Noted, but in the meantime, it probably wouldn't hurt to keep the seat hot for some of these feckless appeasers we have sitting in the U.S. Congress.
Here is a stronger message for RINOs and sell-outs: WE OWN YOU.
Yep, leave you conscience and morals at home and vote for the lesser of two evils.
or
Reach into that toilet and pick up the small piece of s**t.
Take your pick.

Well, there is the Republican party with some conservative members and some not so conservative and then there's the evil Marxist liberal socialist Democrat Party. I'd rather have a conservative Republican in office, but I'll take a not so conservative Republican over any evil Marxist liberal socialist Democrat any day of the week. And I might express my unhappiness with some of his policies but I think I've learned my lesson about irreversibly trashing the Republican office holder or the Republican base or the party itself (at least not too much trashing). As they say, the alternative is unthinkable.

I always love this phrase--like the House is this Democrat possession which was stolen from them.
Arguing that the Republicans are responsible for this "which do I pick?" situation while those who will allow Dems to take over are blameless is hilarious on a site that supposedly prides itself on self-reliance and responsibility.
The next time a kid at school does something wrong and says "It wasn't MY fault, he MADE me do it!" I will think of many at FR.
i agree, i vote straight (R) all the time. Saves time and I would never vote for a dem.
Yep. The dem's "advantage" is overblown. In Cali's 50th, they couldn't do any better than 44% after that POS Duke dragged good Republicans through the mud. We'll win in November, and we'll win in 2008.
You are doing more to destroy conservative unity at FR then unite it, imo. Keep it up.
We need a reality check!!
Does anyone have some of the horror that was going on during the 40 years the RATS had control?
We need a reminder thread devoted just to what the RATS really did during their 'glory' years!!!
Who can dig up some of that reality for us please?
On the hourly news on the radio today I heard them talking about Rangel wanting to reinstate the draft again.
If the dems take the house, look for the draft to start making news. When I tell people the dems want to bring back the draft, they look at me. It is amazing how uniformed people are.
Well, at least somebody at the Washington Post is not drinking the Kool-Aid.
The dirty little secret is that 95% of the House seats are rigged for one party or the other. There just aren't that many competitive seats out there. The Dems can fantasize all they want, for example, that they can take Tom DeLay's seat outside of Houston but it ain't gonna happen.
At best, the Dems can inch closer to a split House but that's all they are going to get absent some major tidal shift.
In contrast, he said, Republicans will have to unite a fractious party around a nominee who still has not been officially named.
Who is talking?
A fractious party around a nominee, etc.!!
He must have talked about his own "sinking" party!??!
Is it my imagination or is it only Democrats who "retake" the House, while Republicans only temporarily commandeer it?
United WE stand. They go away, die off, or are incarcerated.
It's easy, doesn't cost a lot of money, and no blood is shed.
thanks for posting this one. It explains why the MSM and Democrats are united as never before to attack, malign, and destroy George Bush. The MSM wants democrats to regain power so they can have the fun of covering censure or even impeachment proceedings. Democrats want to oblige them.
Here comes the good news, money quote. Any quote from the Cook Political Report can be taken very seriously, and here is a big one, good news for us:
""If this election comes down to the individual, race-by-race, case-by-case campaigns, like we've seen for the last four cycles, the Democrats don't have enough top-tier candidates to win 15 seats," Amy Walters, a House political analyst at the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, said, referring to a net gain. "But they do have enough second- and third-tier candidates who can ride a wave."
I've said it before and will again.
Mid-terms are about base turnout. If you are a Republican, the GOP base currently outmatches the Dem base.
Doing things that infuriate your base is damn stupid. They won't lose because Democrats convert more voters. They could lose because their own sit home.
Plus I believe we can dump Melissa Bean in Illinois' 8th.
Also might be that they are trying to make Republicans complacent.
Rothenberg is the smartest most well-informed man in American in these issues.
