Oh, probably not intentionally. My Guess is that the idiots in Washington have convinced themselves that 1) we'll vote for them because we've nowhere to go, '92 all but forgotton in their memories and 2) that they don't need conservatives.

To number one... HAHA!! No one blackmails me into voting for ANYONE. I've stated I won't vote for McCain in '08, I meant it. And I feel no pressure to vote for Reps that act as Liberals.

Most of these Republicans are embarrassed by conservatives anyway. How many of them even bother to defend us when Chuck calls us extremists? They don't, because they believe it too.

Let them try making the calls, walking the precincts and getting the votes without us with their Grand Moderate Army.

It appears that not a single one of you know how this game is played. These drilling options will be in the final reconciliation bill. This is just a stupid maneuver to allow vulnerable politicians to claim that they voted against ANWAR. Their votes will not be needed in the final bill, which only requires 50% approval. The budget will pass and ANWAR will be in it, but FReepers are still falling prey to MSNBC bull$hit, and it is getting embarrassing.

The President has twisted arms in the House before successfully with the appropriate bribes of pork.

However, I didn't say without Delay they couldn't twist the rebels. I noted that the problem with the House came in his absence. In short, the new "leader" is being tested by the RINO's. break their backs and they'll walk in line like good boys and girls, as they did with Delay. Give them an inch, and they'll take more. The question isn't whether they can do it, but whether they WILL do it.

I suffer from that as well. ;)

So was it when Nixon went down or Goldwater (or both)?

This is my second post on this thread. I'm so mad I couldn't get my mind of this issue. Just as the Republican party and Bush need to get back to the base, this happens.

When they finally do try for the base, and it's coming, they have lost me. I won't vote for a Democrat but I damn sure won't vote Republican either. Hell, why vote... You certainly don't get what you elected them to do.

Bush and his RINO buddies can kiss my...... never mind, you know what I want to say but I don't want to get banned.

Never ever have I seen such two faced wimps.

Rant over. Although I won't change my mind, I feel better because I know they follow FR and will read this. Hey wimps, it's too late.

And the GOP wonders why they didn't win the Va. governor's race, why Bush's poll numbers are so bad, etc. The conservative base is fed up with their spineless Republican leaders.

Quit wimping out! It's like many of our REpublican leaders want to emulate France.

Some consolation!

Both, actually. But it was worse for us when JFK was elected. To us, he seemed to personify evil east coast liberalism.

I do know that one of the GOP House members on the list of 25 is Mark Kennedy from Minnesota...

That is just amazingly disappointing, considering he's running for Mark Dayton's seat in the Senate. I just got done roasting Coleman twice for his ANWR opposition. Looks like I get to start all over again with Kennedy.

I do not know the politics if any that go on with the mods but if what you say is true, we may as well call it a day for the GOP because until and unless they 'feel' the outrage and change their 'tactics' their chances are slim in '06 and beyond.

I have never dissed my party here or anywhere else for that matter. However, I am getting very near the end of my rope with the lack of courage and spinelessness being displayed.

We have taken a tremendous hit with the BS from the Bush haters that is endlessly perpetuated by the MSM and finally had a chance to rebound this week and what do they let happen? Something like this that causes us 'loyals' to feel betrayed.

GOP gutless wonders. So do we have to import more oil from the Middle East to appease Princes, Kings and dictators? I guess the Repubs just don't care about anything exept the next election. But when it comes to a $286 Billion Transportaton Bill the vote is easy. Both Repubs and dems just like to spend our money as if they owned it, but when it comes to promoting new domestic energy sources, ultimately the consumer gets the shaft.

Ironically, this is one of the few times where the House voted the other way compared to the Senate.
