**Capitol Hill Republicans now admit their Democratic colleagues don't want peace -- they want the Alamo. So the GOP is fighting back.**

You got it, Tony! Keep pushing the GOP!

Someone up above noted he/she would vote against every Republican incumbent in the primaries and for the Republican nominee in the general election. Not a bad idea.

No, it is a bad idea. The Republican Party as a whole, nation-wide, needs to be sent a message in 2006. Otherwise, it is just the same old crap over and over. Conservatives should sit out 2006 or vote solidly against Republicans. The message is, "we put you in there, we can take you out."

Sticking to pronciple isn't bullying.

Don't let Democrats convince you that surrender is the only way to be liked.

He sure did. And I must say it came as a huge surprise to me. I've always thought of Tony as a decent, good-hearted person, but perhaps as something of a softy, in tone if not in substance.

But he sure came out with all guns a-blazin' today! Makes me wonder where it came from?

The GOP "is in trouble . . . because it's packed with cowards." Ouch!

If you really want to build lasting power in politics, you need to forget about mere incumbency -- and remember the principles that got you elected in the first place

A point forgotten by the GOP incumbents. The more they 'tack' left based on daily polls and stray from the GOP farm to cover their own butts, the more they resemble the dims. IF President Bush can get one more Supreme appointment, there will be little incentive to re elect the incumbents. The idea of throwing them out of office will become more inviting. Sometimes one has to back up before one can move forward.

Snow cannot bring himself to admit that the democrat and republican parties are one and the same. I suspect he knows it.

'2006 vote solidly against Republicans'

that's like cutting off your nose to spite your face! I suggest it's better to start calling, emailing, rallying..whatever....to let incumbent Repubs know 'the people' are not happy. I, for one, do not want to help elect any liberal Democrats! Problem seems to be that too many people (Repubs) who are not happy.....will talk but not act.

Republicans are not, for the most part, the cut and run surrender types, which the Democrats most certainly are.

Thanks for the ping, GL. It is an excellent piece. Never compromise first principles. A lesson the Pubs have yet to learn.

Unbelievably ignorant about the nature of what republicans are up against. Have some faith in them. Most rep pols are absolutely terrific people.

I love this president and think he will go down in history as a great man, but he is not a fiscal conservative, although he is a social conservative and both are important to me.

Congress is sending those spending bills to the President. And while it's true he could veto them, it's also true that the Republican Congress should be expected to do some of the heavy lifting when it comes to the conservative agenda. Instead they have shifted the entire burden to the White House, either waiting to get on board those policies that appear popular or to run for the hills when the fight looks tough. Their performance has been abysmal and they are as vacuous as the Democrats when it comes to leadership.

The current crop of scaredy cat republicans in congress, with the exception of a very few, have a bad case of Rockefeller Republicanitis,which can be fatal in off year elections.
