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. It’s 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.

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.

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.

Yup. The news media, even the few conservative news outlets, claim that the American people have no will to fight a war. Nonsense!! It's the fat govt. officials that are weak in the knees, not the people!! Fire all of them and make them re-compete for their jobs. Most of them won't be back and that's a good thing.
