You are correct in theory. But that assumes the Republicans in power are willing to stand up and fight for conservative ideals and people. They are not. They are cowards. They give us a couple tax cuts, and then W signs the CFR act which basically wipes out our freedom of speech.

Now, I have not yet completely determined what I will or will not do for the upcoming election. I doubt I will be putting as much effort into this election cycle as others in the past.

But, I am confused about your post:

Exactly what are the long term goals of the Republican party? Can you tell me? I certainly do not know and I am considered a political junkie. So far we have had a couple tax cuts, which is a good thing, and the WOT, which is a good thing.

We have also had the Education spending bill, designed to appease Kennedy.

We have had the SCOTUS tell us sodomy is a constitutionally protected right and W said nothing.

We have had the Prescription Drug bill, designed only to garner the senior vote.

We have had Tom Ridge now advocate the amnesty of millions of illegals, just to get the Hispanic vote.

And now we have had the first step in our eventual loss of freedom of speech.

So, are Republicans now the big spending party? Are they now the party that condones breaking the law (illegals)? Are they the party that is just going to sit back and watch the Constitution be completely destroyed? Sure looks that way.

So I ask again: What are their long term goals?

You talk about Supreme Court Justices. This is vitally important as the SCOTUS is destroying our country. Yet, the Republicans in the Senate, and the President, have yet to show me they are willing to fight for their appointees. The Senate Republicans in particular have no backbone. What is going to change that? A few more seats?

I just do not see any backbone transplants coming.

I have not seen ANYTHING coming from W or the Congressional Republicans that things will change. The occassional sound bite, but that't it. No backbone.
