And they've compounded the problem by making what appears to be an Hispanic affirmative action pick for the new boss of the Republican National Committee (Sen. Mel "Guest Worker" Martinez), and by bringing world-class pork-barreler Trent Lott back into the leadership ranks of the United States Senate, and by keeping the same top two leaders in the House (Rep. John Boehner and Rep. Roy Blunt) who oversaw the November 7th debacle which gave the nation "Speaker" Pelosi.News like this makes me glad we lost. We deserved to lose.
split the difference and wash the Prozac down with Kool-Aid.
Don't worry. The same GOP kool-aid drinkers will be begging you to vote for the RINOs in 2008 or else it's your fault that the Dims are in power. The GOP have gone beyond the Stupid Party into the Comatose Party.
If you don't eat right, it can get that way ...
Prozac & Koolaid sometimes cause an intense craving for White Castle burgers.
I'll keep saying it: There are going to be a lot of one term wonders come January 09.
Dunno 'bout you, but my experience with Sliders strongly suggests against them being in any way associated with constipation.
I don't think I deserved it.
YUCK
Another good article. This is all information I was not aware of. I really hope the GOP can take advantage of this but again, I'm not holding my breath.
Read later.
just as RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) such as soon-to-be ex-Sen. Lincoln Chafee
One down. Just remembering this makes me feel better. Now tell me again how this election shows that the voters wanted the country to lurch left.
I agree. We did deserve to lose. The GOP was arrogant before the election in assuming that they had so many "safe" seats like Richard Pombo's only to see them taken away handily. That and we have a President who takes conservatives for granted with his immigration policies and foreign trade policies that benefit everyone in the world except America. The debt and the deficit are higher than ever. Then there's the war. What a mess. Bush is INSANE for allowing the media access to Iraq so they can foment insurrection at home by consistently representing our troops as baby-killers & etc. We can't win a politically correct war when the other side has no such constraints on their actions. We deserved to lose the election because we abandoned the principles that brought us to control in 1994.
Although these remarks wont garner you any new friends on this board but you speak true (though it hurts).
So the corollary to yor post is that we deserve the Democrats?
On the first day of the 104th Congress, the new Republican majority will immediately pass the following major reforms, aimed at restoring the faith and trust of the American people in their government:
FIRST, require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply equally to the Congress; SECOND, select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse; THIRD, cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third; FOURTH, limit the terms of all committee chairs; FIFTH, ban the casting of proxy votes in committee; SIXTH, require committee meetings to be open to the public; SEVENTH, require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase; EIGHTH, guarantee an honest accounting of our Federal Budget by implementing zero base-line budgeting.
These same things could've been used by an enterprising Dem as a campaign issue in the recent election. We committed the sin of pride and topped it off with a dollop of hubris.
Senator Bob Casey.
'nuff said.
