I think the American public needs to see a Speaker Pelosi and Committee Chairs Conyers and Waxman. I think it would definitely be a boon to conservatives in 2008.

This is dangerous thinking. Minority power in Washington is no power at all. Add to that the MSM's efforts to spin the Dimms disaster into a positive, and Republicans could be facing a long time in the political wilderness. The last time Republicans were a minority in Congress it lasted forty years.

Never give away political power. Not just becaue you never know if or when you'll get it back, but you may not be able to undo the damage to the courts, economy, military and society.

That's right.

The last time the Democrats had control of the House (from 1954-1994) they gave themselves all kinds of perks and franking privileges designed to keep them in power. It kept them in power for 40 years.

The Republicans couldn't even bring up bill for a vote without their consent, their staff was a third of what the Democrats had.

If they get the House back, the first thing they'll do is change the House rules so that a Republican will never be heard again. They won't make the same mistake twice. They'll try to guarantee that they never lose power again.
