I've worked like heck to help him get elected. You're better off because he's there, too. You need to be thankful we have people like Steve King in congress and you need to be working to get him as much help as possible.
I couldn't agree with you more about your goals. I want the exact same thing. For now, I know of no other way than through the ballot box.
Today's modern-day Democrats seem to have the mentality of children. They cannot see the long-term consequences of actions. Agreed, there are too many Republicans like them but every R in a legislature or congress keeps an R in a committee chair. We're far better off with RINOs in elected positions that Democrats. I don't like RINOs any better than you but this is the imperfect world in which we live. In the mean time, I guess there are times in which I will just have to hold my nose and vote for a RINO in a general election than vote for a Democrat. I will NEVER vote for a Democrat.
One more thing I don't understand. If "the base" is mad at Bush over immigration, why punish the one body in government that's on their side and doing their will? The pubbies in the house have it right on immigration, why would "the base" throw them out? Now, the senate is another story...
