I'm not slitting my wrists, but I'm not optimistic. Sorry. Even though I'm not a huge Delay fan, I'm not crazy about how he was removed. Now Democrats know they can threaten Republicans with any kind of bogus scandal.
Well, look at it this way; you'll have a lot more to bitch and moan about! You should be thrilled about that; you can come on all the threads and tell everybody how disdainful you are of the rest of us and how you're a "real, true" conservative" and we're not.
Ditto.
If you want a new election, fine, by all means, call it. But don't call it because the Dems are on a political witchhunt. The whole way they conducted the axing of Delay still sickens me, and makes me look at talk of "reform" with a jaundiced eye. They didn't even have the character to stand up to the Dems and treat Delay with the respect earned for how well he did the job.
And, also, if some folks are unhappy with the new selection? Tough. Some of you helped drive Lott out, who I agree should have gone but NOT in that way under the cloud of being a "racist", and got Frist.
When you drive people out under MSM cloaked clouds, you deserve what you get. If you want to conduct an above board election call one when the MSM doesn't have the individual's head on a chopping block so it's entirely focused on issues and ideas. This race wasn't. It was a reaction to Abramhoff which is NOT the way it's supposed to be.
