"between the judicial appointments and illegal immigration and deficit spending; unless the GOP gets its collective act together they may find themselves out of the WH and in the Congressional minority because conservatives will just stay home in November '06 & '08... "




I tend to agree. Then we have the threat of Hillary in the WH to scare people to the polls, and the Republicans know it. That's why they have us over a barrel. If the Republicans can't get their act together, it will be third party for me. I don't care what kind of boogey man is waiting in the wings. If we can't get some decent people on the SC, when we have both houses and the WH, then we will never be able to do it.

That's where they're "misunderestimating" the base.

Threat of Hillary or not..if they let us down AGAIN (Lucy and the football, anyone?)..it's Third Party for me. I realize that it'd be a wasted vote - but, if enough of us do it - and send a strong message that they cannot take the conservative vote for granted, maybe FINALLY it will sink in and they'll start doing what we sent them to Washington to do.

As much as I hate to say it, I'd almost accept Hillary in the WH to make a point.

Either way - if Dubya lets down the conservative base on this, I'm personally DONE voting (R). I'm out.

Hey, here's a thought..maybe this is all "strategery" and Dubya is a closet lib trying to destroy the party from within. Don't laugh - almost everything he's done (non-existent border control, weak on domestic defense, spending like a drunken sailor and horrible immigration policy) looks, smells, and quacks like a liberal duck.

I guess there's very little left today of "true conservatives". It's just differing degrees of liberalism.
