Yeah, but we sure taught those Republicans a lesson by staying home last Tuesday!

Can you imagine what it is like to see his mug on tv? The guy LOOOOOOOOOOVES press conferences which he give in his whiney voice. His wife, the unlovely Iris Weinshal, is the head of the Department of Transportation thanks to Rudy Giuliani, who would not give jobs to Republicans. She is inept and incompetent.

[dmartin]

We tried the honey approach rather than the vinegar approach, and it worked.

Appalling. He all but admits to duping the voters and probably believes they are too stupid to notice.

Ah yes, the beauty of liberalism. And just another reminder that Rudy is not the man for the White House.

[NautiNurse]

Chuck is drunk with power.

A spot-on description. Folks like that have a propensity to topple flat onto their faces. Pass the popcorn, please.

[juliej]

and there is the ex-wife, and the support for partial birth abortion and the fact that he did nothing to build up the GOP in New York. The list is endless.

"No judge who doesn't believe wholeheartedly in the leftist agenda will ever get out of committe"
Exactly, Look for Harriet Miers to go up to SCOTUS. Goodbye constitutional jurists for the courts.

[RamingtonStall]

Frist and his fellow incompetent traitors had their chance to take the issue to the mat and settle it once and for all via "the nuclear option" or "the Constitutional option", as you prefer, let the Dems stamp their little feet, declare them Out Of Order, and make it official that delaying tactics and refusing to vote was not an option, and they refused to do it.

So we're all screwed.

Not necessarily. The Supreme Court Justices that are most likely to "Check out" during the next 2 years are Liberals. President Bush can appoint the most conservative candidate and let the position stay unfilled. The Dem's will eventually realize that Dubya does not need to replace the Lib at all since the mere absence of 1 or 2 or 3 Lib Justices is a good thing. If there are two of the Libs checking out, the vote would simply be a conservative majority of 4 or 5 Justices. We can wait as long as the Dems want to wait.

Then the Conservatives need to focus on getting the GOP to be a conservative Party again so that we can support the GOP for President in the 2008 elections.

If the Dems get the presidency, we Conservatives can then be happy that the Frists and McCains and DeWines bolcked the Nuclear Option since we can block any Lib appointments in the future.

Life is Good, Good, Good!

Yes, it was a good thing we had a 55 to 45 majority during the Clinton years. We were able to use our majority muscle to stop left-wing ACLUer ideologues like Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Democrats controlled the Senate in '94, but nevermind.

[bornacatholic]

I don't like Schumer but at LEAST he is willing to FIGHT for what he believes in. I fully expect the girlie-men in the Pub Party to approve every Judge any dem president sends to them

"I am sick at heart and waking up to news with Pelosi, Murtha, Shumer and on and on about makes me want to stay in bed!"

Get outta that bed LY. Aged hippies are not in charge..at least not yet.

The same W is still in charge for the next 2 years.

If you wake up Nov 8th and The Beast is in charge, then you can stay in bed.

[evad]

". To this day, I do not know what a "moderate" is!!

That easy Nancee.

A moderate is someone who has no convictions. Their actions depend on which way the wind is blowing at any particular time.

They like to define themselves as openminded, and that's the problem. They opened their minds and all their thinking brains fell out.

[melancholy]

You are wrong.

I wish I were. You, sir, are too optimistic to face reality. You picked only the Senate, fine with me.

We have to do is to get rid of the following rinos, Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, Warner, Lamar Alexander, Libby Dole, Smith from Oregon, that bridge to nowhere Stevens guy, Chuck Hagel, and Sununu, Domenici and McConnell in the republican primaries, then we need to hold all 21 of our seats.

Here is where you miss my point: Can we elect Conservative Republicans in Maine or Oregon? A blue dog Dem, maybe, but C. Repub, NO! Some other states are not bright red anymore and have a lot of Hispanics who are mad about the immigration issue, can you say New Mexico? J.D. Hayworth's loss, rings a bell???

Then we need to win 11 out of the 12 democrat seats (Arkansas: Pryor (D) Delaware: Biden (D) Illinois: Durbin (D) Iowa: Harkin (D) Louisiana: Landrieu (D) Massachusetts: Kerry (D) Michigan: Levin (D) Montana: Baucus (D) New Jersey: Lautenberg (D) Rhode Island: Reed (D) South Dakota: Johnson (D) West Virginia: Rockefeller (D)

Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island?????

Picking Conservative Republican "seats" in any of the above states? The only seats the voters in these states are willing to give Conservative Republicans are electric chairs! LOL

I haven't even brought up the other states which are purple at best. Iowa rings a bell?

I won't hide my head in the sand when faced with reality.

Nancee, you may be interested in the '08 strategy.

[Nancee]

LOL LOL, "evad"!!

The people I enjoy the most on this forum, are the ones with the greatest senses of humor!!

I really do get it. How could I not with a Senator named Specter? Here's the best part of your message:

"They like to define themselves as openminded, and that's the problem. They opened their minds and all their thinking brains fell out."

AMEN!!!

They are more power hungry than anything else!!

That is a good one...and accurate.

Your coments about Conservative Blue Dogs is an interesting one and I'll reserve judgment on that one until I've had a chance to observe how this new crop of Dogs actually hunt.

If they turn out to be Lap Dogs, then your point is moot.
If they turn out to be real Blue Dogs..well then... whole different ball game.

[Westbrook]

What a giddy little man.

[evad]

heh..if you like humor then you'll appreciate this.

SPECTER is actually SPECTRE, head of this organization:
SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion.

Here he is without his mask:

[Nancee]

LOL!!! :-)

You think so, huh???? He is never without one of his masks.

The really sad thing however, it the loss of Rick Santorum; makes me crazy!

Thanks for helping me to laugh! I can only look at that picture once!

Nancee

[melancholy]

You're right on the money.

After '06 election, the word "Conservative" doesn't not only mean "Republican".

I'm afraid it's a perception of being Conservative more than a real Conservative as we know it. The MSM will be bestowing the title of "Conservative" on dims just to blur the line. It ain't gonna be easy for us to "distinguish" between the two because of the "limited" exposure of the alternative media.

It will take some doing to show that whoever turns to be a Lap Dog not a Blue Dog, IS NOT Conservative. There is a lot of ignorance out there plus, giving "Conservative Dem" voters something to hang their hats on.

A pretty good strategy for the Dim-witted to come up with, I might add.

The Blue Dogs will NOT be able to stand up to the far-left, Soros/MoveOn smears or will be dislodged as traitors to the cause.

We will see!

Nancee,

You started me on this thread and I'm returning the favor. More '08 FYI

[CommerceComet]

>>Best bet would be a senator like Jeff Sessions.

I would nominate former Montana Governor Mark Racicot if the opening comes in the next few months. He would be hard to paint as a hard-line right-winger but he is conservative enough to be an improvement over either Ginsburg or Stevens. The Democrats might realize that it could be in their best interest to keep Racicot from returning to Montana and taking Max Baucus' Senate seat.
