And don't they know it!!!
I bet that is why they are more "in your face" to President Bush...they know their tenure is secure..
I think that Sen. Warner is up though..and he was in the gang of dwarfs..
One RINO that we do know is up for re-election is Lincoln Chafee..and incredibly, they (Bush Administration) are gonna make the same mistake with him,that they did with Specter...UNLESS, we can let them know that, that would be a losing proposition in the eyes of their constituents.
I was so angry, when I heard this news. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Didn't really expect you would.
Personally, I'd LOVE if Repubs turned on and 'shot' pea-brained McCain (politically speaking of course)
It is not so much the Democrats as it is the fact that the liberal news media conducts a 24/7 infomercial for the Democrat political agenda and create controversies out of thin air to attack Republicans with.
On CNN this morning, the talking head finished a story about Delay's connection with Abramoff with the comment that a senior Democrat had labeled the Abramoff matter as an example of the "Republican culture of corruption".
On NPR this morning, the talking heads were discussing the fact that the Abramoff scandal would affect both Democrats and Republican Congressmen so they labeled the Democrat involvement as "business as usual" for politicians.
If Clinton had been in the White House during Katrina, the Big Story would have been how Clinton conducted one of American history's largest rescue efforts to save poor black people. Since Bush was in the White House, the Big Story was how Bush hates black people because he had not rescued every last one of them 36 hours after Katrina had passed New Orleans.
Bush's approval now stands at 40% according to a new AP poll. Disapproval is at 59%. Congress has an approval of 34%.
(The President's actualy approval rating is about 50%, in spite of the leftist media's barrage of lies and distortions to try to push it down. If the truth were known, it would be significantly higher).
The more corrupt you are in the Dem party, the more power you get.
That's why anyone who says, "There's no difference between the two because they're ALL corrupt" is flat out lying, or living in abject ignorance.
Let's clean out the guilty here, and keep the honor of the Republican party strong.
(Every time the vile Pelosi uses the words "culture of corruption" I want to hurl.....)
Because if you do, that would be really funny.....
Caving in? More like he's running for cover.
So disappointing. Ya just don't know who to trust any longer.
Well put. As befits your name. I suppose we can take some comfort from the fact that no matter how low the President's numbers might be at any time, they are always better than those for the media. Still, the never-ending onslaught of the press gets to be tiresome. I would like to see more direct attacks on the media, naming names and impugning their motives, by Republican leaders. Direct and open warfare would be preferable to the constant game of playing defense and denying charges.
I agree. That's what all this was about. The left made no bones about the fact they loathed The Hammer.
The Abramoff is much, much worse than Earle's witch hunt. The fact that Duke Cunningham wore a wire...
I'm afraid that this will be devastating, too.
"The problem is that Graham is not due for re-election until 2008 and I think McCaine is not due until 2010."
Graham currently has a 56% approve/30% disapprove rating in South Carolina. McCain is at 67% approve/28% disapprove in Arizona. The electorate tends to hate Congress but love their individual representatives. That's why the incumbent reelection rate is so high regardless of party.
On the whole, RINOs are extremely popular in their home states and next to impossible to defeat. That's how they can remain RINOs.
Absolutely true! Whenever I get royally steamed up over the Dims, libs, left-wingers & leftie mass media, I get equally PO'd over the cowardly Repukes as they either pander endlessly to the Dims or fail to respond at all to treasonous remarks or the growth of pork barrel spending or the assult on Christianity. President Bush & the other Repuke leaders are classic in the failure to stand firm on conservative principles & values.
Can anyone explain to me where the invisible line between "lobbying" and bribing is? Yeah, I know. If a Republican is involved it is bribing, but if a Democrat is involved, it is just lobbying.
