Gutless RINOs are exactly what the party doesn't need.

It feels very personal to me. And I have felt a connection to President Bush like none other I've had in the past, including Ronald Reagan.

If you're not devastated about the GOP loss, then you're in luck. According to Dick Morris, it's going to be another 20 years or more before the GOP recovers control of the Congress.
Considering that the last time they lost, they were out for 40 years, I would not be too surprised.

I really hoped GW Bush would not follow in his father's footsteps, but he did. And a lot of congressional Republicans became just as inbred as the Dems had for 40+ years.
Term limits is the only answer. Whether imposed by law or by the voters.

I agre, I feel like crap and I hurt for my country and President. I am trying to not listen to news today and not listen to talk radio, trying to re-focus but it just is not working.... so I feel your pain BIG TIME, in Cheney's words.

If anyone tought the situation was tenuous in Iraq, just wait til the Democrats get involved and really screw it up. They'll set up a Taliban style government there if they can.

What aggravated me is that the pubby US State Rep running for re-election kept calling the demonRAT opposition a tax-spend person? And he was. Yet, when the pubby person was in the state house prior to winning the US State Rep position, the pubby voted to raise our taxes for the general budget and the transportation budget. It was like the "pot calling the kettle black." Hypocrisy!

Will you still feel that same connection to President Bush when he signs a democratic amnesty/open borders bill? Or when the next supreme court justice he nominates is a pro-choicer?

I agree, there was no President like Reagan. I feel very disconnected to George W. Bush---even more than I was to his father. His big spending and amnesty for illegal aliens is similar to what I would expect from a democrat.

I fell devestated, especially when we get Harriet Miers again before the Senate Judicary Committee for a SCOTUS nomination

It's hard to feel personal about elected officials who seem incapable of enunciating what I believe and what I stand for. If they understood what we hold dear and why -- who we are -- they would be able to express it themselves. Unless, of course, they really don't feel it. They don't seem to be one of us.
Fire begets fire. But this crop of Republicans seems unwilling daily to fight hard and say what has to be said. No passion. They leave us cold. What they do possess is loads of timidity and a pre-occupation with appearing "reasonable" -- Washington-like. Its our party but not our guys."
This sums up a lot of what I feel. Many of the Republicans in Congress - their actions indicate they do not hold the same principles I do.
To: Excuse_My_Bellicosity
I voted all Republican, as always, but I've never been less excited about doing it. I felt that I was simply choosing the lesser of two evils, rather than good over evil.

I feel the same way!... Tried helping... voted dutifully... but I have this felling of ambivalence. Not happy but not sad either. I was thrilled about the marriage amendments passing though :)

Gotta agree. My world just got even smaller with this election. It is now just me and my family and a few close friends, who will do whatever we have to keep ourselves safe, and continue to uphold our principals in spite of who is in congress, or the governors seat. We seldom go out anyway, prefer to see others we are aligned with, because we have to put up with being assaulted with ideals and scenes of everything from perversion to violence. This country has gone to hell in a handbasket. Our own personal worlds will not be affected, period.

I'm not devastated because our guys sold out. If they had governed as conservatives, they would have won. Instead they governed liberal lite. Not to insult drunken sailors -- but they never stopped spending our money.

The DEMS may have a majority, but they didn't take over every seat in the House and Senate.
Our Representation is still there, and considering the DEMS have a tendency to be concerned only about their private needs when making bills and voting, while the Republicans tend to work together, I don't think things will be that bad.
