Thinking of Throwing a Tantrum in November?

I have a novel idea. How about the Republicans in Washington not give their base a reason to do such things.

Just a thought.

[atomic_dog]

Would this "teach the Republicans a lesson"?

Who even cares any more. They had their chance and they blew it. Only insane people keep doing the same thing and expect a different result. Time to try something new.

I'm with you. My point is......well the alternative isn't good.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Read my lips, if they reward, aid and abet criminals by giving them voting status, there will no longer be an America.

They will be fighting over who will be the family to rule North America.

i think they are in a 'catch 22' where they cannot please their base and cannot please their moneymen

[TechnicalEcstacy]

I have to admit, I am thinking of doing this. The one thing many politicians count on, is that they can do whatever they please, and the base will in the end vote for them because the alternative is worse. I can't go along with this. I will only vote Republican if the border situation is solved.

Yes, and it's also a contact sport. I happen to like big people such as Charlie Rangle...when they fall they more noise.

If the 'Pubbies don't get with the program, they will go down to ignominious defeat in November, and they will deserve every bit of it.

Agreeded. I am for the Bush plan on illegal immigration here. I realize many are not. However, if one has displeasure at ones congressman and how they vote you voice that opinion in the primaries. Better yet people get out and work in the trenches for their candidate. At the end of the day no matter who wins we pull together behind the the Republican that wins. Its a pretty good system. The rhetoric on this immigration issue and others has anyone that happens to disagree on certain aspects labled a RHINO. I nominate that as the most overused word of the year. Sen Brownback for instance a RHINO? I think not.

Then I guess they have to consider the unthinkable - do the right thing.

[Thunder90]

Don't forget that if the Republicans lose the majority, amnesty WILL get passed!!!

[steel_resolve]

Agreed. They blow illegal immigration and come November they are toast. And it will be their fault, NOT MINE.

[Jeff Gordon]

Nancy Palosi, Speaker of the House.

Now that would be some real nasty punishment.

[KoRn]

"well the alternative isn't good."

I agree completely. They still have time to turn things around in DC, they need to get busy.

[bushsupporter30]

And again, if the Pubbies go down, what do you think the alternative is going to be? DO you think the opposition is going to address ANY of the conservative issues that might be dear to you???

[CobaltBlue]

I agree with you 100%.

But try this experiment -- ask people, not what they think about "Congress" but about their own representatives.

The answers are different, is my experience.

Yes, and it's also a contact sport. I happen to like big people such as Charlie Rangle...when they fall they make more noise. (Sorry for the double post.)

[kinoxi]

i agree, just stating what i thought was reality

[usmcobra]

Great you do that and I'll have to vote twice.

I can you know, I live in Florida, the democratic section.
