You don't see the reality in front of your eyes.
What have the Republicans done to further Conservative causes?
How much have they shrunk the federal government and it's reach?
How many powers have been handed back to the sovriegn states and local community governments?
What impending problems have they solved?
What have they done to stop Judicial Activism?
The best thing for us is gridlock in congress these days. Everytime they pass legislation it robs our freedom, our bank accounts and our future.
Who is your congressman? If he's a pubbie, why specifically are you voting against him/her? Not something Bush did, or some generic "republicans" did, but him/her specifically?
I think there's a lot of angst about "republicans", but when it gets broken down to individual congressmen, the angst melts away.
There is NO data that supports the pubbies losing 30 seats on a seat-by-seat basis.
One more Supreme Court appointment for this President, and the egregious SCOTUS decisions will essentially stop. The originalists will be able to establish their jurisprudence.
We're hanging by a thread here. Keep electing Republicans. They've got to govern better to maintain control. For that, keep the pressure on, but don't let Democrats get elected.

The vitally important task of keeping the Dem/Socialists from taking away even more of your rights as Gore/Kerry most certainly would have.
Nobody with any sense would think handing it over to the liberals would advance the conservative agenda. We have at least two SCOTUS picks in the near future and that alone is worth fighting for.
