Ping.
...a loss, according to those who really want a "Pelosi and a Kos-style legislative agenda." They're not really as concerned with the immigration issue as they say they are. They're socialist "gradualists" (incrementalists). They know that they'll get more of what they want, if our Republican Party quits. ...ever notice how negative feminists are? ...or the fact that they don't offer feasible solutions?
Putting Democrats in power is insanity, and this requires no explanation.
Putting traitors in power is treason.
The "teach Republicans a lesson" idea is immature and dangerous.
Watching the polls and moving to the center to try and satisfy everyone does not work. One only needs to look at the map of red states from the last election to understand. This year I will only vote for incumbents that voted their Republican values.
Apparently, the best way for conservatives to affect politics is to keep voting for big-spending Republicans who favor illegal immigration.
Here's what the head guy has to say about impeaching our President.

If you want to impeach Bush, go join the trolls at DU. Keep it OFF FR.

Think of the United States' national security and our troops under a RAT Commander in Chief and a majority RAT-infested Congress... {{{shudder}}}
Even more recently than 1994. Justice Harriet Myers, anyone? When conservatives stick to their guns, they win.

You said it well and succinctly. That is really the bottom line.
I am marking your post and will refer others to it.
Thats crazy. You know impeachment is serious business. I don't when people got it into their head this is some way to get rid of any President they didnt like. I really have a hard time seeing how Bush can be Impeached and convicted since he hasnt committed a CRIME.
If you represent the conservatives that want to take power in the Republican party , I better get ready to move to Australia.

AMEN, SaxxonWoods!
Any your point is well taken. JUDGES are still a very, very, important part of any administration.
I got you and you're correct. I knew you weren't inferring it would be better for the libs to win. :-)
'When Republicans run as conservatives, they win.'
I should only modify this comment to the extent of substituting the word 'vote' for the word 'run'.
Absent their voting in a conservative manner, what use are they? There will be civil war in this nation (and, no, I don't like the idea at all) before I'm dead, but it simply must be as well to get it over with as quickly as possible. Let the Marxists back into power, the 'Rats and an unfortunately large proportion of 'Pubbies are two a pair.
It will be interesting (betting pools, anyone?) to see exactly which event ignites civil violence, and ultimately civil war.
And no one here has any idea how MUCH I hate saying that.
Your only choice is the same as always, to choose the most conservative candidate on offer, and keep fighting, keep complaining, keep exposing, keep fighting.
We live in a 50-50 country, and its never going to be easy. We can never relax, we have to fight every day. We'll always have politicians looking for the easy way out, and its only by throwing a fit periodically that we make sure that the easy way out is the principled way out, because its the only way to keep us from embarrassing them in front of their friends.
We don't win by letting the other side win, we win by getting the best deal we can get at each step of the way, and then going back for more, at each step of the way. Take what you can get, then turn right around and demand more.
But don't imagine that a Democratic Congress is somehow good for conservatism. Its tough enough to get a majority now when so many Repubs are weak sisters; it takes a supermajority because you have to outvote the Dems and the weak sisters. It takes a supermajority to even get a bare majority. Electing more Democrats doesn't get you any closer to your supermajority.
