In a very bad way.
Wow.
I believe you are wrong, EV---It is just 1+ year.
As I recall (and I'm REALLY tired right now so I might not be thinking correctly), I don't think it was Dasshole who just got re-elected. I think he was just helping to get Tim Johnson elected so the RATS could hold control and HE could remain as Senate Majority Leader.
I am almost certain Dasshole comes up for re-election in 2004.
According to http://www.congress.org/congressorg/bio/?id=535&submit.x=15&submit.y=9, Dasshole was first elected to the Senate in 1986, so he would have been re-elected in 1992, 1998, and hopefully (NOT!) in 2004.
I didn't like the first Patriot Act. If the sunset clause is lifted and the act is made permanent then addended to, I will make my decision based on my conscience as anyone else here should do.
I am not on a high horse or arguing that a disagreement is somehow unprincipled. Right now, I support the President. What I proposed was a hypothetical that may or may not come to pass. No more, no less.
Oops! Sorry. It's bad when "Commie" describes so MANY RATS that there is confusion as to WHICH RAT is being referred to!!! LOL!
EV ADDED: "You are correct, though. Tom Daschle is up next year--and we must make it one of our highest priorities to crush him. I just spent the last two years living in the great state of South Dakota, and I assure you, it is more than doable."
I'm ready. Let's roll!
Two very different men, with different challenges. Both good men, but different nonetheless.
Too many give aways to corporations and special interests.
Just what do mean by 'giveaways'? Something intrinsically wrong with corporations? Define 'special interests', please. If you are going to say things like this you really do owe FReepers specifics, and not broadbrush assertions.
(Why is Halliburton going to get $7 billion in contracts for IRAQ?)
Because it is capable of doing the job. The vice-president has no financial connection to Haliburton, in case you didn't know. It is his former employer.
He does not seem to care about the little guys.
Classic leftwing class-warfare rhetoric.
I worry about our liberties with Ashcroft as AG.
I know John Ashcroft. He is one of the finest men in public service, and a strict constitutionalist. He has devoted his entire public career to fighting for the core principles of life and liberty that our free republic are founded upon. When Janet Reno was AG, I worried. With John Ashcroft as AG, I rejoice.
Still he is better than Gore would have been and he has done a good job protecting the American public.
Damning with faint praise, aren't you?
However, I get the feeling the white house runs on polls by Karl Rove and in this respect it is not much better than the Clinton white house.
You have nothing with which to back up that assertion.
I would feel more comfortable with divided government.
You're nuts. Sorry. Your words reveal someone who has been deceived by the left, and could use a good deprogrammer.
Sorry if I sound harsh, but words mean things--and you are using the words of Democrats.
We need to continue to keep our goals and objectives in perspective as the sound and fury of election 2004 rise and this great victory in Iraq fades through deliberate Liberal obfuscuration and distracting noise.
America cannot survive with a Democrat triumph in the foreseeable future. She will be fortunate if she survives Republican fecklessness.
For America to prevail as a Constitutional Republic, it will take a steady hand on the tiller for many years to come, married with a relentless defeat of the century-long debilitating influences of socialism, political corruption and Liberal Media hegemony.
