Good assessment T90, and that is the same thing I was telling some FReeper who was thinking of staying home because of something the party had done that didn't sit well with him (and there are several). The thing is that sitting home just gives the Dems an extra vote, and while GW has not been 'perfect' by any measure he is still better than any Dem out there (and the Dems would be far worse on all measures). The Dems have no viable solutions to anything (apart from blaming Bush), and the only way we can lose is by warming our lazychairs come election day.
All the Dims will do is propose instant citizenship for border crossers and massive welfare programs for any border crosser. Also, the Dims will dissolve the Border Patrol, because it is a "Racist" organization.
On the domestic front, we are losing right now and have been for 5 years. The moderate-at-best Republican congress fully cooperates with the moderate-at-best Republican in the White House, and between them they have been and are looting the trough like no one since LBJ.
Re-electing these thieves is continuing to lose. If we can't put in real conservatives, partisan gridlock when the Dems take the senate might be the next best thing.
