I agree 100%. We are winning the little battles and gaining strength. The Federals are next. We will retake the GOP. For now the GOP will have to do. I'd hate to see another fragmentation like Ross Perot did which in effect put Willie in the first time.

Yep...me, too!! However, the threat of an exodus is the Right's most powerful weapon at this point...no more going along to get along with the DemonRATS or we'll give up on the Pubbies!! Hopefully, we'll never get to that point...the upcoming signing of the Law to prohibit Partial Birth Abortion is a good step. Then, I'd really like to see some bills consolidating various social spending programs into lower-cost combined programs, then some devolvement of Power from the Feds to the States. The ideas are out there, now it's up to the Pubbies to get behind them between now and November 2004. If they do, I can foresee a Reagan'84-style landslide in 11/04 with coattails enuff to give the GOP a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate!!
