People who are relying on Congress to set this thing right, haven't been following the news lately. When the Dems had a lesser advantage in the Senate, they ruled the roost. Now the GOP's advantage is so "slight" they must be accomodating. Some people think that Snowe, Chaffee, McCain, et.al., will vote Republican. Sure they will.

AGAIN, Bush Sr. was annihilated in the '92 election because conservatives knew him too well. (It surely was not conservatives who selected him as V.P. in 1980, setting up the 1992 disaster.)

Bush Jr. has done very little to show conservatives that he is, in fact, conservative. Conservatives are strange creatures compared to liberals. They are not an automatic party vote, choosing sometimes to look at the characteristics of the candidate(s).

Slouching towards Gomorrah may be preferrable to a lemming-like rush, but that does not make it a viable choice.

BIG QUESTION, AGAIN: When in the last 50 years have the tides toward hedonistic socialsim, been stemmed (let alone reversed) when the GOP has had control of part, or all, of the federal government? Yes, the Reagan years were a feel-good time, but a lot of bad things, besides Bush Sr., happened during that era.

(Even when they had a chance to affect the Supreme Court, they seem to have dropped the ball - Eisenhower gave us the Warren Court, no comment should be necessary, and Bush Sr., who could have tipped the Court significantly in a conservative direction, gave us David Souter, a flaming liberal.)

"...Eisenhower gave us the Warren Court..."

Yes, and he later admitted it was the worst decision of his life.
