Oh, I'm sorry, was it 90%?
And who are the polls talking to, because I can't tell you how many Republicans and others out this way are so pissed off and are telling me they won't bother coming out to vote.

This is going to sink the Republican party for some time IMO.

They don't speak up lately regarding the high oil prices and the connection to the libs not allowing oil drilling and lack of refineries.
Then they go and back 11 million illegals who have been closing down hospitals, accessing the welfare system and extracting about 4 billion a year in public education tax money in California alone.

This is going to sink the party for quite a while despite what the polls or the RNC want to spin for you.

This keeps up, and by 2008 we will loose Congress, the Senate and White House.
