Never over-estimate the sheeple...they are not rational.

[Sunshine Sister]

You're right. That would be even better!

[Leclair10]

you know vast right wing you have nothing to lose by making your assumptions being here in pa i can tell you a different story I can tell you things look pretty rosey on increasing the margins in congress, it will likely be 14 reps and 5 dems headed to congress after the redistricting map is finished again. Don't be such a doomsayer get out this summer get some sun, all this negativity is bad, you'll never get anywhere with such negative thoughts, unless you look and act like Michael Moore.

Vinnie its getting it out of committees so guys like Miller, Breaux, and Nelson can vote for Bush initiatives and judges. The committes are key because bush has the votes to get his legislation passed in the full senate.

And with Trent Lott leading the charge how can we lose?

Heh, heh, heh, heh, it is an extremely lamentable and, undeniable prospect for failure. And don't forget Karl (Let's Nuke the Conservative Agenda while pretending to be Conservative)Rove in the SWhipe House. What a team. The Rats still own all the broadcast video media. We will always be swimming upstream, especially with a President who WON'T FIGHT FOR US. We're on our own, and in fact, we have to FIGHT HIM and his croneys. Witness Mineta and Ridge attempting to sabotage airline cockpit defense, and also the 2nd Amendment... We already lost the NJ Governorship, which was ripe for the picking, and that can be laid squarely at GWB/Rove's doorstep for sabotaging a conservative GOP candidate. They tried it in California, but fortunately the local party blew it out of the water.

And here in Minnesota, Colemans's campaign against Wellstone was just torpedoed by GWB's sudden enthusiasm for covering mental illness and piling on more mandatory costs on all of our health insurance so that HE would look noble...and liberal. With OUR money. Thank you Mr. 'Conservative'. How compassionate of you to take our money from us without our getting a say. How nice of you to be making a nice safe environment for RATS to run and win elections in.

There IS something we can do. Elect enough conservatives to negate the votes of the Democrats and RINOs. How many RINO's we got? About 5? If we can get at least 50 true conservatives in the Senate, we got them licked (that'd require a 6 seat net gain in the Senate this year, assuming those 6 gains are real conservatives and my guess of 5 RINOs is correct). Cheney will be there for the tie-breaking vote, so even if the RINO's voted Democrat every time conservative legislation would still be getting pushed through.

Not that I'll think it'll happen this year. The Republican party hasn't shown much of any fighting spirit in the last couple years. What I wouldn't give for another Contract With America type push this year like in '94. The damnable thing is we COULD win, if most Republican candidates had a pair of brass ones and a spine. To bad most of them don't.

While this sounds well and good, I'm concerned about the congressional leadership having the gonads to do the right things--passing legislation that is conservative and fiscally responsible. Will the Republicans dump Lott, or will they fritter away an excellent opportunity to roll back Democrat largesse?

I also wary of the media, as they could provide the underdog, Daschle, with a mouthpiece to complain about "those evil Republicans in charge." I distinctly remember hearing his whine during the six months in 2001 that the Republicans held control of the Senate on every newschannel. Imagine how vocal he could be after January 2003! Yuk!

Great Job of posting and welcome to FReeperville.

I think that the Pubbies have had quite enough of Chester Lott. Don Nichols stands to challange Lott for majority leader (if we win in Nov.) Besides, 9/11 changed many things, the media is just now catching on. The Slime twins (NY, and LA LA LAND) are suffering "big time" & the Washington Compost isn't far behind. The major networks are shuffling personnel to try to get 4 people to watch the evening news, and Commie News Net. is gasping and spewing. Things have changed, and the socialists are seeing it. I should imagine that most of the DemocRAT leadership is on Imodium AD by now, or they spend an inordinate amount of time in the bathroom.

That being said, we can't give up or let down our pressure. This is a fight to the end...to the death! If we don't win it then we'll all be living in the mountains, fighting every day for our freedom.

Glad to have you on board!
