Reagan Man...your decision helped to bring about the loss of both Houses of Congress to the Democrats, and now it appears that as a result of that loss, millions of illegal aliens will get a fast-track citizenship handed to them.
As far as I'm concerned, anyone who made the decision to be divisive and in doing so bring about the loss, made a far worse decision than any the President made in his tenure.
You can't win by losing.
That should have been evident by the last time that the "conservative" base opted to remain at home.
You remember that time, don't you?
Most of us call it "the Clinton Administration".
When you're fighting for your country, losing is not an option, even if the best that you can do at the moment is not to give up ground, it is unacceptable to lose, and then take pride in your participation in that loss.
Well, anyway, I'm glad that you are proud to have taken actions so destructive to the nation.
LOL What nonsense. Sorry, I don't have that power. The credit for the defeat of the GOP on election day 2006, belongs to Bush, Hastert, Frist, Boehner, Blunt and the other dolts in the GOP leadership. Period. My decision was to vote straight Republican, just like I have for 34 years. That's what counts. Standing up and speaking out against poor leadership and failed domestic policy was also my decision. Like the Senate bill S.2611, and its later incarnations, a liberal immigration reform proposal that Bush has supported from day one. Not HR4437 that the House approved, and then allowed to die in conference. My right of free speech as an American citizen, enables me to speak out against the anti-conservative agenda being advanced by the GOP in WashDC. I see there remain numerous FReepers still in denial as to why Nov7th was such an historic loss for the GOP. Amazing! If you liberal-moderate-centrist Republicans keep acting so irresponsibly, 2008 will be a bigger loss then 2006 was. Conservative members of the GOP are fed up with big government Republicans. They expressed that disapproval on election day, and rightfully so.
"You can't win by losing."
Well thought out. But there is another statement that is equally true: If you are faced with a lose-lose situation, you cannot possibly win.
If I am to stabbed in theback, I would feel only slightly better if it were my enemy rather than my "friend" who was ding the statement.
When you guys are done compromising with an enemy, who will not give one inch of their own position, let the rest of us know, please. What did we learn from bargaining with the Soviets. They got all of the bargains, we got left holding a bag of doo-doo, while they sat around laughing their butts off. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Conservatives know that
