I have not heard how Vern Buchanan is doing in the race with the totally made over and botoxed to the hilt Christine Jennings. This should have been an easy CD13 Pick up,but the guy that ran against Buchanan ran the most vicious Ads I have ever seen in all my Political ad watching years. I believe the voters in that district chose Buchanan out of a distaste for those horrible ads. I do not think that Vern should have even run because he is so tainted by past Financial troubles,but Jennings ran those same dirty ads which Conservatives get so upset with. In my area we are stuck with Tampa Bay News because of Direct TV local Channels. I would much rather have Fort Myers,but that is not a choice we have. I believe that the fight for power between Republicans was another reason that the Republicans lost power,and this was the fault of State Leaders more than anything else. I include Jeb and the State Party Chairman Carol Jean Jordan in this mess.

That has been a huge question that needs answering--hopefully that's why Tony Snow is there we shall see.

Democrats freemedia behaved like Pakistan's Madrassas indoctrinating bogus lies on the people 24 hours a day.

That's a keeper.

Great post, Anita.  What MNJ post are you referring to?  Do  you remember the thread?

I wonder how long it's going to take for McCain to realize just how disliked he is with the base?

He should already have known, as one of the bloggers working for him. His constant carping on the interrogation played a major role in the result, imo as the media exploited to it's maximum damage.

Goes without saying. I don't read the paper, nor watch TV News. Exceptions are the Sunday shows, and the hilarious weekend Chris Mathews liberal gabfest. We must put them out of business.

Newspapers are dying, with the Alphabet nets not too far behind. Next, let's turn away from all the lefty cable news shows.

It would also help if we'd quit damning our side when we disagree with one issue or another. Last week many people got down on Brit Hume because they believed he had abandoned us. Not so. I presume Hume was looking at the numbers and realized we were in trouble.

I could say the same for all the mostly or usually conservative pundits. We have to get over our knee jerk reactions to their opinions.

You're probably right. The man certainly does not listen to us so maybe a primary loss will help him understand.

Guess we disagree. Limbaugh, Hannity, and Ingraham were trying to get some accountability from Republicans. Frankly, the main reason I voted straight republican this year was judges...if Miers' nomination had gone through, I wouldn't even had that to motivate me.

GWB has been a tremendous FAILURE as a leader during the last 2 years.

On Iraq, he has failed to articulate a vision and failed to take charge. He has repeatedly said he'll give the Generals in the field whatever they ask for, and let them decide what troop levels are need. While the micromanaging of targets was an LBJ failure, the opposite is also a failure. The Commander-in-Chief is responsible for making decisions - not the SECDEF or the military.

Part of the disillusionment of independents was the feeling our Iraq policy was on autopilot to nowhere. GWB needs to be actively leading the effort, not just saying, "Stay the Course". Not when most folks don't know what the course is - as demonstrated by the ability of democrats to claim GWB's policy (phased withdrawal as Iraqi forces get up to speed) as their own. Every time a democrat stood up and 'suggested' that, Tony Snow and the local Republicans should have publicly thanked the democrat for supporting the President's plan!

Last summer, GWB should have made some personnel changes (possibly including Rumsfeld) and publicly expressed his unhappiness with the state of progress in Iraq. That would have been leadership.

He also should have fought the republicans in Congress, when needed. When the Speaker supported Jefferson against the FBI, GWB needed to jump in his chili with both boots. When Congress passed spending bills that were out of control, GWB should have vetoed them. He should have publicly called for reforms in earmarks, and made it clear he would veto bills that were riddled with them. Republicans came to be associated with big spending (by a 60/40 margin, voters felt republicans were bigger spenders than democrats). GWB COULD have changed that - although it is hard to do when he pushed for massive spending increases!

He also has shown a deaf ear. His nomination of Miers was just embarrassing, and his suggestion that the opposition to her was based on sexism obscene! He could have pushed for comprehensive immigration reform by insisting on securing the borders first, with the promise that, once secure, he would push for guest workers and possibly even amnesty. Instead, he wanted the whole enchilada, and suggested opposition was based on racism.

Two years ago, I was a strong Bush supporter - in spite of his prescription give-away, signing CFR and enlarging the Ed Department. And on his worst day, he is still 10 times better than JF Kerry.

But as a leader? He's failed.

agreed. The media and the Democrats used every Republican dissension as somehow being proof they were right. At the same time, they claimed Republicans were following President Bush in lockstep.

Thanks, Phsstpok. I remember reading MNJ's post about some not satisfied with getting 70% from Prez & losing 100% on more than one thread on FR.

I'm watching Reliable Sources and laughing my head off. In a discussion of media fairness, the guests are Martha Raddatz (ABC), Gloria Borger(?), and Candee Crowley. What a joke, not a single conservative voice in this segment on the media bias. So much for "Reliable" sources. I refuse to watch Fat Dim's show, it makes me puke just thinking he is still on the air!

McCain is beginning to sound more and more like one of his old buddies-- little Tommy Dashhole.

While McCain doesn't have to sit on four telephone books to reach Timmy's height he does talk in that low, slow, soft condescending voice that says I really know more than all you guys but I am being nice on mtp--errr.. uhh.. and ohh, yeah I was deeply saddened about our losses last week.

Right john right!!@

If anyone is to be blamed, it 's those so-called-conservatives who readily threw stones at the President & the party to promote their books & the Madrassa Media.

Blame it on whoever you wish.

We, the majority of the House, Senate, and the Whitehouse never had it so good and Lord knows when we will again. Talk about squandered opportunities!

As for CFR, "W" dropped the ball BIG TIME!
President Bush should have NEVER signed the bill. As leader, he should have ripped that CFR bill in two. Then he should have told McCain and Feingold to shove it up their ass.
To sign a bill in anticipation of a Supreme Court over-ruling is lacking in leadership.

So go ahead and blame the media and the political pundits peddling their wares.
As for me, I'll place the blame where it belongs. The majority party with a minority mindset.

Flame away all you wish....
