There's a lot of work to be done people!
Yep. We are going to need as many Conservatives in Congress as we can get to stop the flood of Leftist bad ideas heading our way from the next White House whom ever wins.
Congress is the only check we have left now and I fear we haven’t a prayer there, either.
We don’t just need conservatives in Congress, but conservatives with cajones.
What would happen at the convention if something came out that totally discredited McCain. Something so bad that he was unacceptable as a nominee despite the number of delegates that he will have garnered?
The trouble is I have the same problem with my congressional representative that I have with the presidential race. I have one who ran as a conservative, beating out several others in primaries. This individual joined the Dems twice to vote to over ride the Bush veto of the SCHIP -Hillary care version.
The problem is we have to clean out the dead wood in Congress also while still having enough influence to put the brakes on the liberal agenda.
If this is our hope.....we’re doomed.....
This whole thing is off base. The GOP will be happy to limit ‘08 losses in the Senate to two or three. On the other hand, the House is within reach and that is what the GOP will hopefully be focusing on. The Senate may be possible in ‘10 or ‘12 when things line up better with regard to incumbents and open seats. And if McCain proves better than most people expect, that could help “down ticket” in ‘12.
The article makes sense except for the line....
“The Republicans must put all their efforts into retaining every seat we have and doing our best to keep the Democrats from achieving a 51 member, filibuster-proof majority.”
51 is not filibuster proof....60 is.
Ping for later!
I know how much you love McCain. I thought you might appreciate this.
“McCain is not known for his magnanimity, and most conservatives are not optimistic that McCain will reach out to them with anything approaching the same spirit shown to those across the aisle.”
Oh BULL! McCain reaches out to us all the time!
(he usually approaches from behind with a stilletto in his hand)
