Mo1,
I don't think you would be handing over anything; it is just a question of cleaning up the battle lines so that we know where to make a stand. Right now the enemy within is a bigger problem then the Democratic party. I would rather elect Pelosi, then McCain or Gullianni; at least then we would have a clear enemy to unite against, and would be able to set a strategy to frustrate them and regain control.
1. Pulling out of Iraq prematurely, and then watch the slaughter?
2. Allowing the Islamofascists to re-group when we now have them seriously on the run.
3. Humiliating us and our military to the point in the world where we may not come back?
Suicide. Great idea......we'll all be fine and politically pure when we're decapitated.
It would be understandable if Pelosi lead as she woul lead. A republican McCain or Gullianni would set a new setting a new standard within the GOP and after 2 terms of a McCain or Gullianni a Bush administration would be seen as conservative as a Barry Goldwater. In other words, oit would move the party to the left. That hurts America and the GOP.
1st ... You are a fool to want Pelosi in charge
2nd .. McCain and Gullianni will not make it out of the primaries .. they are both too liberal on domestic issues .. and McCain is too liberal on the WOT issue
