What we need to do above all is (1) to pick a fight and(2) fight back.
This rope a dope strategy of the administration has driven Bush's poll numbers to 31%. On every issue we have a good case to make, so why do we fail to make any case at all?

We barely have the time, do we have the will? NathanBedford, your posts are right on target (as was your namesake), but, sadly, I think the answer to your question above is, "no".
The Republicans are going to get a shellackin' this election, and, frankly, they DESERVE to get exactly that.
Will they will be shocked back to reality (and to the conservative side of the aisle) in time to prevent an even worse defeat in 2006?
