Yes, they could, if folks will actually get out there and vote for them. I don't espouse the "let's let the Republicans lose and we'll teach them" frame of mind. I fear for our country's security with ANY Democrat in the White House, but especially Her Heinous. I also fear for this country's laws since the first thing that will happen after she's sworn in is that at least two, and possible three, of the Supremes will retire so SHE can name their replacements.
Thanks to President Bush's two newest justices, we've only just begun crawling out of the hole the liberal activist Supremes have been digging for the last 40 years. At least a Republican, even a RINO, who wants to be re-elected, might be responsive to his constituency and select Conservative justices. Of course, this hinges on our getting more conservatives in the House and Senate in order to fight the liberals who would be arrayed against ANY Republican president. We conservatives, who no longer have a favorite Presidential candidate for whom we might have worked, can now concentrate on the Congressional races.
Fred Thompson’s entrance into this race is only now revealing the damage to the Republican chances of a win against the Demorats. He took votes away from more viable candidates that and allowed McCain to win S.C.. Thompson is the Ross Perot of this race. We’re screwed!!
"Might" makes me feel so much better....
Look, I'm really not arguing with your points, but how many conservatives are going to swallow all their pride and vote for what amounts to a liberal in sheeps clothing? RINO at best? It's not even the mindset of crawling through broken glass.....more like being dragged through it to the polls.
You trust the standing crop a lot more than I do. But maybe one of them will earn my vote. That's the ONLY way that candidate can get it. Period.
