Thanks for the welcome. I wanted Spectre fired, too, but the opportunity has passed. A Republican majority isn't a done deal, so you might end up with a Democrat chairing the judiciary committee. That would be very bad, albeit not necessarily much worse than one chaired by Spectre!

Spectre's nomination is indeed a sad predicament, but we (conservatives) must get much better at winning primaries. BTW, if a Democrat DOES win the election, it will be much harder to beat him in the future. Incumbents have a rather large advantage, so your plan might end up losing the seat to conservatives for decades!

I understand being wary about this, but if the dems can still block what we want when we're in the majority, why can't we block the dems if (in the slim-to-none-chance that) they do?

Or alternatively, if we can't get anything done when we're in control, why is the world going to end if they have a slim majority and any legislation has to get past Bush's (still missing) veto pen?

I don't want to see the dems have the control that they had for 5 decades either, but I think that you may be assuming an outcome far worse than possible.

Of course, this all assumes that the remaining RINOs remain as faithful to the GOP as so many here suggest they will.
