I am curious as to what there is to love about Bush's stunning ability to protect us from terrorist attacks. I consider it dumb luck so far, given that we have no idea of what terrorist strength or weakness is within our borders. If they are out of juice we will never know it, we will keep getting fed an alert now and then. If they are planning something we will only find out about it after the fact.

If terrorist are waiting for equipment they won't have a problem having it delivered right to their front door by UPS. If they want to come across our borders, no sweat. If we are counting on the F.B.I.'s ability to track and catch them in the nick of time, oh brother. If we are counting on the I.N.S., saint's preserve us.

It is more than mildly curious that when the Democrats win by a slim majority they yell "MANDATE" at the tops of their lungs and push through their agendas. When Republicans win by the same margin they wimper that they must legislate from a left of center position, then move as far left as they dare.

Like you I pushed both non-voters and democrats at work to get out and vote Republican, I only managed five that actually did go to the polls that would not have. Unlike you I did it already knowing what would happen with Repubicans in charge of the Presidency, Congress, and the Senate....a swan dive off the left side of the diving board.

I only put forth the effort to ensure they win so a point would be made and the evidence glaring. The Republican Party is no place for a conservative unless they grit their teeth, hold these dummies feet to the fire, or punish the party by not voting for it, making it face immediate extinction, rather than the future extinction it fears for lack of minority votes that they have no intention of addressing by enforcing the laws of the land, and no chance of out pandering the Democrats to attain.

The price the party would have to pay in principle to move far enough left to attain these, at present, few squalled votes is just too high a cost as far as many conservatives are concerned.

So when do we get cracking with the "hold their feet to the fire" thing? Shouldn't we engage in some activism? Daylight is burning.

Many ex-terrorists are dead now. The ones that are left are hiding or running and have had much of their funding stopped. We were attacked, numerous times. We are at war,our enemies are and will be destroyed. Where exactly have you been?

I remember Rush saying that he would quit the Republican party, if and when they won control of all branches of govt, and they did not enact a conservative agenda. Am I wrong?
