Confronting a dire outlook for next year’s elections, House Republicans have begun to fight back with a new three-pronged strategy: painting the new Democratic majority as part of an unpopular Washington status quo, forcing Democrats to make unpopular votes on tough issues and locking arms around a new GOP issues agenda.
House Republicans might well be expected to be watching their better-funded, in some cases cocky, Democratic competitors from the fetal position.

We need to make sure we have all the snow shoveled off of our door steps as well.
“locking arms around a new GOP issues agenda.”
Gotta wonder if abortion, gay rights, gun control and amnesty are part of the “new GOP issues agenda.”
the pubies are not even in the game.
it’s 1992 or 1996 all over.
1992, with a weaker Dem and national security at stake, and rightties more involved at the civic and state levels.
We gained House seats in 1992, for what it’s worth.
Offensive to their voter base maybe.......
Here’s the good news: Hillary will not be elected President of the United States, ever. Not in a million years. When Americans walk into their polling places in November 2008 - - when it is time to get serious and cast their votes FOR REAL - - they simply will not be able to cast their votes for Hillary Clinton.
And the rats know it. (Hence the lingering talk about Algore.)
I predict the biggest GOP Presidential landslide in history (and maybe plenty of House seats with it).

One can only hope.
Thompson is the man to pull the House and Senate on his coattails. Rudy can't do that and neither can Mitt. McCain is already done; he just refuses to give up. He blew it on immigration and will never regain the trust he lost in this party. You watch, as soon as the elections are over...McCain will be smoking a peace pipe with Kennedy again for a new, improved immigration amnesty bill.
Thompson will not allow amnesty to happen, he would veto any bill that came to his desk. Giuliani created a sanctuary city in New York. You don't really think he won’t pursue the same policies do you? This mess must be cleaned up by WE THE PEOPLE!
Thompson stepped up to our calls and is the WE THE PEOPLE candidate!
And
The 17 GOP members running for reelection on the campaign committee’s ROMP program, designed to protect vulnerable incumbents, narrowly outraised their Democratic counterparts: Those incumbents raised an average of $274,400 for the quarter, while the 29 members on the Democrats’ Frontline program raised an average of $259,000.
Interesting contradiction there within the same article.
We'll see.
If Rudy's the nominee? Good luck..
I do take issue with the pathetic sniping Republicans should cower. It is precisely because they have cowered some of this mess happened. I actually take it as a positive to see a tiny bit of fire rather then conceding 2008.
BUT. It comes down to trust and issues. i still don't trust republicans anymore then I trust the Dems. Though of all offices the house is the one I would like back in 2008 only a BETTER majority then the one that was kicked out. The Senate? Eh. republicans seem to work better there in the minority. W.H? I'd like to win there, but depends on the nominee.
If they don’t get their collective asses in gear, it will be their “Winter of Discontent”.
Casting out RINO incumbents in primaries, unfortunately, is difficult. Since they are the ones with the power of incumbency and the $$, and often in situations where there are no runoffs, they can continue to occupy their seats (until they’re knocked off by rodents, more often than not). We have so much house cleaning to do on our side before we face the rodents, it’s ridiculous.
That’s what I was thinking..say, Jim, unless the ‘new-agenga’ look at like the ‘old-agenda’-see conservative principles, then it’s not really of any use to me..!
When McCain dropps out, Thompson will be the big winner.
“I predict the biggest GOP Presidential landslide in history (and maybe plenty of House seats with it).”
Considering: 11 percent approval ratings for the Congress as a whole — all parties included ...
Considering the GOP leadership (read George W. Bush, et al.)continues unfettered, and in staunch defiance of the will of the American people, with its treasonous plans to force amnesty for illegals down the throat of every sovereign state and American citizen, by any means of deception ...
Considering the Congressional Republicans are acting deaf, dumb, and blind to GWB’s SPP betrayal of American sovereignty, marching lock-step with our illustrious defender of “democracy” — as he meticulously weaves America into the tapestry of a new world order under one world government ...
Considering that the GOP “front-runners” — Mayor Rudolph “ I never met a liberal policy I could not live with,” and “straight-guy for the queer bride” Rubber-stamp Romney — are both a couple of left-leaning, morally-challenged, double-talking purveyors of bovine scatology ...
And last but not least — Fred “I just could not bring myself to impeach Bill Clinton” Thompson ...
I seriously doubt the GOP will reap much of anything in 2008, except perhaps for a really bad hang-over the morning after they lose the rest of the Congress and the Presidency ... That is unless we conservatives suddenly lose our minds and all principle, and just pull the BIG ‘R’ cause we’re so used to getting screwed by these lying, two-faced, spineless, cheats, that we no longer care if they sell our country out from under us.

Try rallying the troops when Larry Craig is the poster boy.
Not gonna happen.
The “pubies”????
Yeah. Four years of Hillary and two or three young liberal Supreme Court justices - - that'll show them.
