Of course they have. And they will continue to do so. They will talk. They may out of sheer boredom after Bush gives them most of what they want even impeach him. But they will not remove him from office. Look right now GW Bush has the GOP split in half. Half love him the other half does not. That means GOP congressional votes are split. That means the GOP is in effect stopped dead in it's tracks in opposing the DEMs because the DEMs actually want much of what Bush proposes.
Example? Why just before the last election key DEMs were saying we're pulling out of Iraq. Bologna! They don't want out they are getting too filthy rich off of contracts as are some GOP. Now there is growing support to actually increase the number of ground troops in Iraq.
Things like gathering data on private citizens. The DEM's did it and more remember the FBI files? No the DEMs are fighting the GOP over who gets to keep the files that's all.
The only people who would say that there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans are those who do not value the life of the unborn, the moral fabric of this country, our national security, or Constitutionalist judges. Is that what you really mean to say, snipe?
There are many pro-abort GOP have you forgotten that? It cost Bob Dole an election. Weren't they just so adorable? Chrissie and Sussie as keynote speakers. Many seem to let that slide when it comes election time. I don't do you? I will not vote for a pro-abort canidate DEM, GOP, or any other party.
National Security? What National Security? Unarmed National Guards at the Mexican border getting shot at? That is a National Disgrace and there is no excuse for it period. Giving more and more hi-tech and production capabilities to China? Ignoring our plane being forced down in International Waters while Unkie has a dinner engagement? Foreign M.E. nations doing our shipyard work and carriers moored at their piers? NAFTA? Want more? How about invites to China to take over running our ports?
I would rather see gridlock where neither party for at least the next two years gets nothing done except the necessities than a continuation of our national decline and world standing that has taken place since 1989 and is growing worse at an ever increasing rate. As for Judges? Give me a break. LOL The words Orin Hatch for USSC Justice were never typed by me and what was Bush thinking the day he nominated Harriet Meyers {SP}
The man is in way over his head. Even tha65t could be overcame if he for once in his terms brought in outside of Poppy's Inner Circle advisors. The nation can not handle Hillary for POTUS at this point nor can it handle 4-8 years of another like Bush or his dad. They are a whole lot closer in political policy than anyone in the GOP wants to ever admit they are. That's a lot of what is wrong right now is the fact the GOP and the DEMs are too close together in agenda. Much of it was caused by the fact many DEMs changed parties between 1980 and 1995. They brought their liberalism with them.
The number of RINO's now in congress added to the number of DEMs in congress equals we need gridlock until Constitutional order is once again restored to congress. That may take an election cycle or two but it's definately going to take booting out some long time congress crtitters in the GOP to accomplish it.
Of course not, but I know the party platform position, and I know which way the decisions go regarding the sanctity of life when the Republicans are in control instead of the RATS. NO one who values life says it doesn't matter who's in charge.
As for national security, I'm talking about support for the military, defense against terrorists, prosecuting terrorists, and protecting us against another attack since 9/11. You may slough those things off as meaningless because of border issues, but I don't. It's possible to disagree on one aspect of this administration's policy without throwing the whole lot of them into the garbage like you do.
And President Bush is anything but 'in over his head.' Maybe you should start to pray for him rather than bash his head into the ground, snipe. You might find that you have a different attitude toward this man of impeccable character, integrity, and courage.
