They knew it was a show-boat pandering law when they passed it.
The GOP’s problem is that it’s base is too smart to play political games with. That’s another problem they need to address if they want to regain a majority. We’re tired of the pandering. We want results.
That's also the last time the Democrats controlled Congress and the White House. When that happens again Republicans will be ready.
Get personal, get specific. Every single Congress person should be running against Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and whoever is on top of the Dem ticket as follows: "Do you know why you are paying $4 a gallon in gas? Because Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama think you need to pay that. They despise your success, they hate your prosperity, and they think you need to be taken down a peg. High gas prices are a good way to do it." Each message, every time someone speaks on TV, on radio, every time, MUST by name attack Democrats. That is the only way to "nationalize" the congressional elections.
Republicans have to do something this year, and that's as good as any other suggestion, but the average American has only a dim idea who Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid is. Going on about how they mean to destroy us is going to get tired pretty fast.
“...president bush learned..... unfortunately..... that his new tone was a failure.”
tyranny never dies. it only takes up new residence when it gets chased from one place to another. now, it has taken up residence in the democrat party where it has found a hot house in which to thrive.
(unfortunately, the “electorate” will vote for the democrat scu&bags in droves and give them veto-proof majorities, and, will they compromise with conservatives?))
“These are the kind of things that lower your approval ratings in the short run while people are getting used to hearing”
Congress’s approval rating according to Gallup this week sits at 18%. How much lower could it go?!
Only in my dreams will anyone say that.
You’re right. They don’t know now. But how many people knew who Newt or Tom DeLay were until the Dems demonized them in every single speech?
You do not have to make the choice that stark. If Republicans would just start harping about energy independence constantly, Global warming would quickly become a non-issue. Few people will worry about a future potential climate change when confronted with an immediate peril.
Why are you giving a pep talk to a bunch of spinless greedy emasculated lobotanised idiots?
They are there not to serve but to loot.
We disagree. I think part of the reason we are in this pickle is that Republicans have refrained from making “stark” choices and from naming names.
I plan to do all I can to save the one that most closely resembles what I believe in. You're free to opt out and to into the bunker.
We don’t disagree all that much, I am in favor of your aggressive approach. It’s a good concept. I was trying to say that even if they went halfway too your position, they would have success.
I’m waiting for J. Mcain to reach out for the conservative vote. He can’t win without my vote.
He also needs to drop this climate orgy thing too.
Reach out? What makes you think he will do that? If he wouldn’t do it for the PRIMARY, why in the world would he “reach out” for the general election? No, he’s not gonna change.
TA DAAAAA!
You have just reached nirvana.
If you trully have reach nirvana. You won’t be voting for mcain.
Because: hillery is mcain is obama.
