"Failure"???
Do rational, clear-headed, circumspect individuals jump to conclusions without all the facts?
Do they even define "failure" the way the illogical, and/or agenda-driven would define it?
No, they don't. So --- other than others with the same sort of emotion-driven predjudices as you have, just whose thinking do you hope to influence with such intemperate, knee-jerk statements?
Get with the big picture
The underlying problem that needs to be *cured* in this country are the hearts and minds of the people who vote for those who believe as they do (pro-abortion, social welfare spending, etc., etc.). That will take time.
For instance, Rush has been working on that problem for over 15 years. He was the pioneer that "took all the arrows", but he blazed the trail and has had a LOT of success. Just look at how many conservative talk shows, web sites and other media outlets we now have. Incrementally, minds are being changed.
So, focus your energy on "the problem". Change their minds. Stop being side-tracked / distracted by the symptoms that the problem causes. That's not logical. Help cure the problem. Be constructive.
In the meantime, we must stand together, and refuse to allow *their choices for public office* to win at the ballot box.
*Their choices* will be "DemocRATS".
That's ALL you need to know to stop them --- IF and UNTIL they can be *persueded* to make better, less self-centered, choices on their own.
It is literally a matter of life and death which party we allow in power.
There is ONE PARTY that has a reputation (both here and abroad), for being weak on crime and against a strong national defense.
Do you think that the enemies of America, within America, will vote for GWB and other Republicans for the House and Senate in 2004, or any other time????
Do you think that CIA or State Department officials like Robin Raphel (who said it would be "fascistic" to purge too many Baathists from the new Iraqi government) will be voting for GWB or ANY Republican?
Do you think that the terrorists and the anti-war Marxist sympathizers won't pull out all the stops trying to put the DemocRATS back in power?
It is NOT SAFE for those who love freedom to vote DemocRAT (even in local elections).
It is NOT SAFE for those who love freedom to sit at home and not vote (even in local elections).
It is NOT SAFE for those who love freedom to vote for a third party candidate because the result will be a DemocRAT in the White House appeasing terrorists and other enemies of America again.
Bottom line?
Those who don't go all out to see to it that G.W.Bush is re-elected will be aiding and abetting America's enemies -- either indirectly, by not voting, or directly, by voting DemocRAT / Third Party.
Those who aid and abet America's enemies by allowing DemocRATS to get back in power will be the recipients of the contempt that they will so richly deserve.
BullShit.. Plain and simple. You can sit there all day and type such crap, and hope there are people out here that don't read the bills and laws coming out of DC. But it isn't so. While I will give credit to the GOP when and where it has a set of gonads and stands up to Un-Constitutional actions. I can also say that for the Democrats. For in each party (and all walks of life, if one is to be honest) there are good and bad. But to sit back and say One Party is better then the other does not and I will repeat that, does not, take in account that BOTH parties have turn their back to the Constitution and America's founding ideas. And yes, I do know that the GOP, has a "somewhat" better record..but not by much lately.
And to say that we need a larger GOP force to overcome the Democrats is also a lie. They have that % on thier side and what have they done with it? Not much to overcome the assnine laws written by both parties. I'm still waiting to see a roll back on any or all Un-Constitutional Gun Laws...oh wait.. BUSH stood for extending one, if it reaches his desk! (what a cop out, why couldn't he have a set of gonads and stand against this Un-Constitutional action?) What we need is Americans in leadership that care for America FIRST AND FOREMOST, not a damm political party!
