[ElPatriota]

People who steadfastly assert that they are "not afraid" are almost always lying.

Why do you say that?... When Clinton was in office - for 8 years!! - we (Reps) survived and I would even say we kept him in check pretty good. The party recharged its batteries, reformulated their main beliefs and went for it, the rest of history. How else can we expect any changes from those Reps we consider gone off the main path, unless we are willing to vote them out - in principle? How else?

Dittos, ElPatriota. This country survived decades of 'Rat control. It wasn't pretty, and it took conservatives decades to come up with a mandate that Americans wanted, BUT IT HAPPENED. And it can happen again.
