Okay, let's suppose we all go to the polls and hold our noses and vote for the republican candidates. You will admit, that some of these candidates are not the best we can come up with, I hope.

So what kind of laws can we expect from the people who smell but at least are labeled with the big (R). What kind of honor and integrity can we expect from the less than ideal candidates. How much of the nations treasure should we expect to be looted or spent on corrupt constituents or special interests?

Let me put this idea to you, what if Senator Robert Byrd and/or Ted kennedy decided to run on the republican ticket, would you support them? They would be carrying the big (R) label. What would you do, just hold your nose and pull the lever?

Well, do you actually believe that all of your ideal candidates will ever get elected? Or, as far as that goes, any of them at all? And do you like the legislation being produced now? Your method (allowing more democrats to get elected) will never produce change for the better.

Hey, by the way, I heard that Kennedy is now a Libertarian. You got one. Congrats.

I didn't mention what sort of legislation they would pass. I talked about judgeships .

I'm not a mindreader, nor a fortuneteller; what I am is a life long student of politics and a political / news junkie, who has known / knows some of the players. Based on that, I can tell you that with a GOP majority, in both Houses, the things, that the president sends down, will get passed. It's monkey see, monkey do AND a desire to go a;ong, in order to get on the " right " committees/ get the chairmanship of the one they want. It's ALWAYS been so.

There are , unfortunately, many , with an R after their names, that I'd like to get rid of. First things F-I-R-S-T ; get rid of the Dems !

Please, don't degrade yourself, any more than you already have done. Kennedy, Clinton, Byrd, etc. wouldn't switch parties and you should know that. :-)

Oh, here's a hunch ... we could see a ban on partial birth abortion, with GOP majorities and this president. Now, you have TWO inscentives to get Republicans, of any and ALL stripes elected.
