I simply refuse.
Preach it, Brother Tom!
Delay showed lots of backbone when he bailed. He needs to shut up and sit down. He had his turn and lost it.
Two men I have always loved simply because they have balls, Tom Delay and John Bolton. With me, a healthy dose of backbone for fighting the enemy will cover a multiple of sins.
The GOP was elected to run Congress in ‘94 to clean out the place. They could have abolished the executive washroom, instead they just changed the lock on the door.
We won’t be fooled again.

His actions cost the reps a reasonably safe seat. Had he bwowed out in the primaries we would ahv ehad a person on the ballot. I know I live in what once was his district.
The knives in his back from fellow Republicans didn’t help things.
Yeah, Delay had the balls to help preside over the largest expansion of the federal government in our history. Good riddance.
Maybe but he did not leave in a way conducive to help the cause he just left and now wants to talk smack.
Santorum was stabbed worse than Delay and he’s talking gloom and doom.
Is he wrong when you consider that in spite of recent events, the Republican leadersip (not the average Joe) still supports open borders and amnesty, still wants lots of earmarks, still wants to undercut the President on the Iraq war effort and FISA and judicial appointments, and still treats the voters as ignorant morons just waiting to be led by their self-assumed intelligence.
Pray tell, what changes have been made by this leadership since the 2006 elections that shows they have a clue as to what went wrong?
Should be “...not talking...”
I was really getting tired of Newt a few months ago with all his bravado about running. Want to ensure a Dim win run Newt. He screwed his chances and needs to stick to the private sector.
The GOP deserves to be bashed. It stands for nothing, right now, and there is indeed a leadership void. The sad thing is that they do have an opportunity to take back the House next year, but they'll botch it. I think this party is headed for the wilderness again, thanks to the mush-headed moderates trying to control the party.
Not only that, but bailing after the primary so that we had to do a write-in candidate for the election, thus handing his seat to the democrats.
Say what you must about Rudy - I disagree with him on many issues, too - but the country can survive the Presidency of ANY of the Republican candidates (except Paul), but it cannot survive Democrat control of both Congress and the White House.
So I guess I'm in denial.
In general, the way to win seats is to recognize all politics is local. If a seat is in a moderate district, then do not refuse to fund a moderate candidate. If a seat is in a Democrat leaning district, then don’t waste money there at all. If a seat is in a GOP leaning district, then that too is a place not to waste money.
The battle is a fight in the middle, and that’s the GOP leaning districts won by Democrats. Target them with a GOP candidate who is squeaky clean #1 and shares the values of That Particular District.
Victory moves the body politic rightward. Defeat moves it leftward.
