I thought the same thing in 1976. Reagan, who I supported, lost the primary to Gerald Ford. I was so anti-Ford I welcomed Jimmy Carter as president. I though after four years of Carter, America would vote en masse for Reagan. And I was right, because that's what happened.

But I was also very wrong, and very selfish. Carter hurt America very badly. His idiocy is still with us today in the form of the anti-American Looney Left and Political Correctness. He gave rise to Islamic Fascism which has killed thousands and is still with us today, especially in Mad-Mullah-controlled Iran which are hours from a nuclear weapon.

It could have been different. We could have stuck with Ford that year and followed up with Ronald W. Reagan. The nation has been on a conservative trend for 40 years now. There is no need to teach the America voters a harsh lesson. And most importantly, President Bush does not need the legacy of impeachment for standing up to the Islamic Fascists and trying to keep this nation safe.

The downside of your desire to let the Dems have control for 2 years in order to re-consolidate conservative gains is rife with danger as well. Who can say if control will go back to the Republicans, or that they'll even learn the lesson you intend on teaching. They might decide there is more votes in a moderate stance. If the Dems go hard Left, the Republicans might see a void in the soft middle. Also, your plan gives a huge moral lift to the drive by media who is playing a very skilled game against all things conservative.

It sounds to me like jaime1959 has been listening the Neal Boortz, he's been spouting this line to his listeners for weeks now.

Isn't Boortz one of Hannity's close buddies?
