"...wouldn't it be worth it to do what we can to provide said majority in the Senate this November..."

Do you know of any Senate candidates who are campaigning on strict conservative principles? Are there any Republican candidates who will oppose the types of liberal policies championed by our Republican president? (See post #963 for a brief list.) If not, what other evidence can you give us that a GOP majority will be any different?

The vast majority of truly conservative Republicans never even make it past the primaries, if they even make it that far. To bring about any real change, the Republican Party will need to be completely over-hauled. It is sheer fantasy to assume that GOP politicians will magically become conservative once they get elected. That is exactly the kind of twisted logic that has put us in the mess we're in now.

Apparently you didn't even read what I said in #973, becuz I was pointing out that the House-generated legislation is quite different than the Senate-generated legislation, and that is what indicates to me that working hard to put GOP Senators in control is worthwhile, IMHO.

"To bring about any real change, the Republican Party will need to be completely over-hauled."

I'm not denying that there are far too many RINOs in the Senate, but your proposal fer completely over-haulin' the GOP apparently is to elect DemonRATS...and that's cutting off yer nose to spite yer face!! The time fer over-haul is in the primaries, becuz any Senator who votes for Dasshole as Majority Leader is an anti-American Socialist PUNK and doesn't deserve anything other than our undying disgust!!
