I hope they continue to.I don't want them wallowing in the gutter with the Democrats.
They have proven they can win in the "arena of ideas".My fear is that they will become too cautious.
Without pushing ideas forward and standing on principle,they will lose their advantage.We'll know that's happened if the Democrats start showing them any courtesy.
Democrats can be quite pleasant when everything is going their way.
Blumenthal was the worst, blaming the President, by claiming he diverted funds meant to reinforce the levee, for the war in Iraq. The only wall I remember the Clinton administration built, the one he was a lead hatchet man for, was the wall not even Able Danger could surge through. Can you imagine what kind of levee they could have built if they put the same kind of energy into protecting New Orleans, as they did into protecting Al-Kduh?
Katrina has created a humanitarian crisis worse than any natural disaster in U.S. history.There have been other huge natural disasters in the US. Just a few examples: the hurricane that hit Galveston, TX in 1900 (http://www.1900storm.com/)and the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco (http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/info/1906/). In both cases, cities were destroyed but we didn't have 24 hour MSM news coverage that politicians could exploit.
For the last few years the Democrats have reminded me of a bunch of brand new second lieutenants on their first day at the .45 range. You just KNOW one of them is going to shoot himself in the foot.
Is it possible to be named Kennedy and be sane?
But the Republicans are the one winning one election after another. What do you think is the end game in any political fight? Winning election, as simple as that. The liberals and their media whores have thrown everything under the sun on President Bush last year, no sitting President was ever attacked by his political opponents as President Bush has been attacked by his, but at the end the liberals and thier media whores were crushed and he was re-elected with the largest number of votes ever cast for a President in US history. Never forget the lessons of the 2004 elections, we can win despite the most difficult of odds.
LOL! Especially the ROTC types!
This is all correct, but remember that Bush and the GOP could count on the alternative media to deal with the opposition, and there are more than enough involved in that arena now to handle pretty much any challenge from anywhere.
I don't want all-out trench-brawling, but someone has to be the nightwatchman.
I just realized some folks might have read the post I responded to in a different light. I saw it as a warning that we ought not to get too complacent.
Something to the effect that Blumenthal's opinion was so important that he could only get it published in German and in Germany. LOL!
You don't realize that he is Worthy to do all the things that you I aren't supposed to do, because he is one of the "Anointed".
Because he is a Kennedy, and he is also a Liberal Democrat!
Senator Byrd was equally shrill and contemptible, but he may simply have forgotten that Mr. Rumsfeld once served as a naval officer and a member of Congress. "I've just heard enough of your smart answers to these people here who are elected. We are elected. You're not elected," said the West Virginia Senator who never served in any uniform except the white cloak of the Ku Klux Klan. He then ordered the Defense Secretary: "So get off your high horse when you come up here…Have a little respect for what we try to do."
Thanks for the Ollie Ping! How did I miss this one?
