I am voting the straight Republican ticket, as I have done since 1972 at age 18. However, if the GOP runs an open borders Presidential candidate next year, I am going to write in KARL MARX!!

I'm worried that Tom Tancredo may lead a revolt against the GOP standard-bearer in 2008 giving the election to hitlary.
I see the Amnesty issue as the wedge that will splinter the center-right party and lead to the election of a farleftist. Tancredo could be the next Ross Perot, resulting in another 8 years of clintonism, squared. I don't think the Republic could survive it.

The Republic will not survive the wanton destruction of it's language and culture either. The House has at least ostensibly slapped Bush's face on open borders. Time will tell if the RNC is asleep at the wheel, or responsive to the 75% of Americans(including hispanic Americans) who want the borders secured.

I do believe the Repubs need a good shake-up but the alternative is too scary.The answer to this dilemma, as always, is the primary system. It' s too late for this year, but the answer is to do whatever you can to get a good conservative candidate to challenge a RINO, even if s/he is incumbent. It won't work all the time (see:Toomey vs Sphincter in PA) but in the long run it will strengthen the conservative caucus at the expense of RINO jerkwaters.

You must be a Euro-weenie. Soccer is wretched, by the way. The most boring popular sport ever created.

We're going to have her anyway. We need someone up to taking her on and we just don't have them."Take her on?" C'mon. "Speaker" Pelosi is like a case of genital warts--the only real solution is prevention. And that implies a positive "can do" attitude across the fruited plain.
To: kjo
Some are saying (not me, but some)that the country needs two years of Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers, John Murtha, and the other crazies in the Defeatocatic House to get ourselves ready for '08.
I do know one thing, the current Congress is not the Congress I voted for in 1994; what happened to all of those people and promises?
The former scares me - they'll be voting for amnesty for sure. But you're right - where are our contract with America representatives? I'd hate to think that that was the heyday of the GOP and it's downhill from here.
To: Defiant
The House GOP party needs to be reelected because of immigration, the issue where Bush has pissed off a lot of us. The Senate GOP needs to be maintained in spite of itself in order to allow Bush to get at least a few good nominees through.
Now, that's a post I needed. I've been putting up with mindless Bushbots throwing insults and party propaganda around, insisting everyone vote Republican but giving no reasons. You've summed it up admirably. Wish the others could be as articulate and intelligent. (I don't know where they came from, but I'm ashamed that they call themselves Republicans.)
To: Plains Drifter
Well said!
This used to be a forum where an opinion could be expressed. No longer. Ignore the ignorant responses.

You and I are on the same wavelength, in that, whenever I think of Bela Pelosi, genital warts come to mind.

Hello,
I was actually called to participate in a poll tonight. What an experience! I got to answer questions like, "What should our government do about the CRISIS in Iraq?" Well, well, I have always heard about push polls, know I know for sure they exist.
Glad to be here, MOgirl

To: CottonBall
No one was giving Bush a harder time over the past few months than me--but from a conservative perspective. But the solution is not to sit out and let the Dems take over the war effort, or do any of the other things that they would do to harm this country. I was always going to vote for the GOP, but while holding my nose and working to increase conservative influence in the party. Now, the Dems have got me fired up to work hard for their defeat, and I think they have had the same effect on others. This will be a shocker for the Propaganda Press.
We still have to work to get a better group of candidates in '08. I think it is essential to have a dynamic conservative Presidential candidate, someone who can nationalize the election, energize the base, and bring the moderates in line while responding to the sniping from the press in a more effective way than Bush has.

That would be wonderful.

I think the so-called experts get it wrong again.
However, if the Repubs do lose the House or Senate or both, the Dems will have overplayed their hands with Bush investigations and impeachment hearings, and possibly, pushing their cut in run policy for Iraq by trying to defund the Iraq war(Bush vetoes this), consequently, the Dems will lose big again in 08.
To: Plains Drifter
'My way or the highway' liberals brought the dems to defeat in 1994 and pretty much kept them out of power in Congress for most of the time up until now.
'My way or the highway' conservatives can do the same to the GOP.
Nice strategy you got there...

I really don't think so. Remember the MSM will be making the strong case for the legitimacy of the impeachment hearings, and inevitable impeachment, of the President. Much as they kept Clinton popular by obfuscating the issues during his impeachment drama, they will bury Dubya by obfuscating the issues during his impeachment drama.
If the dems win control of Congress, the angle will be that this is a mandate against Bush. To be fair, that's a legitimate interpretation. The impeachment of Dubya will be a popular one, most likely. The result will be a very weakened GOP limping towards election 2008. I expect this atmosphere will lead to a more moderate GOP candidate, not a conservative one. Depending on who that is and who they are running against, he or she could still win.
But if the dems nominate a moderate democrat who is barely credible on national defense, they will run the board in the 2008 election, winning the presidency and making gains in Congress.
Losing Congress at this juncture is a disaster - make no mistake about it. If the dems win the House by more than 15 seats, the GOP won't control the House for a decade or more.
