If we had the Internet of today, maybe they wouldn't have caved.

The point of the article was, in the last few weeks - they did!

That's just the last few weeks. The lame-duck Congress.

Thanks for your post. I never knew the details of how they got their licenses. It's shocking and appalling. The fact that the congress approved the national security bill without the Sennsenbrenner provisions just makes me physically ill!

Rush pointed out that Sensenbrennor was given a promise that a separate vote on drivers' licenses would be voted on early in the next, more conservative session. On that same day, Tom Ridge told Hannity that he agrees completely with Sensenbrennor about licenses, that it's a very serious matter, and that he's confident that Sensenbrennor will latch on to this issue like a bulldog [paraphrase].

It is very frustrating for us at this moment, however. Bush does waffle a lot, and his judgement is not perfect. [Consider raising the funding of the NEA, a complete loser of a stand on the NEA outrage. Also his unwillingness to recess appoint judges, although perhaps he wanted a more RINO proof majority before tackling judge appointments.] We'll just have to see.

Talk about no knowledge of history! Do you recall the great changes that occurred after the GOP won with the "contract with America" plan?

Name a couple.

(hint: There weren't any) The GOP reneged on the contract.

It's you that needs the history lesson.

I consider myself more of a conservative more than a Republican. If Bush goes through with his"amnesty" or "guest worker plan", me and my checkbook will head off to a "fringe" but conservative party. If that thinking on the part of a lot of other conservatives/anti-socialists gives us a Democratic Congress in '06, so be it. Hopefully the professional politicians will learn from it.

Yes I know.

You notice that the usual DELUSIONAL gang of doom and gloom. Those are the same morons who were absolutely sure of a Kerry landslide.

The political capital of the 2004 election belongs to the President. That the Republican Congress floats along like a rudderless ship is nothing new.
