I don't think they're overreaching at all, but I still think we hold both houses of Congress.

I think you are smoking something. We will lose the House and we may lose them both.

Neither of you know.....

And that's the real problem. Conservative republicans know where they stand. Had republicans not compromised away every conservative principle they have, we would be sure about the choice the people would make next month.

Since republicans repudiated conservatism (and even try to blame conservatives for their present demise) they are now on the receiving end of a donkey show.

There is only one month for republicans to "go conservative"

With Bush running his mouth about not even trying to deport illegal aliens this weekend, we can't use that.

Foley kinda makes social issues a bit of a stretch right now

The last 6 years of unrestrained government growth makes the constitutionalist angle tough to sell

Fiscally? well, there are always examples of stupid government spending to trot out. Not gonna be too convincing.

Tough on terror? Ok, maybe, but still North Korea nukes and looming Iranian nukes gives people pause.

Republicans, by not following conservative principles have painted themselves into a corner.

What is left is a contest of spending, and one in which we see which party can be more disingenuous than the other.

When politicians are left to do what politicians do best, spend and lie, It's anybody's ballgame.

If democrats win, it's the GOP that gets the blame, not conservatives.

The Democrat "Hail Mary" pass is going to be intercepted...
