Same deal here in Denver. Peter Boyles rails against Bush's sensible (in my humble opinion) guest worker plan, goes off on Republicans for weeks and weeks, influencing many, and now look what he has ended up with - SHAMNESTY from the DemocRATs! Duh!

It's like some of these clowns don't understand you only get 2 choices.

I'm not worried yet, I think the Dems are going to raise taxes and make catestrophically bad choices on the War, entitlements, spending, and general management of the Country, and the backlash in 2008 will be severe. Remember, the DemocRAT party was sinking fast these last few years, I think this is a momentary blip on their way to the bottom. Now, if we can get republicans who can LEAD...

Frist, Hastert, please step aside and let some LEADERS take charge.

I hope you are right about Dems victory being a blip. If not, God help us.

NOPE

Americans have been dumb for ages and I mean ages

Any screw ups caused by congress gets blamed on the president in a presidential election year and maybe rightly so in cases where he doesn't use the VETO

However in some cases where congress won't pass his programs etc he still gets blamed and the MSM will see to it

Some of these clowns? A disturbing number of FReepers are scandalized at the very idea! In the past few days, I've seen such inane comments as:

"Voting for the lesser of two evils is just stupid."

"I've been voting Republican for more than 30 years to 'make things better' and what did it get me?"

and ...

"Personally, I'd like to vote for something other than Bad or Worse."

My answer to that was, well, personlly, I'd like to eat a whole bag of miniature Almond Joys every day and get something other than fat and dumpy. But no, I have to either choose only one Almond Joy a day, or none. Bad or Worse, that's often the choice life gives you, and always has. Children sulk when they're faced with the reality of it. Grown-ups deal.

Too bad more Conservatives and Republicans didn't grasp the concept on Nov. 7, 2006.

We need Newt!
