So, what I get from this, is that even when the people have voted to have a Republican majority, they should still vote like the Democrats want them to.

Liberals really don't understand democracy.

. Unfinished business from 2001 would be up first: permanent repeal of the estate tax; permanent institution of the income-tax cut; passage of Bush's energy plan (including provisions to drill in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge); a partial-birth abortion ban; money for the technically unfeasible national missile defense system;

repeal of the Alternative Minimum Tax; redefinition of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule that protects more than 50 million acres of federal land from logging; and a welter of special-interest corporate tax breaks that didn't make it into Bush's big cut.

He says it like it's a bad thing...

...tax cuts that would bankrupt Washington ...

This is all I need to read to know what side this writter is on.

This is too much swamp to wade through. But I picked this piece of flotsam out of the mire:

Republicans are increasingly sure that their larger war chests and a late-campaign public focus on national security threats will keep them in power.

Do you see the implication? The Fat Cats stay in power only because they have more money and because they manipulate the War on Terror to their political advantage. It couldn't be because the people are sick of liberal mismanagement and are scared to death that the pantywaist Left might be in control when the next threat emerges.

”...no issue will matter unless the Democratic Party gives voters a real reason to vote against the Republicans...”

The REAL issue here is the people of South Dakota have a loose cannon for a senator, one who will side with the United Nations and Germany over their President; one who is bound and tied to the Unions; Tom Daschle says one thing for SD and another for the country. He has stalled important bills in the Senate long enough and in fact is helping the terrorists. He has failed to lead, instead bows to special interest. South Dakota needs a real American as their Senator, not a Clinton YES man! One who voted to raise the Clinton Social Security taxes; take away those taxes and the seniors can pay for their own prescription drugs! America doesn’t need another expensive, bureaucratic entitlement!

Clean out the deadwood South Dakota, vote for a man who will work for you and the nation, vote for Rep. John Thune.

So if Johnson loses, and the Democrats don't win elsewhere, then, for the first time since 1953, the GOP would control both Congress and the White House for at least two years. Throw in the Supreme Court, and Republicans will have won control of the entire federal government for the first time since 1929. With that kind of power, it would take only a few years for the Republican Party to fundamentally reshape American government in ways that can't be undone no matter which party wins in 2004

Damn, that sounds good to me.

Poooor democRATs. They are sooo funny when they are out of power. They scare the crap out of me when they are in power though.

[robertpaulsen]

"...Democratic Party gives voters a real reason to vote against the Republicans..."

And the reason for this tactic is that they cannot give a real reason to vote for democRATS.

[Notforprophet]

But those four months of one-party rule were nothing compared to what the real deal will be like if the GOP wins back the Senate this fall. Unfinished business from 2001 would be up first: permanent repeal of the estate tax; permanent institution of the income-tax cut; passage of Bush's energy plan (including provisions to drill in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge); a partial-birth abortion ban; money for the technically unfeasible national missile defense system; repeal of the Alternative Minimum Tax...

Well dang, those things all sound good to me...

Let's Roll!

South Dakota huh?

"Today's GOP is more ideologically coherent and more politically disciplined than at any point in the party's modern history--enough, in fact, to overcome slim congressional majorities and lack of a public mandate. The party's few congressional moderates are cowed and marginal; its leadership is almost exclusively Southern and conservative. Today's GOP is also an activist party, with a sweeping and, in some respects, radical conservative agenda for reversing the existing political order."

I wish.

[joyful1]

No. Lincoln Chaffee, RI republican (in name only, his heart is pure liberal dem), will pull a jumpin Jim Jeffords, for certain.

If the GOP gains by one vote, Chaffee will jump.

BYOB

"...--from more tax cuts that would bankrupt Washington for decades,..."

What an insufferable idiot.

This sums up the mentality of these droolers perfectly. They have NO concept whatsoever of extra-Constitutional, bloated government. The very idea of cutting bureaucracy is to such people as garlic is to vampires. It just FLOORS me how hell-bent these idiots are to forge their own chains.

It's also why I literally hate them to my core.

[sweetliberty]

" With that kind of power, it would take only a few years for the Republican Party to fundamentally reshape American government in ways that can't be undone no matter which party wins in 2004"

Works for me. How could they possibly cause more damage than the liberals already have? VOTE THE RATS OUT!

[ArneFufkin]

There's no total control of the Federal government unless there are 60 votes to end Democrat filibusters in the U.S. Senate. The GOP will never have 60 in it's Senate caucus, and it would need 65 to get 60 conservatives.

There's no TOTAL CONTROL of anything, the Clinton mob had 8 years to pack the Federal Judiciary with Marxists, and to pack the Executive Agencies with saboteurs and criminals.

[Libloather]

With that kind of power, it would take only a few years for the Republican Party to fundamentally reshape American government in ways that can't be undone no matter which party wins in 2004--from more tax cuts that would bankrupt Washington for decades, to a continued unilateralist foreign policy that would wreak further havoc on international institutions, to judicial precedents that would permanently cripple the ability of the federal government to grapple with social and economic problems.

Bankrupt Washington? They're starting to flip out. (And just wait until the scores of Libdem/Chicom perp walks begin...)

It's not SD that the Dems should be worried about but NJ.

Go Doug! Go Doug!

"GOP "One Vote Away" From Total Control"

Sounds good to me - Let's go for it !!!

[stands2reason]

Today's GOP is also an activist party, with a sweeping and, in some respects, radical conservative agenda for reversing the existing political order.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
