If the democrats loose in 2006 then they will move even further left into the moveon.org wing of lunacy.
It will be an electoral defeat that will essentially end them as a national political party.
THAT is very much worth it.

If that includes reversing the exportation of American industrial jobs, then it might be a good thing.

Outdriving writes, "The last hope of our country, and of Western civilization, is in accepting a possible tactical loss while keeping our eyes on a strategic victory."
On a gut-level, I agree.
However, we have tried that before and it didn't work. Sitting out or voting for Perot in 92 and 96 did nothing but give eight years in the White House to Bill. Hillary and the FBI files derailed Newt's '94 win.
Retreat is not an option, in my opinion, because as you note, the time is short.
Patton said we should attack and that we shouldn't take the same ground twice. Undoing what the dems destroy in two years will take a lot longer than the two years of havoc they will reek.
To: Memphis Moe
Thanks for your reasoned reply.
Keep in mind, this is a mid-term election. I am not advocating handing the keys to the White House to the Dems. That battle belongs to 2008.
Worst case scenario is that the Dems grab the Senate and gain some in the House. Busheron is still there to veto any excess beyond immigration insanity. Given a mid term Rep. loss he will be under much more pressure than today not to advance his "North American Union" treason. Lame Duck to the max. Then the 2008 Presidential races will be forced to address the immigration crisis and hopefully the Globalist conspiracy driving it. This is the strategic victory.
Of course, the MSM will try to spin this as a referendum on the Iraq war. This will enjoy some success because many are waking up from the multiculturist fantasy, myself included, that democracy is a viable option for less developed cultures. But that's not what the base is really upset about. We realize we're committed now, and retreat is not an option lacking a viable exit plan.
One thing Bush has demonstrated, in no uncertain terms, is that the power of the presidency has far outgrown the kind of Congressional oversight vital to our republic. This is primarily the fault of Congress, who have gleefully handed this power over to avoid accountability. I support the President in his use of this power to conduct the war on terror. On the other hand, I am distressed that he has used the same power to ignore his responsibility to protect our borders and to advance his globalist agenda without democratic debate.
This reality of presidential power is why it is vital for us to win the battle for the Republican Party now, in the mid-term, so we can avoid a McCain vs Hillary type disaster in 2008.

"Just to play devil's advocate, what would REALLY happen if the Democrats won back the House in 2006?"
It would mean the Republicans would never lose control of Congress again for 50 years starting in 2008... as long as they didn't move left.

You're not paying attention to how Congress works. For two instances, Impeachment bills and spending bills start in the House.
The moonbat Left would love to spend 2 years on Impeaching Bush. And they could cut off all spending for Iraq, forcing us to leave in disgrace. That's how we left Viet Nam.
Vetos wouldn't stop either action.
To: speekinout
I'm very aware of both but it could cause political hell to pay for the Democrats if they tried either one, particularly now that the whole Plamegate thing has been exposed as an enormous lie.

To: Tall_Texan
So they pay a bit in 2008 - meantime, we would have gone through 2 years of impeachment, and much worse, we would have turned Iraq over to terrorists. Not to mention confirmed for the world that the US can't be trusted.
There's no snit worth that, IMO.
To: Responsibility2nd
I doubt things would improve if Repbulicans lost some seats. A better question. What makes you think they will improve if we return all of them?

A massive, huge, humongous electoral turnout will be required to overcome the massive level of fraudulent voting that the DimRats will perpetrate this fall, begining with their registration drive among illegal immigrants during the Pro Illegal Immgration rallies of a few months ago. They have honed unlawful voting to the level of an art form.

Forgive me, but you are either a troll or a fool or both. If the Dems win the House we will see nothing but investigations over the Bush administration policies about this, that or some other thing, possible impeachment proceedings, the erosion of morale in the Armed Forces, and a definite boost for all the Islamic thugs on the globe who want to kill me and mine. Thanx, but no thanx. Go peddle your tall_texan nonsense on moveon or some other Soro@ss website.

No, but tall_texan will have the secure knowledge that he "kept his principles", even as the vicious Democrats will now be empowered to rob him of them. And I thot doltism was strictly a disease of the left.

So what if we do? The MSM and the Repub. leadership alike will ignore the immigration angle and present this as a referendum on Iraq. Just like now.
Don't you understand that the Republican leadership is in bed with the MSM and the Demorats in favor of the destruction of the USA as a sovereign nation, for different reasons?
