Peggy wrote several Bush bashing articles of late. I used to like her, but as I said, I am very disappointed in her.
"Exactly how having a Dem Control of congress is going to help America? It will lead to more taxes,more illegals, more activist judges pushing perversion down the society and creating special rights for terrorists.."
By doing what you said, they will try to move forward full steam with socialism, and fail miserably. Then at the next election republicans will act like republicans, and sweep in a landslide like 94. At least thats what the plan is.
The Dems will have enough activist judges installed to continue their agenda even they are voted out of office.
Thats why we cannot let the Dems control congress.

How long has the communist regime been in power in Cuba? aNd it's still there. Are you really anxious to turn the US into a communist country?
The world has passed her by.
She used to be a very talented writer -- but for the last year, she's been losing it quickly, and sounds like most of the punch-drunk mass media writers who could have been "somebody," but failed to keep up with the fast-evolving world of writing.
I think it's mainly that the whole bunch of them stopped growing about ten years ago, whether conservative or liberal -- and are hoping the old style of mass media self-importance and self-indulgence is going to make a comeback -- if they keep on repeating history, as though they knew the future.
So sad. They stopped growing and insisted everybody else has to too -- so they can remain at the top of the heap, in their faded memories of the past. The rest of the public has to contend with Alzheimer's; with people in the media, it's Helen Thomas' Disease. It's fatal but they go on breathing for a long time after the brainwaves have flatlined. Their editors can't tell the difference and go on cutting the checks until the publications themselves pass into history.
While that could be the result, I'm afraid it would be more along the lines of "we took too hard of a line and that's what why we lost. People want us to moderate."
You'd think the threat of losing office would be enough to wake them up...the writing is on the walls already - they need to wake up.
Is your "turning" a turning over of the House and Senate to the Democrats? Is that what you are advocating?
"The board is here for us to hash these matters out, not to censure every uncomfortable reality."
It appears to me that Peggy's commentary is still posted at the top of this thread. Where is the censuring? Or should I be censured from speaking my opinion about her?
"My vote has to be earned, not taken for granted."

So please tell us how the DEMOCRATS "EARNED" your vote. That's whom you will be helping.
And something else to think about:
All investigations, all the time (if Dems capture Congress)

New Taxes Will Be Imposed on the Wealthy - by Democrats

"Frankly, the Republicans deserve to lose this fall's election, after their wild spending and pandering to economic ignorance on gas prices. But a Republican defeat would only bring in the Democrats -- and the country does not deserve anything that disastrous. The Democrats' petty obstruction and irresponsible demagoguery in wartime disqualifies them for national leadership when a nuclear Iran and nuclear terrorists loom on the horizon.
If the GOP doesn't earn my vote, they may earn themselves a defeat. Temporary minority status might just be what's in order to wake the GOP up, or shake out the RINOs next time around. A simple majorty does not mean absolute power, as demonstrated by all three houses right now controlled (but ineffectively ruled) by the GOP.
That will most likely be the out come, the GOP real problem is not 06 but 08. That said the GOP might very well lose enough close races (due to conservative disapontment with the GOP) to lose the house. Hope not, might still be able to get back some very upset conservatives but I don't how how. Conservatives just no longer trust Republicans.
Temporary...like 12 years...or perhaps 40?
Wow, what a rogues gallery.
You didn't answer. How are the DEMOCRATS earning your vote?
By not voting for the Republicans, you are voting for Democrats.
It's one or the other.
"Maybe you should send this collage of Dem pictures to Peggy and ask her if she really wants THIS to happen."
P
Maybe you should send this collage of Dem pictures to Bush and the Republicans in the senate ask them if they really want THIS to happen.
No, as previously stated, my vote has to be earned and not taken for granted. I'm beginning to empathize with black voters who vote Democrat...
