Chavez would vote GOP no matter what. She's an insider thru and thru and a ditz.
She speaks for millions of other GOP faithful voters, who will all hold their noses and vote on November 7. Since Chavez is Hispanic, I would expect her to embrace the guest worker program. She is entitled to that opinion, but I will not vote for any party who allows illegal invaders to remain in the U.S.
I pretty much always have to "hold my nose and vote republican".
It is a shame but unless we want the dims in office gumming up the works like in '92, it is almost a necessity that we do just that.
If the wrong people get elected this mid-term and for the Presidential election in '08, the only choice would be to move to a nice RED state and help them secede. I hope that is not the only solution.
Whether you are angry or not, it really doesn't matter. The republican party will have no idea how you feel, other than you voted the incumbents back in.
Sorry, but I couldn't get past that sentence. That's just an incredibly stupid and false statement which makes anything she says after that completely meaningless.
Oh I am so tired of this sort of drivel.
Dems offer nothing constructive at all, they're relying on anti administration sentiment only while hiding any plans they've made.
If that isn't enough, consider this line up:
Speaker of the House: Nancy Pelosi
Chairman, Ways & Means Committee: Charles Rangel
Chairman, House Judiciary Committee: John Conyers
Chairman, House Appropriations Committee: David Obey
Chairman, Government Reform Committee: Henry Waxman
Chairman, Energy & Commerce Committee: John Dingell
The average age of these congressmen is 72. By contrast, Newt Gingrich was 51 and Dick Armey was 54 when they led the Republican revolution and takeover in 1994. Revolution favors the young.
Another number to keep in mind is 98--the above lineup's average voting-record rating, as scored by the liberal Americans for Democratic Action. Poor Dingell scores only 95. The Michigan congressman once served as a board member of the National Rifle Association. Obviously, this right-winger will have to go.

P.S. And, if Pelosi gets her way, disgraced judge Alcee Hastings to head the Intelligence Committee.
If her state fielded better candidates, she wouldn't have to "hold her nose". All these complainers are also the same one's who'd NEVER be involved in their local GOP.
---Democratic control of Congress also worries me when it comes to the economy. Democrats always want to raise taxes in order to pay for social programs, transferring money out of the hands of ordinary people and turning it over to bureaucrats.---
They want to tax the majority in order to transfer money to what they see as their core constituency, minorities, single mothers, and urban plantation masters.
Hold your nose and vote Republican.
Me, too, Linda. That's what I did yesterday.
Wouldn't it nice someday if Republicans would hold their noss and vote libertarian? Freedom could use the break.
Hold whatever you must but punch those buttons.
But no...it's only the conservatives who are told to shut up and suck it up.
To hell with that noise. RINOs are no better than the Dhimmicrats. And between you and me, I'd rather have the enemy in front of me than behind me in my own ranks. We conservatives have got enough knives in our backs already.
This article is full of things that should be said, but not necessarily in a public forum. Just like McCain, she uses this tactic as a way to gain credibility with the MSM. Republicans trashing their party is always a big hit and she knows it. I'm glad she will vote for the best choice, but I'm disappointed she is stepping on the heads of others to elevate herself.
Needed to be said again... only louder this time, for the benefit of all the slow children sitting in the back row.
The problem with this common complaint on the part of some conservatives is that it fails to accept that most of the electorate likes it when federal spending comes back to their state, city, or district. That goes for democrat and republican voters. This is especially so at an individual level.
I know a fairly conservative guy, a former nyc cop. He has a retarded son and was used to getting some help from the Feds for the extra care his son needed. He was very happy when the GOP won in 1994 for most of the reasons you hear. He was happy that welfare and social programs were going to be cut. The smile was wiped off his face when it became clear that some programs he benefited from might be on the chopping block, too.
In other words, his welfare was fine and everybody else's had to go. We can be critical of the mindset and point out the obvious problems with it, but it's very real and very common, and not uncommon among conservatives.
Spending is a problem because the electorate, when you get down to it, likes getting it and likes complaining about it.
I of course can not vote in these elections, but this article seem very reasonable to me.
I mean, I supported the invasion, but weather you did or not, the absolutely worst thing that could happen is if the country was left in the hands of the warring factions wanting to control it. But on the other hand, if they are made to work together through democratic process, and thus more reasonable voices within each group gets to power, that will have rippling effects through all the muslim world, effects that are neccasery to blunt the power of the islamist militants that have declared war against the West.
The Democrats seem to me to be worse than our socialistic parties, wich is contrary to many claims that both parties in the US are essentially right winged in comparison to our parties. I mean when it comes to taxation and such things, they talk just like socialists.
And about the spending, ok, the US seems to have spent like Mikael Jackson on a shopping spree, but they have also managed to half the budget deficit. Just by lowering taxes, they have experienced the same as we did, lower taxes mean more income. The Democrats seem to want to get taxes higher just for principles sake, and refuse to look this in the eye and accept it.
I would say that a guest workers program would help you get control over your immigration, but other thing is also how hard it is f.e. Europeans that come to the US to study to stay longer and eventually emigrate. I would think you would need to open up that process a little bit, people will try to escape the socialistic hell holes in Europe for many years to come now, and the US would gain from opening up for them.
