true...but somehow the Democrats think (even after LOSING!!!), that WE are the ones that have a lot of thinking to do. WE are the ones who now need to reach out. WE are the ones that need to change.
they're never happy, are they?
Yes.
Maybe we could encourage Michael Moore to make a "documentary" critical of Arab culture.
More to the point: will Senate Republicans actually act as if each and every one of 'em actually owns a functioning pair, and bring the hammer down on any attempts to unfairly obstruct W's rightful perogative to select Supreme Court justices in line with his (and his party's) core beliefs, just this once, please, G-d...?
hmmmm....but there's that whole 'pig' thing with the Arabs...so it would be more of an autobiography?
And the former senator from SD can be the example. The other constant obstructionists , especially those from moderate staes, will see how "the people have spoken" in SD and America as a whole.
If the Senate Minority leader, with 18 years in the Senate, and an adult life in Government isn't secure, who is? THE PARTY IN POWER, the party that listens to ALL of the citizens...
later
Hopefully, there will be no need for a "third."
You might be right. We'll have to wait and see. But I will be very surprised if the liberals in Congress agree to any appointments that GWB tries to make. They have continued to veer to the left over the years, despite the fact that the American people have made it quite clear over and over again that we are moderate to conservative. I don't think their arrogance will allow them to learn anything from this election.
I think Kerry may get it now...his concession showed class, and the Senate is 55 to 44 (+1), if the Pubbies and President can get 5 or 6 to step acreoss the aisle, then the logjam will be broken.
Perhaps offering a cabinet job to a Dem Senator in a state with a Republican Governor?
I don't know if that would be a good idea or not at this point. I think that liberals need to learn some hard lessons before we become coniliatory with them. And I have to admit that I'm not a good person to ask because I don't know that liberals can ever be trusted to do the right thing in positions of power.
coniliatory = conciliatory
My advice would be simpler. Cut the socialists and crazies loose. If the Democrats were still the party that Zell Miller waxes nostalgic about, the country would be better off. I'm a firm believer in a two party system, but not a system where one of the parties is controled lunatics.
The purpose is not conciliatory, but to remove a Dem roadblock and have the Republican Governor appoint a Republican replacement. This allows the Dem to avoid having to cross the aisle, and say the purpose of "joining" the administration was to be conciliatory...
First they should admit
that people do not LIKE them!
Already I've heard
'Rats whining they failed
to communicate their views
to America . . .
They never admit
they did communicate well,
and we all DECLINED!
Do you think that a Dem Senator would be willing to give up his Congressional seat for a cabinet position?
They're in shock right now, especially since both their "Big Dogs" went down. If they're smart they'll make Lieberman the Minority Leader, if not, they'll give it to Hillary.
Don't you think that Joe Lieberman has strayed too far from the pack for them to select him as minority leader? It will be interesting to see who they choose because it will show us whether they have learned anything from the election or not.
