Gary is right. Some of us (including myself) really have thrown in the towel for now. Novak had it right: Is this what we fought for? Harriet Miers?!?! Not me. If they persist with her, this gentleman is going to put his election year efforts into golf in 2006 and 2008. Had I (and many of us) known we would get Harriet Miers nominated, John Kerry would be President right now - plain and simple. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (his title in 2007) is going to be a powerful man in about 15 months. But we need a majority! For....um....you know....stuff......

So because you don't like a nomination that President Bush made in 2005, you're not going to support conservative Republicans in the 2006 Congressional elections, nor the Republican nominee in 2008? Why would you hold what Bush did against, say, George Allen in 2008? Or John Kyl or Conrad Burns in 2006? What purpose does that serve?

You're right.

Someone here used the usual squishy republican line of reasoning that we can't forget we're fighting a war....so we can't do anything that might make us lose the next battle.

Guess what - we were fighting the war for this very thing! Supreme court seats that could roll back the destruction of the constitution and the advance of liberalism through our courts.

But now that we have the power to do that, it's just not that important? That's crazy talk.

I'm getting sick and tired of the excuses why we can't win or can't fight while we're in power. If we can't do this now, why in the hell were you telling everybody to get you in power? Are you that incompetent and ineffective as political party leaders, RNC heads?


You don't fight the war just to get into office- you fight the war to get into office so you can enact your agenda!
