Am I the only one who thinks Bush should invite Vice President Cheney, Senior Frist, Speaker Hastert & Rep. Delay into the Oval Office...pick up the phone and call Senators Chafee, Specter and Snowe and tell them to come to the White House ASAP to join the meeting.
When the show up, I think that they should be given the option to come on board and fall inline or leave the party effective ASAP! We have the seats to spare and we can target Snowe in 2 years!
Right.... "11-04-2004"
Uhhhhhhhh...NO. Look at what the democrats have been able to muck up with a narrow Republican lead; you want to keep us effectively at that same lead? Nuh-uh.
No, we don't want to push any Republicans into Jeffords' party. We want a filibuster proof coaltion of 55 Republicans and at least 5 Democrats, to ram strict and fair judges who interpret the Constitution, but do not legistlate from the Bench, down your liberal throat.
Cheers
Funny how this sounds like more like a Democrat's strategy.
Now that the GOP has won, they begin to eat themselves. They can become a minority before the next election without any help from the Democrats. It's fun to watch.
At least the party will keep its precious bodliy fluids.
We need to get them out of those Committee Chairmanships
You are full of it newbie.
They are as good as DEMS now! Chafee already announced he is considering leaving...I say show him the door and take his power...as for the rest, they will not leave after seeing what happened to "Jumping Jim".
I dunno. I'd prefer targeting vulnerable Democrats.
I mean, Olypia Snowe may suck, but it's Maine. I'd trade Barbara Boxer for Olympia Snowe, so be careful what you wish for.
You guys are shocking me.........we will never get to a superior majority with them...and if we do, they will be the most powerful Senators! Did you learn anything after Jeffords jumpped??? They will be the power brokers....take the top 3 things you would want the true REPS to do with a super majority, and then think if Chafee, Snowe or Specter would go along with it???
Hell, Specter is already telling the President what to do 1 day after Bush tossed him a lifevest and got him re-elected.
Lo
What we should do is go to Zell Miller and offer him some sort of post in Congress if he changes parties. That ought to roust a few Dems. They haven't woken up!
The dims were in power for many years, and acted like obnoxious jerks.
Frist is a class act, and will get far more done by being a gentleman, and do far more good for the reps.
On the other hand I do think we should have dumped Spector in the primary.
Ummm.
Zell Miller is retiring. That's why a Republican weas just elected yesterday to fill his seat.
When, like me, your Senators are Stabenow and Levin, Collins and Snowe sound pretty good.
I swear I saw this same thread about 12 hours ago. Did that get zotted too?
You left out mclame.
