Well said.
Last election cycle, I didn't give money to the Nat. Repub. Senatorial Committee (NRSC) because I feared that some would go to Arlen Spector. Instead, I gave to 9 GOP Senate candidates and was thrilled that 7 of them won.
Although we need to hear what the deal is before condemning it, it's hard to believe that the deal is good considering that Senator John Warner (RINO-VA) is backing it. After Warner voted against confirming Judge Bork, I've only voted for Warner once when it was a close race. Other times, I voted for the Const. Party or Libertarian Party Senate candidate.
People should strongly back the good Republicans and just not back the other GOPers except when absolutely needed to avoid a Dem winning.
It seems like he abandons principle the minute that he's out of political danger.
That's what I'm saying. This is not a good situation, but hurling oneself over a cliff...as some in here seem to be leaning towards...is a bit extreme. We have a lot of options -- we can vote out the ones we don't like...we have third parties...heck, if there's no one I like to vote for, I can always write in my own name.
But to give up our freedoms...one of our basic fundamental privileges here...because of this setback is just not right. We end up hurting ourselves. And you know, it plays into the hands of the enemy (the socialists) too.
