Actually, I could have written this about my own attitude.
And to be frank, my feelings yesterday really surprised me.
"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"
This is an excellent point. And I think goes along with Rush has said about not carrying water, or making them successful. So many times, weren't some of the talk show hosts saying what we wished our elected leaders would say what they were saying?
I do feel very sad. First, Bush did his best, and Rumsfeld was great. The Democrats made the issue internal politics, instead of focusing on the enemy.
From now on, in my mind, I think of the Democratic Party as the Party of Treason. This is not the first time they have occupied this role. They pressured us to give up fighting the North Koreans, and we quite without achieving victory, helped by RINOs.
They they pressured us into abandoning our allies in Indo-China, with the loss of millions murdered in Cambodia, and thereby kept alive the Communist threat for another generation.
We now know that Ted Kennedy conferred with Soviet agents on ways to undermine Reagan. There is no way to work with someone who will do that, if your aim is to help America. All these supposedly moderate Democrats are in bed with Ted. That goes for Webb. Their conscience is dead. (Set that to rap, if you will.)
Now they are pushing to have us leave Iraq prematurely. I do not have any respect for the Democrats, nor really for anyone who supported them. There are some good people who voted mistakenly for the Democrats, but there are also nice alcoholics, and interesting psychotics. We are all people, but one does not need to have admiration for evil policies and their supporters.
If you don't think that we lost some good congresscritters, read this:

At first I was despondent,I guess it was the shock. However the more I think about it, the more I realize that htis is an opportunity to rediscover conservative values. While the repubs didn't raise taxes they certainly weren't shy about spending. And every dim that got elected outside of the NE and Westcoast ran as a conservative
What sucks is that because people like this Spero had hurt feelings, Santorun and Steele, among others, were brought down.
