One would hope..
Hillary as Prez with Bill as 1st gentleman would be obscene.. It would pretty much be curtains for the U.S... With the only real opposition being RINOs.. The U.S.A would become like Canada famous for being a little North of Mexico..

Not only McDermott .. how about the new stuff on Rangel. His aides went to the ethics committee and I hear it's now more than just the 2 original complaints.

And there's a thread here about 11 democrats and 1 repub who got convicted in the last 5 years.

Do you think the conviction and sentencing of Duke Cunningham will have any significant effect in the upcoming election cycles for or to either side?

Sorry for the delay, I had to step out. (no beer)

As for Cunningham, I don't think his conviction will have the effect Democrats are hoping for. Most of the country understands that Duke got caught doing something that Democrats are famous for doing.

You're right! Come November when the voters are tucking in their kids I am most certain they will stop to think just who is protecting them and their family, is it President Bush and the Republicans....Or is it the democrat/liberals who are standing on the enemy soil tearing down our president and this country. I think the choice is clear.

The problem I see is that as the Rats move even further to the left, they are dragging the GOP leftward with them.






That is because the GOP has no ideological anchor. As this scenario plays itself out, it gets harder for me to get all worked up over whether the GOP keeps its majority. Both parties are moving in the same direction. The difference is that there are some in the GOP who yearn for a change in direction, whereas most of the Dems want to merely speed up our leftward plunge. The GOP needs a change in leadership and that is not going to happen until 2008. They may win in 2006, but it will not result in a fundamental change in direction. The current GOP leadership is too comfortable with big government.

Wishful thinking and insipid name-calling are no substitute for clear-eyed assessment of the situation and strategizing.

Amen. This thread is proof positive that the right has its Drinkers O'the KoolAid just like the left. Here's reality: It's tough to have intelligent reasoned debates on here precisely because of the attitude that launched this thread. If you take any position contrary to a Bush position, you're "negative" or a "lily liver" or any of a host of other ridiculous perjoratives. Despite that, I base my opinions on the facts I observe and my conversative values. I do not, and will not, base my opinions on what Dubya or anyone else does or believes, as do so many on here.

You know, we used to say that Klinton could rape a nun on the White House lawn on national TV and the left would still find a way to support him. There's zero difference in that kind of blind loyalty and the kind that finds a silver lining in whatever Bush does. Yes, there's a vast difference in those two men, but the loyalty principle is exactly the same.

A prime example is immigration. There's no doubt in my mind that if Freeperdom was totally unaware of Bush's stance on immigration, and that stance was posted here for discussion, it would be ripped to shreds as idiotic. Yet because it's the Bush position, it's declared to be some sort of masterful strategy or some such nonsense.

Polls: Yes, some of them are biased, especially the ones constructed by the staggeringly biased MSM. But a lot of them are spot on. Oddly enough, there's no blasting of them when Bush (or any other GOP element) is doing well in them, but the moment they paint less than a rosy picture, they're decried as meaningless. I remember in 2000 on election eve, Zogby releasing his poll that showed Gore taking a slight lead in the national picture, equivalent of course to the popular vote. Oh the hilarity and name-calling that ensued. "Zogby Sauce" and such. 24 hours later, when it was obvious that the poll had been dead on, the topic quietly died. That goes on over and over.

I'll take intelligent, reasoned debate, based on facts, any day over wishful thinking and baseless complacency.

MM

Well .. when people like Chris Wallace are dismayed by Hillary and Bill having opposite foreign policies re the port deal .. it's not a good sign for Hillary.

The polls, despite wholesale Freeper denial, are on balance accurate.

The exit polls were wrong on election day. How many times do the media polls have to be proven wrong for you to stop eating what they're feeding?

The media lies and when you repeat those lies, you are a liar.

You are wrong.

Is there an attorney here at Free Republic? I would like to bet Pukin Dog $10,000.00 that he is dead wrong. I will give $10,000 to the attorney to hold in escrow, Pukin Dog will do the same.

The loser of the bet pays the attorney a fee, to be named by the attorney and agreed to by the two of us.

Ping me when the three of us can discuss the logistics and draw up the contract. I know a good bet when I see one. I made some big money with OIH put options a few weeks back, and made more money with Russell 2000 call options. I know this bet looks like a near sure thing.

Please ping me so we can get this thing drawn up.

You don't get it.

I think there are serious problems with Bush's immigration policy. I just don't happen to think they are bad enough to risk a DEMOCRAT immigration policy instead. Some of you think punishing George H for his tax raise was more important than what you got in the form of Bill Clinton.

I am trying to get some of the less thoughtful among you to understand that a bad deal is sometimes preferred over a HORRIBLE deal, which is what you will get if you let your anger cause you to sit at home on election day. You will get your pound of flesh, but the rest of the country will get a foot up it's butt courtesy of the Democrats. What is so hard to understand about that if you have a lick of common sense?

Exit polls are one thing. As I have said many times, any individual poll can be off.

A dozen polls that all tell the same basic story, and continues to over time, gives you useful information.

Recognize that.
