I too believe the Dems, or worse, will run things for a really long time if they are able to gain power. After all, conservatives are fighting a battle against social decay, the end point being socialism and communism.

Quite so. Bur does anyone have any ideas how we could discipline our Republican "representatives" without voting aginst them?

by electing reps that will do the will of the voters. toss the current batch out, for real conservatives.

Aarchaeus, I wish I did know how to make politicians behave but I do not. Booting them out of office certainly will remove them from a leadership role and will undoubtedly have them sadly discussing their political failures in their old age. However for my children's and my grandchildren's sakes, I am less concerned about making a politician sad than I am about making them do their job. It is my belief that conservatives have an increasingly tough battle ahead, but one thing that would probably help the strength of National- and State-level politicians is a good framework of conservatives in local offices. It has been my experience that liberals tend to make local elections a family affair and in doing so have really stacked the local decks with their own.

This is just my two cents from one who claims no formal analytical training in political affairs. As I have seen some wise Freeper's add to their comments, "your mileage may vary."
