happened with 245i, people getting off their dead ends and threatening their congressmen defeated the measure not once but twice.
So the answer to the problem is us, each individual doing more than talking and typing. The politicians turn off their emails and fax machines, but they dare not fail to answer the phone. So if you want change, drop a half dollar in the slot and raise Cain. If you have an issue, try to lobby support for it here on FR. I lobby for defeat of the FTAA treaty due to be passed in Jan. 2005. Have your material studied, be ready to debate and defend and promote your position.
The reason to keep a Republican congress and senate is because as you said, they compromise any way the wind blows, you can scare em. You can't do that with demonrats in office.

Not if we run Bill Owens in 2008 for Prez. He's more conservative than any of the 2008 contenders (and more so than W) and very popular in his home state of Colorado. Bill Owens is the man.

Yes! On about 11/3, after W is re-elected I plan to start spreading the word so he's the 2008 nominee! I really don't want to have to hold my nose and vote for McCain or Giuliani against Hillary in 4 years.

To: SittinYonder
Look, idiot...liberal states elect liberal Republicans. If you're so upset about RINOs, do something to elect more conservative Republicans and send money to John Thune. The only advantage to having a one seat Senate majority is we control the Senate agenda.
The House Republicans have passed zillions of bills that stagnate in the Senate because Daschle now requires 61 votes on every bill. It has become impossible.
If people listen to jerks like you and the puke who wrote this article and they don't support the Republicans, it will only be worse. Why not attack the real problem...DASCHLE AND THE DEMOCRATS!!!

If I have to pay to take care of traffic accident victims who lack insurance (or money), allow me to try to minimize my costs. The only thing is --- eliminating seat belts and helmets actually helps minimize our costs a little more ---- the cost of a burial is quite a bit less than 4 weeks in a hospital.

So by calling me an idiot and a jerk are you saying that you are satisfied with what the Republican held House, Republican held Senate, Republican White House and majority Republican-appointed Supreme Court have done to shrink the size and scope of the federal government?

I also find it fascinating that you call
me an idiot and a jerk when on September 28 you apparently agreed with me about RINOs. Your post:
I was gonna say Al Franken, because I hate him and because it was his idea to create Air America (a phony, non-radio network that would dissolve after the election), but I decided Chuck Hagel, Bob Lugar and John McCain were the most useless because they're supposed to be on our side.

If only. With our luck, it's 3 years in a coma.
To: robertpaulsen
But you're right --- libertarians seem to only believe the government should stay out of their lives until it's time to pay for their bad decisions --- then they want the government back in. Just like with drugs --- when they become ill or decide they want rehab then they want all the government involvement possible.
