So that means you are staying home and not voting due to the editorial by Armey?

I hate pre-mortems. If these articles are required, write them after the election.

The problem isn't in the accomplishments, it's in the marketing. GOP marketing has stunk for the last year to year and a half.

"Dick Armey" sounds like a gay militia.

From the article:

"The likely Republican losses in this week's elections will not constitute a repudiation of the conservative legacy that drove the Reagan presidency and created the Contract With America. To the contrary, it would represent a rejection of big government conservatism"

I don't believe President Reagan would have written such an article on the eve of an election...

"Nice to disenfranchise the voters so they stay home on tuesday...thanks...DICK."

I agree with you BUT he is right to some extent. I only wish he had kept his BIG mouth SHUT until AFTER the election.

It's irritating to me to see how many Republicans from the House Freshman Class of '94 went over to the Dark Side. They sure pulled a fast one on America.

Uh, well, we've now fully engaged in a little thing we call the War on Terror. That has taken a few billion if I remember right. Maybe you too think we've gone too far. Nuff said.

Republican lawmakers forgot the party's principles, became enamored with power and position, and began putting politics over policy.

The fact of the matter is, no honest person would bother with running for office, so by definition, they are all scoundrels... on both sides. There are no honest and principled options... it's simply too easy for them to lie to everyone and redistribute wealth to keep power.

They should all be ashamed... but I'm still voting republican.

The pill bill, a huge farm subside, tonnes of earmarks. There is a lot of fat that has nothing to do with the war that can be cut.

Yea Dick when I heard from your mouth that J Kerry just botched a joke, I knew what was in your mind.

Midterms throughout history show great gains for the out of power party. How about all you big mouths just letting the voters out here have the privilege of voting before results are declared? Many of us and our families fought and died for this privilege.
