I will never vote Dim. But perhaps a GOP loss in one of the two houses may be a silver lining for '08.

LIke the last time we lonst the house, it took 40 years to get it back.

Losing is LOSING, it's is beyond ludicrous to propose losing as a winning strategy.

There's no silver lining in losing to libs and if it happens much of the gains made will be lost.

I'm tempted to equate a fruitbat to a dingbat here, but that would be kind.

You have to be stark raving insane to believe that a loss is EVER a good idea with a "silver" lining.

Nope.

With control goes pork and influence, which is worth a lot for the purpose of keeping control, much as we may wish it isn't so. If the GOP loses control of Congress in particular, expect them to stay out for at least 8-10 years.

The silver lining in a 'few' GOP losses in '06 will be Speaker Pelosi. And its not enough silver to kill a vampire like her. If we are going to lose anybody, lets lose them because they lost to a better candidate or a better campaign and not just because we were pissed off and wanted to send a message by sending another democrat to Washington. A democrat here and a democrat there and we lose the tax cuts and the war in Iraq.

Not if the Dims control the house enough to rewrite the Constitution in that amount of time. Imagine a new law "The FReeper Registration Act" or perhaps "Elimination of the Electoral College Act"...

Anyone believe for a second the RINOs wouldn't side with a "Constitutionally Questionable" law or that the President wouldn't sign it?

I very much disagree. We canNOT afford it at this crucial time in this crucial era--as outlined in this post below.
