It was important, and folks wouldn't have done it if it wasn't. But this has created a situation where the Republican's have lost their majority and we don't seem be able to find it in ourselves to quit fighting amongst ourselves thinking that the conservative base is all that counts at this point. Folks are saying, we have to sit on our hands and give the government over to the Democrats in November so that Bush gets the message.
The time to assert the POWER of the base is during primaries when we are selecting OUR candidates. This means selecting specific RINO's and kicking their butts. Then electing their conservative replacement. Attempting to assert our power during the General election is facing out own party with certain defeat and watching out ability to assert any power slip away. The MSM is no friend of the base. The lies told to take down President Bush are repeated as fact day after day from banner head lines.. and this won't get better once the Dems are in control. Bush will be impeached and humiliated despite the fact that he was 100% right and we will see talk radio swept from the air by the "fairness" doctrine..
Ask the Dems, what its like to be out. They hate it so much the are willing to risk losing the War to get power back..
The Reps have decided to assure losing the war for what.. to teach Snarling Arlen who is not up for election a lesson.
Unfortunately we will live with this "message" for at least 6 years no matter what and Bush will be made into the Nixon and conservatives will be blamed for the fiasco.
At this point we are all fools, because this is not the 1970's. Its radical Islam which will be left unchecked for 6 years at least. Will this war be easier to win 6 years from now? What would have happened if we had attempted to start fighting WWII after 6 year time out.. lets say after Hitler took Europe. Just took a few years off. Leaving Iran in this position is the plan.
If the US pulls out, like the Democrats will be forced to do by their base, then repeating Vietnam, we will see Iraq fall under Iran's wheels and they know this.
Our enemies are celebrating.. and we are thinking.. we'll teach those RINO's a lesson. Yep.. we'll teach us all lessons.

Agreed with everything you said, except this. The Dhimms are not willing to risk losing the War. The want to lose the war. They not only hate being out of power, they hate America.
