He'll spend every penny he has to defeat a pro-life, pro-2A gubernatorial candidate because said candidate allows exceptions for rape and incest on abortion. He's a new FReeper hero!
We can have 10 different right-of-center candidates and they'll each get about 5% of the vote on average and the Hildebeast-endorsed candidate can beat us all 50-5! Wahoo!
Second, I figured out a long time ago that I'm going to agree with about 70% of the Republican agenda and about 5% of the democrats agenda. Example being welfare reform. 70% I can live with, 5% I don't want to go back there.
The bottom line is the judiciary. If the House goes back to the dems or we don't win the Senate, none of the true conservative nominees are going to get approval in the Senate. Everything else can be challenged in the courts, but if we lose the House/Senate, there's not a prayer in the world that a true conservative would make it to a Federal Appelate Court or the Supreme Court.
Does anybody honestly believe that CFR would have passed had it not been for the Enron grandstanding that's been done, primarily by the dems in congress? I don't. Does anybody honestly believe that GWB would have had to compromise on his education bill and give up on vouchers if we had control of both the House and the Senate? I don't.
I like a lot of what President Bush has done. The tax cuts, telling the Kyote (sp?) Treaty people to take a flying leap, authorizing federal dollars for stem cell research ONLY on those cells that have already been destroyed. Restoring respect to the White House. Restoring respect to our Military.
Let me tell you, these last two items go a long way in my book toward my support of President Bush. We no longer have to see slobs in sweatpants and t-shirts showing up for a meeting with x42. We no longer have to wonder about what's really going on in the Oval Office with the interns. The sinks won't have to be replaced when GWB leaves office and you can bet there won't be any pornographic pictures left on copy machines or computer and telephone equipment vandalized. The day he got off the helicopter and was trying to round up one of the dogs that wasn't behaving, and he actually came back to salute that young Marine sealed it for me. The #1 job of the Federal Government is and always has been National Defense. If the people doing the defending haven't got an ounce of respect for their CIC we're toast.
So McCain's unconstitutional legislation can be his legacy after that portion of the bill gets booted. Am I thrilled that it's apparantly not going to be vetoed? Nope!
So, are we going to complain for the next eight months and then two more years and help get Hillary or Daschle or Edwards elected? I'm not. I love a good fight, but like the President, I choose my battles or I just look like an obstructionist. Sound familiar?
I have 100% faith that if Bush can actually get support from both the House and the Senate for his agenda, you'll see the President you thought you elected on more than just respect for the military and the office he holds.
I have zero interest in doing whatever I can to vote for the likes of Buchanan or Perot or Keyes just to teach them (the Rino's) a lesson. I'd much rather focus on getting rid of the problems and taking my chances that a true conservative agenda can then take shape without a Kennedy, Daschle, Edwards road block at every turn.

On offices that have runoffs (in many states ALL of 'em except President) we will have one that gets 5.1% and goes on to beat her in the run-off.
And the beauty of it is, when we win IT ACTUALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE! A substantial difference. Unlike now, in which our only choice involves how fast socialism advances.

By the way, if you don't live in Illinois, you probably wouldn't understand what the current Republican Administration has done to our great State, the Land of Lincoln. Jim Ryan has had his entire term in office as Attorney General, to investigate and prosecute the License for Bribes Scandal. The key to this question is that he didn't, and a federal prosecutor had to come in and do Ryan's job.
This was a major embarrassment for our State, and it became obvious we weren't getting our tax dollar's worth out of him. Hundreds of thousands of dollars was placed into George Ryan's campaign chest from the License for Bribes Scandal and a Pastor and his wife had to watch their 5 children die in a fiery van because a truck driver with an illegal license wasn't being careful. We don't deserve these clowns in office; we need someone like Pat O'Malley. If you don't live in Illinois, you probably wouldn't understand. The Illinois GOP is suffering because they placed George Ryan, a RINO Republican into office, and Jim Ryan won't be any different. Besides the License for Bribes Scandal, what has Jim Ryan done about the money laundering going on in Jesse Jackson's Chicago-based Rainbow/Push Coalition? The answer is nothing because he is too much of a coward to do anything. If Jim Ryan can't do his job as Attorney General of Illinois, I don't want him in the Governor's office either.
Some people would rather jump off the slippery slope with the rest of the Lemmings instead of trying to put a true conservative in office.
