And how, pray tell, do you mean to control which house of congress flips? If you "disenchanted conservatives" do stay home in 2006, what's to stop us from losing both houses?
Even if you could engineer a single house flipping, which one would you choose? Giving the libs control of either house would be an unmitigated disaster for legislation and the president's agenda, most of which is a HUGE SUCCESS FOR CONSERVATIVES.
Have you ever heard of the phrase "going from the frying pan to the fire?" What do you think will happen when you eliminate Republicans because they're not conservative enough for you, knowing full well that they will be replaced by Democrats, who are far more liberal?
You are MUCH closer to REAL amnesty for illegals, gay marriage, liberal federal court judges, higher taxes, and capitulation in the war on terror if the libs take over one house, let alone both. What part of that don't you understand?
Giving the Dems a slim majority in the House would benefit the GOP on several fronts.
1. It wouldn't affect judicial confirmations (done by the Senate).
2. The GOP would get a wake-up call...particularly the RINOs who appropriate like Dems.
3. President Bush might find his veto pen and use it on runaway spending.
4. The Dems would overplay their hand in the House by talking impeachment, etc...giving the GOP something to run against from the right in '08.
5. As for controlling which house flips, the current makeup is such that it is much easier for the House to change hands than the Senate. There'd have to be a successful WMD attack on the U.S. for both to flip hands...and in such case, the GOP would deserve it for playing fast and loose with border security.
6. As for your other post, Bill Clinton's presidency is irrelevant to this topic. The Dems with a slim majority in the House is not the same thing as a corrupt Dem President.
