LOL What nonsense. Sorry, I don't have that power. The credit for the defeat of the GOP on election day 2006, belongs to Bush, Hastert, Frist, Boehner, Blunt and the other dolts in the GOP leadership. Period. My decision was to vote straight Republican, just like I have for 34 years. That's what counts. Standing up and speaking out against poor leadership and failed domestic policy was also my decision. Like the Senate bill S.2611, and its later incarnations, a liberal immigration reform proposal that Bush has supported from day one. Not HR4437 that the House approved, and then allowed to die in conference. My right of free speech as an American citizen, enables me to speak out against the anti-conservative agenda being advanced by the GOP in WashDC. I see there remain numerous FReepers still in denial as to why Nov7th was such an historic loss for the GOP. Amazing! If you liberal-moderate-centrist Republicans keep acting so irresponsibly, 2008 will be a bigger loss then 2006 was. Conservative members of the GOP are fed up with big government Republicans. They expressed that disapproval on election day, and rightfully so.
The fact that you spoke up against the GOP (A.K.A. the same party that HADN'T attempted to pass this law in the years it held power), made you the Democrats "useful idiot" and helped to turn undecided or marginal voters against the Party that you yourself voted for!
If undecided or swing voters, perceive that the party's own self-described "base" thinks that the party sucks, why would they vote for it!
The idea (linked above) is to NOT ALLOW the Democrats to take power BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!!!
Your actions, and your self-righteous behavior helped propel this loss.
Hint...the more that we were attcked by Democrats, the more you should have defended the GOP.
You did not, and now...
