It is a tight union, and discipline is firm. Insurrections will not be tolerated. Josef Stalin would envy the control exerted by today's Democrats.

I agree with you as far as it goes. Another huge problem is the atrophied balls that may or may not be attached to the Republicans in the senate. They have their problems with the N.E. liberal twit alleged Republicans like Snowe and Chaffee, but they are still in positions of power, and they have really let us down over and over again. Everyone of them should have be out grabbing face time on the judicial nominees. The withdrawal of Estrada is shameful.

The withdrawal of Estrada is shameful.

The blame for that can't be laid at the feet of the N.E. RINOs. Frist is pushing socialized medicine as hard as he can while leaving true conservative ideals die, as seen with the Estrada withdrawl.

I tell you, our party has been hijacked by closet socialists and I haven't a clue how to get it back.

What many of you seem unaware of is that the Republican Party has only recently, Reagan in the '80s, become the home of most conservatives. Although Goldwater blazed the path in the '60s he was buried by an avalanche of dirty tricks by LBJ, a true lefty. Nixon was a wash philosophically, doing some liberal and some conservative things. At that time, most conservatives like Zell Miller were Democrats. Another good conservative from Georgia, Sam Nunn, got out of politics rather than switch and rather than support what had become a liberal Democrat Party.

The heart of the Republican Party, and this is still true of New England, was the Rockefeller Republicans who were liberals. To think that the Republican Party is deserting the conservatives is to not know history. The Republican Party has been liberal for most of its existence.

There are still some conservative Democrats who are so anti-Republican because of the party's history, they would never switch parties. Some of those are voters who vote the opposite of their interest because they simply can't bring themselves to vote Republican.

Most Republicans are now conservative and most conservatives are now Republican, but that is relatively recent. Conservatives don't have a lock on anything, yet.
