Will you punish the senate republicans before they even hold a hearing on the nomination? WIll your lack of support for the republican party be helpful to the country? Or even be hurtful to the person you are really mad at, the president? Do you want Harry Reid, who apparently suggested this nominee, to be running the Senate? WOn't that just mean more nominees like this?

No, but after 15 years of busting my butt for Republican majorities and total control of the government, I have realized that it was a total waste of time as once the moment came the GOP decided to end the era of even thinking about smaller government. I won't vote democratic, but I won't be lifting a finger anymore or donating a penny to the GOP (except for Coburn).

I'd rather turn the presidency over to a democrat. We do best with republicans in the congress fighting a democrat president, because then the republicans control spending. When it's the other way around, the president usually signs the bills raising spending.

THe republicans do seem to think they should buy our votes.

But, in their defense, we did need to spend some more money on one-time upgrades to defend the country against terror. I just wish it had been a capital improvement program rather than what looks like a continuing expenditure.

At least the people of Oklahoma-if no other state-have two Republican U.S. Senators that they can take pride in.

I totally agree that all of the time, money, and passion I have put into Republican politics and supporting Bush seems to me now to be a total waste of time (other than the war on terror). I have sent letters to the DNC and all of the Senate Republicans I have donated to over the years that I will not contribute one cent more until they start following conservative Republican principles. My only contributions from now on will be to groups like the Club for Growth and to a few lone, principled Rep. standouts like Coburn.
