I have no problem arguing and discussing with you and others who don't want to hurt this country and want to improve our party.

In your work history, how were anti American moles handled?

My point is, we've made the parts greater than the whole. The Democrats did that, and over time, they became the monstrosity they are today.

Everyone should be free to have a debate in this forum. Displeasure and disillusionment with the current administration is not an executable offense. We need to stop taking our disagreement personally here. We all voted Republican. I submit that we lost the moderate swing votes because our campaigns began to blur with moderate Democrats, which in turn made the Iraqi War the only issue that starkly separated us from the Democrats. We couldn't run on anything because we had nothing to differentiate ourselves. Peter Roskam got the last minute boost in my district because he hammered home the issue of illegal immigration - a solid stance that gave the local electorate something to think about besides the war, corruption, what have you. And he won despite most projections that he would lose.

I just need to take a break, go soak my head, and start pondering what we need to do in order to salvage 2008...

Have a great day, everyone.
