"And your solution would be?"

During the Reagan years, us, yes, the forgotten "grass roots", insured that his political goals would succeed to a great extent. My solution would be, as I have already done down here in Monroe County, is to advise the local RNC reps that if things do not change and within the next 6 months to a year, that you will sit on your hands. I'm already looking at moving my retirement funds offshore to the islands. And since for a mere deposit of $500,000 in securities and cash, you can get citizenship in many of these nations, it's an inviting prospect. Your solution appears to be to have no principles. Sounds quite Clintonian, but I have a wife, and need no other broads in my life. I'll stick with principle. I'm too old to change now.

"All Im saying is pick our battles, have you forgotten the ongoing filibuster?"

No. W has. Why not nuke the Demorats with a parlimentary procedure? Why not use principle in a fight and win respect that way, instead of being cowards and scared of the media?

"This tax issue will be forgotten next year, but Estrada may or not."

The 80/20 rule indicates it will be dead in 30 days.

"So I suppose you going to show him and not vote for Bush, huh?"

As of today, I'm not voting at all. 40 years of voting wasted. We've gone from fighting communists to adopting their policies. Yeppers, that's real progress.

"Thats how Clinton got elected."

No, Clinton got elected because Bush Sr. refused to follow through on a promise and showed a lack of prinicple. Clinton got re-elected because the RNC failed to show backbone and fixed the primaries for Dole. It just proves that the 80/20 rule still holds solid. Enjoy your participation in the 80.

"That'll show Bush you mean business."

As of today, the only differences between Bush and Lieberman are how you spell the last names and that Bush isn't Jewish.
