The Senate IS being dealt with.
If you go to the article I referred to and looked in detail at the compilation of the GoA scorecards in detail (or go to their site to begin with) or go to any of a number of other scorecard sites, you can see that the Senate is s-l-o-w-l-y becoming more conservative as the super-lib Senators retire.
It is amazing to me at how almost totally invariant a senator's voting is from session to session in most of these scorecards, so trying to apply additional "conservative leverage" seems pretty useless. We have to engage in the decades-long process of replacing a Senators.
It only takes four years to elect a new president, so people think the whole country can change quickly. It doesn't, though, it takes decades. It is hard for people in the more conservative regions of the country to appreciate how far the conservative movement has come in this regard when they don't see their desired legislation being passed. My best advice to them a couple years ago was to send money to Thune, and to live with Shoomie. Now, it is to try to defeat Byrd, and similarly vulnerable liberals, with at least a slightly conservative Republican - even if they a supporter or protectionism, etc. Get them one or two at a time...
We have to be big-picture oriented, and not focussed on the short term situation.
Very true. I have been keeping up with byrd and his numbers aren't too hot. What kind if coup would it be for the conservative movement if byrd was defeated? 8) That would be great. I guess then the democrats will have to find some other kkk member to be a Senator, so there is at least SOMEONE on the democrat side of the Senate that represents what the democrats REALLY think, and that reflects the history of the democrat party. 8)
