I'm not parading around at some whine fest talking about my feelings, I'm calling attention to the fact that this republican congress and republican president hasn't shown any evidence (apart from the lack of half dressed interns in the oval office restrooms) that they are any different than the democrats. They certainly don't give a damn about my concerns on immigration, they spend my money like Ted Kennedy on a three day binge and they increase government and it's control over my life every chance they get.

The republican congress was more effective under Clinton than they were under Bush because at least then they could be against something.

The SCOTUS issue is a big one I'll grant you, but at the rate the republicans are going I'm not convinced it's worth it anymore. Besides, Roberts wasn't a conservative appointment, he was a compromise. I may be wrong but it seems to me that when you hold both houses and the executive, it's not the time to compromise with the opposition, it's time to squash them like bugs. But not Bush...

It's true, I'm fed up with being ignored, but I don't see how staying faithful to the party line has gotten me a damned thing. He may have cut taxes, but he dramatically increased spending. So he took his hand out of my pocket and put it into my child's. doesn't sound like a bargain to me.

As for the war, it's a decision I've supported since the beginning. I escaped the trade center by the skin of my teeth on September 11th, and had friends of 25 years lose their lives that day. So your insults don't hold much water.

If you don't like that I don't want to tow the party line you can take your opinion and shove it.

I agree that the Republicans haven't been everything we want them to be, but they are better than the Democrats on almost every issue. On issues, such as illegal immigration, where the Donks are making better noises, they are faking it. There is no way on God's Green Earth the Donks are going to do anything about illegal immigration.

The one thing that really sets them apart, though, is the War on Terror. On this, there is no comparison. And on this, I am pretty much a one-issue voter.

My hope is that the Republicans finally realize that border control, fiscal discipline and a conservative Supreme Court are necessary components of a successful War on Terror, and unite behind these issues. Then I will be a truly happy camper.

Until then, I pull the (R) with some regret. But I still pull the (R).

I think many of us are frustrated and disappointed that the Republicans are not living up to what we voted them into office for, but, still ?
Republicans not doing their job is better than having Hillary Clinton become President.....

that should be a sobering reminder if anything.

Yes, I am disappointed that they are not doing anything about the immigration issue, or our open borders, or spending more they what they should, but, we will have to look at what could happen to this country if Hillary and the Democrats get back into power, and believe me, it will get even worse.
