Getting RINOs out of the GOP sounds good for the Party and the Country. Strength in 1994 took the Party from a weak, back-seat position to a leadership one. Being weak now puts us in the trunk.

The strong front seat driver was that guy Gingrich, which pretty well proves Simmons' point. Don't try to narrow the field too soon, or we will regret that lack of viable choices to oppose Hillary.

And, please don't try to teach us more lessons. I note that some thought turning Congress over to Democrats would instill in them the responsibility that usually accompanies leadership and control. Boy, were some people fooled. Many suckers were born on election day back in 2006.

And you will note that some Republicans have not been reaching for the taxpayer's checkbook so readily and there are rumors, perhaps unfounded, that President Bush has located the veto pen. If we get a President Hilary the Republicans just might separate themselves from the Democrats again.
