Losing: It's like groundhog day for Al Gore

Show me where we are winning.
We have had no conservative judges confirmed.
We have the ambassador to the u.n. being villified and no Republicans come to his defense. Instead, he is stabbed in the back by a "Republican".
Tom Delay is being lynched. Again, instead of defending him, the "Republicans" pile on with the Democrats.
The judiciary has run amok. Instead of applying the law, they are making the law.
From wht I can see,the degenerates and perverts [another name for Democrat]are the ones that appear to be winning.
We need lions and we have hyenas.
The problem is that Reps keep expecting the Dems will grow up act like responsible adults instead of behaving like the whiney little children that they are.
Yep, El Rushbo, tell me about it. The democs have lost seats in every election since 1994? But as a minority they still manage to block judicial appointments. They still manage to block Social Security reform. They still manage to stay out of jail when they commit crimes that you or I would go to jail for?
The democs may not be winning elections because of grass roots folks like me, but they are sure as hell winning in setting policy in this country.
What does the majority need, a 101 to -1 margin to be effective??????
Give me a break, I agree with the person who sent the email to you.....
The Dems have taken down very few Republicans, Lott, Gindrich and others were not taken down-ther were browbeaten into quitting. I do not see DeLay quitting and the Dems do not have anything but trumped up aligations against him. DeLay is here to stay.
Right idea, wrong country.
Rush may be right but I have a problem with it. I don't read the newspapers, listen to talk shows anymore including his, don't read any newspapers on line, and I have this perception the Reps are lilly livered spineless wimps. Where did I get it? Has to be right here on FR. Only place I do read news stories and hear opinions.
We aren't in the post journalism age, we're in the post culture age, and we have the public schools to thank for it.
Attaboy, Rush. Tell it like it is.
By the way, the email that he was responding to sounds like 70% of the posters on FR. It can be depressing sometimes to hear the Chicken Littles bashing Frist and Hastert while ignoring the antics of Ted Kennedy and Dingy Harry Reid. Where's that fighting spirit? Can you be tough with anyone other than Republicans?
Note: I'm not saying that RINOs shouldn't be targeted. I'm merely saying that sometimes, we could use a bit more perspective than we show on here by branding the entire GOP as "limpwristed Republicans."
Name the Republicans in the Senate that have stood up and told the Democrats to go to hell. We are in the majority now. We make the rules.
The person who wrote the email is correct.
Rush Limbaugh is wrong.
Rush is in the pocket of the Republicans. Hannity and Rush need their audience and they want their big contract more than they want to be honest.
The Republicans are wimps to an extreme. Hannity and Rush fail to criticize the Republicans. Hannity and Rush talk like RNC loyalists, not supporters and defenders of Constitutional principle.
The person who wrote this email is totally correct.
Quod erat demonstratum. See post #28.
There are a number of them, in fact the majority of GOP senators are made of the right stuff. Unfortunately, it's the McCain's, Chafee's and Specter's that we keep hearing about through the liberal media.
If no Republicans have stood up to the Dems, please explain how we purportedly have at least 50 votes for the nuclear option, according to McConnell. Any takers? I thought that they were ALL a bunch of limp wristed wimps.
The Senate is a perfect example with rinos like Specter et puke.
I get more, better, faster, more accurate news in ten minutes with FR and Drudge than any major paper can give in 48 hours. If some wacko, elitist, dinkwad, liberal media whore doesn't like it they can kiss a certain unshaven orifice or two. They can cry me a river. They can moan and groan about how "insensitive" I am. I could care less. They've earned nothing but contempt. Spineless, gutless bastards of an age gone wrong; pining hippies who see no good in life other than to please their own egos.
Give me another paragrpaph or two and I'll tell you how I really feel, but I'd rather not be banned.
Um, I don't buy for a second that we have 50 votes.
All of this is TALK. We want ACTION on the filibuster.
Problem is, all Frist and the spineless weanies (yes, I'm one of the ones who thinks our side is doing a VERY POOR JOB being the MAJORITY PARTY) will probably negotiate some wimpy "compromise" with Reid, that essentially leaves the problem in place.
I will believe it when I see it. Of course, hell may freeze over before then, I'm afraid.
2006 and 2008 are not going to look pretty for the R side if we don't move on this thing - and move NOW. I for one (along with many others) will sit out - more in protest and disgust against these idiots who won't do what WE sent them there to do in the first place. What good does it do to elect them if they just continue on the good ole' boy network status quo, and ignore the will of the voters? NOTTA.
'06 and '08 are gonna be a mess, IMHO. If the pubbies don't get the filibuster problem solved NOW, I fear we may see Democrat control of POTUS and both branches of Congress (they already control the judiciary).
THAT is how important this is!
Actually it is the Constitutional option.
Why haven't they already voted?
How many judicial nominees have been voted out of Committee that the Democrats oppose?
How about Bolton? Not only has he been slandered and lied on by Democrats, A "Republican stabbed him in the back as well.
I won't even mention Tom Delay lynching, aided again,by a "Republican" or how many judicial nominees that the Democrats oppose have been confirmed by the Senate.
The Brits in the Battle of Britain were in serious trouble.
DeLay and Bolton are not in serious trouble unless the conservatives blink, surrender, and retreat.
It is time to stand our ground and fight. Never surrender.
Are you listening to yourself? "Why haven't they already voted?"
I can understand the impatience, but do you realize the enormity of what the GOP is about to do? We are about to break the back of the Democrats on the judiciary. Can't you see how this has to be a well-coordinated effort, to build public support as well as put pressure on those Senators who would just as soon not vote on it?
Take a deep breath, sport, and look at the big picture. I understand the frustration, but to bash the GOP now and lose focus is NOT the answer. We'll have plenty of time to settle scores with RINOs later, once the dust has cleared.
