Amen, Rabbi.
we didn't lose big, or as big as one might losde in an off-year election... we are a couple seats from the senate and fewer than the normal number of seats from the house ... at least when we run candidates, lincoln chafee need not be one of them as well as other assorted phony conservatives... hard work? yeah, sure, why not? but at least maybe we can get in who we need trather than settling for pro-aborts and weak-kneed momma boys
If Dick Morris told me the sun would rise in the east, I'd look for at least two supporting opinions to back him up.
I've been physically sick for three days. It's not so much that we lost, it's how huge the loss was.
Mr. President, Our party is wounded, we implore you now to try to bring us home to our conservative values.
Thank you.
Excellent piece.
Well said.
That's how I feel too. Our guys need to know that the liberal establishment will NEVER accept them -- and the MSM will only like them if they're willing to trash a fellow republican ... and after the trashing stops, they'll dump 'em like a hot potato... I think we lost respect for our guys... watching them grovel for print space or face time on some liberal network... Shameful.
Actually, I could have written this about my own attitude.
And to be frank, my feelings yesterday really surprised me.
That's exactly what my goobernor did -- called the opponent a tax and spend liberal after passing nay, ramming through the biggest tax increase in Texas history in a time of surplus. He won. With 39%.
It will be at least 6 years, before we can try to take back the "most vulnerable" senate seats we lost this time. I dont know what 2008 senate seats are weak for the Dems in 08 yet, if there are any.
Republicans were inept, but ineptitude isn't evil.
However, liberalism is... which is why America lost on Tuesday. Look at it this way... the sum total of evil trumps the sum total of ineptitude, which in turn trumps the sum total of honor. We as a country are in for a long haul.
Because the author can make all kinds of money off of this? Hope those 30 pieces of silver are worth the blood of the troops.
The article is almost total BS. Hardly surprising considering its publisher.
Thanks! That post does give me hope!
I feel sort of objective about it. Like watching history. This is the way it's going to be and I can't do a thing about it at the moment. Sure hope something comes along to give me some hope. Hope is a commodity in short supply right now.
Wow! He really gets it.
It has something to do with what part of the country you come from, though. The closer you are to Texas (physically and spiritually) the closer you probably feel to the President. Ditto for some of the other leaders.
Politics right now has a lot to do with who you are, what you do, and where you live, and less to do with abstract principles than it once did.
So Republicans who you live in deep Blue states, even if they're pretty conservative, just don't get as enthusiastic in the current environment.
Doubtless, things will change in the future, but the rabbi has definitely caught something of the current mood.
Nope. The end, when it comes, will be mercifully quick.
About the only thing the survivors would notice is that "Jericho" will have moved from "television drama" to "reality show."
Ludicrous in problem description and solution.
