I was able to pull in about 12 votes with my immediate family for Bush in '04. Want to guess how many of us are voting this time around?

Republicans should stand up for principles and values, not the mushy middle.

That's something I can't see them doing right now. They haven't been hurt enough yet to be brought back to reality. They are still wearing blinders and going along with the ideologies that closely resembles dems. Some day they'll get their wake-up call. Sometimes the only way to tell which party they are speaking from is if there's an D or R behind their names. Other than that - they are the same.

Not only are they wearing blinders, they are running scared and in the wrong direction. They no longer are guided by the principles they initially ran on. The only thing that matters now is holding on to their seats of power. The irony is that their very actions are what will cause them to lose those jobs.

That's all you need to say. Here's two truisms: Corporations never actually pay taxes, and career politicians never get hurt.

The scurry to the left is because they know there's loyal broken-glass moderates who'll vote for change every time. Conservatives continue to prove that they can't be counted on. Ask Rick Santorum.

if its merely a matter of a "D" or an "R" behind their name, why do we care if all govts are just made up of Rats?....

well ..you know why and so do all freepers.....for the worthless sh*p that this present Pub Congress/Senate/Presidency has brought us, it also brought us a few good judges....

and judges is where its all at...

if the Pubs don't put up some defense, I hesitate to think what the Rats will pull off....immediate national health insurance, gun control, the "fairness" doctrine, etc.....

there is lots at stake here....

we've had dark days before.....Clinton rode in with a Rat Senate and House.....we defeated that and we can do it again...
