I heard on NPR last night of all places, John Fund from the WSJ and another republican consultant discussing this very topic. It was what I wanted to hear as I was beginning to think I was the only one who saw what is coming, at least around here.

They were adamant about dems picking up seats because conservatives ARE NOT going to support RINOs (they called them moderates) as they won't support them. They stated the the republicans have all the power but have abandoned their principles that got them there in the first place.

They essentially said the WH and the party has got 6-8 to turn it around or say goodbye.

They musta' said Bush is a republican but governs like a liberal a dozen times.

Yep, and it's as clear as day to you and I. For the life of me, I cannot understand how the Republicans can continue on their current path, knowing how disgruntled their base is. They must think that when voting time comes around, the alternative will be so horrible that we'll have no other choice. That's basically how I flowed in '00 and '04, but not again. Honestly, how different would it be if Kerry had been elected?

You're right. Republicans are in trouble because they allowed dems and the MSM to define every issue and then scream lie after lie for weeks and months with little or no rebuttal. However, events may overtake this discussion about coming elections. Iran, for instance. (Less than two weeks to some kind of deadline there.) If we take care of business with Iran, clean up Iraq, if Syria decides to come to heel, if the administration rams through a sensible immigration bill that fixes the border...well, a lot of 'if's'.

Truer words were never posted. And the mood of the masses is going to be the "if there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats, we might as well vote Democrat" 2006 could be a disaster.
