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.

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.
