Well, well...........DU trolls signed up in '99 too, eh, laconic?
Any one who is either decent or pro-life, or pro-troops, still has a lot of respect for this strong President and Commander in Chief.
Guess that tells us all who YOU are, doesn't it?
I can't believe how willing some of you pseudo cons are to indict yourselves right out in the open.
I guess BDS removes a sense of shame too, eh?
For your own sanity, it's best to avoid them............in case their mental derangement is contagious. :)
And Big Tent GOP cultists who can always be counted on to help elect RINOs should provide us with some evidence that electing RINOs over and over again has ever produced anything but more RINOs.
"Idiots."
Actually, the definition of an idiot is a GOP lemming who continually pulls that "least worse" lever desperately hoping a real Republican will emerge.
Dipstick.
And plenty of conservatives did show up. However, corruption and the lack of any progress on traditional Republican agenda items, and a failure to motivate the Republican base (including, especially, conservatives), kept many "independents" and "undecideds" at home.
Conclusions:
"Rat-Lite" doesn't work.
The Republican leadership has learned nothing. Martinez (despised by conservatives) now heads the RNC, and Trent "Chester" Lott has been rehabilitated into a leadership post (conservatives consider Lott a "Fristian" loser, more interested in go-along-to-get-along than advancing traditional Republican principles).
By all means though, feel free to continue believing Republican losses were all the fault of conservatives. I know it makes you feel better.

We lost 20 good conservatives in the House and 4 good conservatives in the Senate. Who ever didn't vote for these conservatives, whether they be "independents", "undecideds" or conservatives is to blame.
Doesn't get much simpler than that.

Don't even try to put words in my mouth, dip-stick.
We lost only 1 or 2 RINO's in both the House and the Senate. We lost 20 good conservatives in the House (who weren't corrupt) and we lost four good conservative senators.
I don't see anybody advocating the electing of RINO's. What I do see are posters trying to convey to you that we lost good conservatives.
Yet you think from your above statement that there was some sort of RINO purge. Your cognitive dissonance is stunning.
I read your uninformed drivel the first time. No need to upchuck it again.
It would be helpful if you could find a way to have your posts actually make some sense.

LOL, simple to most. Admittedly over your head.
Then real total insanity will show up from many camps. This is mild. Lets not cast that stone so early.
You need to do your homework. For a start, you can take a look at this week's WSJ piece on Connecticut's (R) Governor and her stupid proposal to raise the personal income tax by 10%. This is but one example of the kind of nonsense that has demoralized the Republican base. And it isn't just confined to state houses, but runs rampant throughout the Republican leadership.
The solution is not to lose good Republican conservative congressmen as we did in '06.
Do you really disagree with that? (Yes or no)
Of course I agree that we do not want to lose good conservative congressmen. But (follow me now), not losing conservative congressmen is not the solution for the problem we have with the failure of the Republican leadership to motivate and inspire the base. You've got it backward. The base can only be motivated to turn out by a leadership dedicated to a true Republican agenda--not the one they all talk about but then abandon (ignore what they say--watch what they do.) Once motivated, the base will turn out in force, and it is that which is the solution to not losing good conservative congressmen.
His words in the bottom of this article are encouraging.
"I think the president is a good man," said Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif. "I'm optimistic he's going to pardon these guys...we are going to keep working. This is an extreme injustice and these guys have been given the equivalent of a murder sentence. Even if you accept every fact exactly as stated by the prosecuting attorney, the verdict handed out was an extreme injustice," he said. "They were given more time than the average convicted murderer."
Hunter also said he wants the administration to open an investigation into the attack on Ramos. He produced a letter which he had sent on Jan 17 - the day Ramos and Compean began their sentences - to Harley Lappin, the director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, asking that the two be separated from other prisoners "to ensure their safety."
An assistant to Lappin replied that the two men had been classified under the "Central Inmate Monitoring System" in an effort to afford additional protection. Nevertheless, Ramos was circulated back into the general prison population after being initially segregated, Hunter claimed. Since almost 30 percent of federal prisoners are criminal illegal aliens, many of whom are drug dealers, the agents face "substantial danger," he said.
Hunter said Lappin should be removed from his position for "ineptitude."
Pardon these men Bush! They're just doing their jobs!
