Let's make a list and check it twice.
Want to give our funds to men or mice?

-- the power to determine whether they want the Republicans to be the majority party...

Amazing what a "little" corruption and deceit will do.

Appearances are deceiving. I was "agreeing" for sake of argument. The point is that Shays doesn't have a point, because his foundational assumption is that we don't own our own money.

It is interesting that 9 Democrats voted for the tax cut extentions yesterday.

What I'd like to know is how come the RATS can maintain NAZI strength party discipline while republicans act like a herd of cats?

This time, the opportunity for them to exert influence is greater than ever.

Just think of the influence they will have wielded when the '06 election comes. If the Republicans lose the House, the RINOs will be the ones responsible. When the Democrats take over, they will have to decide which they would prefer to be - back bench nobody Democrats with crappy committee assignments or members of the Republican minority with no power at all. What a bright future!

These "moderates" are leftists. Fred Barnes must be getting early stage Alzheimers.

There are no "moderates" in the Republican ranks. Most Republicans are pretty left of center, with a solid liberal ideology. Then you have the flaming liberals. Then you have a few Marxists.

There are no moderates, and there are no conservatives in the Republican ranks. Just various degrees of leftists.

We should just refuse to fund their re-election campaigns.

Just for the sake of argument, assume they don't rely on our money anymore. If they did, they would've never traveled the road they're on. The money they take into their chest from US, is a mere pittance. Blackbird.

Sickening. Might as well give those seats to the Democrats.

I'm surprised the democrats don't want to eliminate the estate tax. After all, IT IS FOR THE CHILDREN. (/sarcasm)

You must not follow current events and political records/votes/research/history.

1] Senator Santorum (RINO-PA) wants to give/follow the UN guidelines and give a fixed % of our GDP to global charity.

2] Senator Charles Grasley (RINO-IA) wants to force the oil indstry to give a fixed % of their profits to the poor.

3] Senator Bill Frist (RINO-TN) said he would accept a windfall profits tax on the oil industry.

Not what I said was FACT! You may be a RNC cheerleader and beleive the Republicans are all a bunch of Constitutionalists . . . go ahead and cheer all you want. You must like being in a fan club and screaming in line to get autographs of your idiols and such.

Yes sir, what I said is proved by FACT! Most Republicans [in Congress] are leftists.
