My "idiotic remark" was all about supporting a dem over a Republican for Senate....You assume this kind of action would have no effect on the makeup of the Senate and our ability to retain the majority..I respectfully disagree...
This kind of thinking could lose us the majority...There is more than one Rino Senator to complain about and if this idea of voting dem spreads..bye bye majority.
Allow me to apologize for being so harsh. I read your comment to be just as harsh and I reacted accordingly. Now that you've explained it, I understand your concerns too.
Not every senate primary race presented this clear a choice. At least not so that it garnered any attention from the national media like this one. This race was also the one that Bush and Co. jumped onto to support the incumbent and spend time here and ran ads for. If that ocurred elsewhere, I didn't see it.
The emotions are high here in PA. This is a rare opportunity to remove a liberal incumbent. Bush screwed up the best case scenario and now we are left only with this less that ideal solution.
If we succeed here and get rid of a RINO and thus, put Kyl in as the SJC Chairman, maybe in two years another state can try it. Again, from all of the fuss that I seem to have stirred up, we are the only ones trying this.
It's a risk, but it's not the end of the world.
Maybe you can answer the question that I've posed twice now without answer.
Why is it that when we have a slim majority, we can't get our agenda passed, but if the numbers would be reversed that our republican/conservative world would crash and burn overnight?
IF, that's a huge word, IF my gamble proves wrong, isn't the House still safely Republican? Isn't Bush still able to veto bill? (Someone may have to tell him that he can.) Aren't the RINOs that everyone says we need still Republicans and will still vote with us?
If they aren't reliable, then let start with Specter and remove them.
