I know what you mean. What are they thinking?

[justshutupandtakeit]

Lovers of Losers are reeealy effective. They effectively convince 1% of the voters to get into a snit and run to one inconsequental party or the other.

[freddiedavis]

the senate goes into recess soon...bush can use his recess appointment rights...stick it to them bush

[johnb838]

I'd rather get that fellow that lost to Arlen Spectator in there.

[Hank Rearden]

No action, no vote, no Majority, no re-election.

Yep. Why would anybody support this bunch of statist, weaselly bastards?

[johnb838]

Frist has all the personality of a box of toenail clippings. It would be a pleasure for me to vote against him. He's never shown me anything to vote for! I'd sooner vote for Trent Lott.

[Night Hides Not]

WOW! Are we ever about to get our clocks cleaned in '06. Can anybody else feel it?

I feel it...and I want to puke!

Dare I say it? Be ready for another President Clinton, starting on 1/20/2009. The momentum the Democrats will have after 11/06 will be palpable.

At this point, I have little faith that Frist and Hassert have the cojones to take the battle to the Democrats. I'm still waiting for Dubya to spend all that "capital" he says he has.

If the Pubbies can't get it done with the majorities they have now, when will they ever get it done?

No excuses! America needs action!!!

He'll soon regret the one term promise he made.

Seriously, the Republicans have to hit this issue harder than just assuming everyone will see it there way.

Or just do it! I'm sure those against it in the polls are either just Dems or people who neither know nor care much about the issue -- and won't remember a week from now!

[johnb838]

The pubs on the hill have never made the rats pay for their shenanigans. The rats have reason to fear US, the Free Republicans (sounds like a good party name), but they don't fear the republican caucus. We do need a party, but I'm not sure it's the liberaltarian leaning constitution party.

DAMMIT! We had our boot on the neck of these rat finks, and now it would appear they are going to be allowed to get back up by the pubs disdain for the fight over the border and judges. SHAME!

Hopefully, the GOP wll wake the heck up after losing some seats in '06 for being whimps.

[NeoCaveman]

I'm so pissed I've been tempted to make a $0.50 cent donation to them so I can cost them postage and credit card fees.

Go for 9 cents, they are allegely getting a lot of nine cent checks from angry Republicans.

If you send only 9 cents they will know you are mad.

Hopefully, the GOP wll wake the heck up before losing some seats in '06 for being whimps.

I hope so too!!

Because today, things don't look so good for them.

[johnb838]

OK, thank you, I will. I don't have time to notate and return every danged request for money they send me.

[demkicker]

As I posted earlier on another thread - second terms usually turn out badly, e.g. Reagan and Iran Contra, Clinton and Lewinsky, Nixon and Watergate. GW's second term has started out poorly, and is sinking fast.

What makes your valid points so infuriating is that Bush isn't swept up in any scandal. I almost wish there was a scandal in which to blame his and the GOP's ineffectiveness.

I'm disgusted and frustrated as well.

[Ol' Sparky]

Say goodbye to your Senate seat, Rick. If you're going to act like a loser and not lead, you don't deserve to remain in office nor do the Republicans deserve to remain in the majority in the Senate.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Why bother being the majority.

[steve-b]

Nothing, nothing I say, was done for the majority of citizens. So they are not now going to support the Republicans' efforts.

Yep.

To be sure, they won't be offended enough to switch sides. They'll still be inclined to vote Republican... if it's not raining on Election Day, and if they don't have an errand to run, and if there's nothing good on TV, and if the line at the polls isn't too long....
