Lame.
I suppose you are in the Bush Clan? That's no excuse. I note your claims to Christianity. Act like it.
Standard operating procedure for every poll taken by the Democrat house organ Minneapolis Star Tribune, whose capacity for self-delusion exceeds even that of the New York Times.
No, we can expect that conservative judges will NOT legislate. Overturning previous rulings, such as Roe vs Wade, would not be a legislative act by the court. I hope I live long enough to see that happen.
James Sensenbrenner to name one. I jope someday you find a country you like.
Neither of which rolls back anything previous democrat Congresses have legislated.
Yep, but the only way to do that without at the same time putting a bunch of even worse Democrats in is to do it during the primaries, not the general election.
That said, appointment of federal judges and to some degree national security are still major differences between the parties. I say "to some degree", because if we are really fighting a war on terror, or anything else, our military budget should be more than 4% of GDP, which is only a few tenths of a percent higher than it was at the low point during the Bent One's administration. And in some ways things are actually worse now, since a much higher fraction is going to current operations in the war zones (beans, bullets and salaries of activated reservists and in theater contractors), rather than training, R&D, procurement, or even long term maintenance of equipment.
You make a good point. Congress has more than its share of scumbags - on both sides of the aisle.
"I think conservatives let our elected Republican officials off too easy these past years by tolerating an excessive growth of government that itself was symptomatic that there was a problem."
Hey, Star, what recourse do we have besides calling to complain, or contributing to CFG instead of the RNC? WHen those don't work, the only recourse left is to vote the folks who tolerated that excessive growth of government out.
I will be voting third party in races where RINOS and Rats are the only choices. Where I trust the GOP candidate to vote as a conservative American first and not a party hack Republican first, they will have my vote.
We can vote them out in primaries which was done wonderfully in Pa.
Agreed. And yet some Pennsylvanians (and others) are in denial about the success of this strategy.

The weaker the dino media gets, the more exposed the special interests will be and our pols will start having to find themselves more responsive to their true constituents.
The problem isn't just with the RINO's. The entire Congress voted to keep a $250 MILLION bridge to nowhere in Alaska. The government has grown and grown under the GOP just as it did under the Democrats.
I agree. Bush has more of a chance to get LOST and instant citizenship for illegals with a 'Rat Congress than with a Republican one.
And even worse, the pollsters are telling us that our choices for next president with be the Hildebeast and McCainiac.
I would rather move to Mexico than vote for either one.
And who the hell are you? Some sort of freaking robot without the ability to see that your party is supporting less and less of what they should?
Wake up and smell the stench of professional politicians who care only about buying your vote with your money to keep their fat asses in power for another 2 or 6 years.
The GOP only responds when they get either large sums of money to buy them or 10,000,000 angry phone calls. And then it is barely lip service that you get.
Great response! Blackbird.
There. Fixed it.
In france extrem right wing often plays the game of the left and help socialists to get and keep the power.
May be some dem trolls here could find some interests in emphasizing cnservatives' disappointments toward GOP seen as a whole....
We call that the worst policy which lies on a misunderstanding about the political field.
A dems victory should mean a victory of the friends of france and a government ruled by UN...
