It would be a shorter list to keep track of Republicans that don't do what you list.
Because right now I'm determined to give them what they fear most. Nope, not a nuke going off in a port, but a loss of their majorities. They've damn well earned it.
Three reasons to vote for Reps.
Judges--They wouldn't move on judges till we screamed bloody murder. Even now we have judges being filibustered and I simply DO NOT TRUST them to confirm a fifth Justice. I don't believe they will allow the balance on the court be changed. I just don't.
WOT- Warner resolution. McCain amendment. consultations on NSA taps. The way they have conducted themselves on these ports. I DO NOT TRUST THEM to hold firm in the WOT because they clearly haven't.
Impeachment- With an action like this they PROVE THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED not to impeach the President even with a Majority.
Therefore, I'm telling the Party it can go to hell.
I'll support Delay, probably Erlich & Steele, Harris and Blackwell and the Prez. Warner's even wormed his way back into my graces after his stupidity on judges, after the way he conducted himself here. But the rest of them? My Congressman can expect one less vote and the Reps can FORGET my voting for a probable RINO here in WA in '06 for Senate. Damn well not going to happen.
I hope all the usual Republican bashers and Third ways and Party cartel rhetoric spewing posters are punching their registration tickets to reward the Republican party in November for saving us from the evil UAE and G.W.B. After all, the damn fools in D.C. did this all for you. What a shocker this would be if you didn't...vote...for them. And what a fitting retribution this bunch in D.C. deserves.
It's not just votes they will need to make up...it's contributions and volunteer time. These folks seem to think that they built on their majority in the House and regained and then added to their majority in the Senate because of their well articulated message and charming group of messengers. We will see how effective they are without the President and his team in the lead.
I am as disgusted as you are...glad to see I am not alone.
I saw on another thread that Frist is thinking about a "nuke option" to keep the dems from having an investigation of the NSA program...but, Frist is one of the least trustworthy..IMHO...NOT because he lies necessarily...but because he is ineffective.
BTW....the Congressweinies deprived those of us that WANTED to hear the review of the Dubai deal a chance...they demanded that Bush give them the 45 days...and when he did, they waited 6 whole days before they USED our troops by putting the amendment in the Supplemental Military bill, trying to pay Bush back by humiliating him...
I can't name ANY Congressweinie that I have respect for right now...
Granddaughter bugging me...may post more later.
