2006 is NOT 2008. No president will be elected in 2006, and the best spur to conservatives for '08, might be to kick some of the RINO deadwood out of the way in '06.

Can't agree with you more. Too many pansies here whining about Dim takeovers as they watch their GOP idols sell yank the run right out from under them. They seem perfectly content to die from slow strangulation rather than just laying things on the table and having an all out brawl!

I'd be willing in a mid-term election to kick these GOP bastards that have turned their backs on conservatives and on conservative ideology in the nads and risk a Senate flip for a couple of years simply to "set us up" for some real forward movement in '08. Now's the time to do it!!! NOT in '08 when the new president may be a DimLib.

Oh boo-freakin'-hoo, tax cuts aren't continued for a few years. What's worse, a couple of years of a loss of tax cuts or the permanent turning of our entire nation into a socialist failed project for decades, perhaps forever and likely throughout the rest of most of our lives?!?!

The shortsightedness on the parts of many is absolutely stunning!

The GOP needs a hearty kick in the ass with a pair of spiked shoes!

It should be clear to anyone that has a brain and an ounce of common sense that the direction of this nation if we let our leaders continue on the way that they've been allowed to, is clearly to become more liberal and socialistic!

Once the fruits of this latest Senate bill begin to emerge, that's it. It's over. Socialism has begun! And it'll be those that are currently under 50 or so that'll be picking up the tab in the future. So for those of you 50 or under, you may as well just get used to indirectly supporting another family or two, in all likelihood Mexican yet living within the U.S.

I need to know that I'm not electing demokkkrats when I vote for a third party candidate.

Oh come on please!! Do you truly believe that a self-servant such as McCain is really that much different from a "moderate Dim"? Spare me!

Let us assume that those are his reasons, would not the good and decent thing to do, be to state plainly and clearly (in the 04 election) that his goal as president was to unite Canada, Mexico and the US into one superstate and then let the people decide if that was the direction they wanted to take THERE country.

The Bush family has been pushing the NWO agenda for some time now and always the NWO agenda is pushed under some other name. How about an honest debate for once?

If you are comfortable voting for someone who advocates slowly sawing off your head over someone with a sharp scimitar, more power to you.

I'll vote for someone who will fight the beheaders.

Maybe I'll lose, but I won't vote for anyone who wants my own destruction, just for the dubious privilege of selecting between a fast or lingering death.

The thing is, if you just stay home, your voice isn't heard. If on the other hand every conservative who was a both a social and fiscal conservative voted for the Constitution Party, we would easily get more votes than the Republicans.

Sorry I have been gone all morning so I am late to reply to you. (We are laying down 4 yards of mulch in the yard today, and my husband can't do it without some help.)

No, this isn't a presidential year, but if the democrats gain control of the Senate, we will see no more conservative judges passed through. They will hold all of them up or vote them down. Period.

So, this is an important election in that we must keep getting good judges and cannot do so if the democrats take control. I understand your frustration, but you need to see the situation for what it is. We need both the presidency AND the Senate in order to get those judges. That's just the way it is.

If this year is the "year of the liberals", it is because of the Republicans in power and their record level socialistic and globalistic spending. This could become the year of the Constitution Party where conservatives replace liberal Republicans and Democrat incumbents with conservative Constitutionalists along with other non-incumbents (including non-incumbent Republicans, independents, and Libertarians).

I'll support the Constitution because of their well spelled out platform. It's far closer to the founders and framers intent than the two power parties are. IF the GOP was not so corrupted with Liberals who are using the GOP to protect their corporate interest and nothing more then the GOP would be able to return a good distance right of the DEMs.

When Hillary Clinton is comfortable making speeches to the right of a GOP POTUS and most of the GOP senate there is a major problem in the GOP.

From the sound of things the GOP still isn't listening especially with McCain and Rudi being mentioned as possible POTUS candidates. Republicans forget it was the founder of the Constitution Party and Conservative Caucus who helped organize the Conservative grass roots movement that put the GOP back in power to start with. Yet they call such as him a Judas to the cause? Who sold who out? The GOP sold out a year after taking power and Bob Dole lost.

That would be the better course.

Sadly, pretty much anyone at that level of politics thinks of the rest of us as children.

The only real differences are that some think of us as their own children, and do things for our own good without feeling any particular need to explain why (Because I'm your mom, and I said so!) and some think of us as incipient juvinile delinquents who need to be controlled for their own good.

The Constitution Party is, among other things, virtually pacifist regarding the War on Terror.

The Constitution Party is neither pacifist, nor pro-Islamofacist. A constitution party-led government would have kicked Afghanistan's behind, and the outcome wouldn't have been an Islamic state that imprisioned and threatened to execute a Christian convert.

Would they have gone into Iraq? Probably not. I'll leave it up to you to decide how that whole "depose Saddam Hussein and try and build a middle eastern democracy so we can sway Muslims away from terrorism through prosperity" foreign policy is working out.

You would think that the social conservatives would care about what Judges that our President might appoint to the Courts *maybe even the SCOTUS* during his final 2 YEARS of his term. And what a Rat controlled Congress might do to the type of people that he will be able to nominate. Throw your little hissy fit now, and hopefully you'll all come to your senses before the midterms. "Cutting off your nose to spite your face" comes to mind when I read these immature rants. We have RINOs from some states because the people in these states are NOT conservative and they WILL NOT elect a conservative. Deal with it.

For some people this is more than about simple politics. It's actually about the health and welfare of our nation. The GOP won't lose the House this fall and W stays. So big deal, we lose a Senate that is lib anyway, GOP included in large measure!

The whining and blubbering is on the side of those taking your argument. At this rate the GOP will be a carbon copy of the Dim party during the Clinton years in another decade. Boy howdy, won't that be great!

The problem is less "who's in office" vice what's happening in politics at large, namely the firm entrenching of self-servants into positions of power. If something isn't done about that, and post haste, then we'll be able to start kissing quite a bit good bye pretty soon. The government is fast not becoming "of the people, by the people, and for the people," but "of the people, by the government, and for the government." Somehow I fail to see this as the vision that the Founding Fathers had.

So so what, the Dims take the Senate where all we get is Dim/lib policy and bills anyway. BOO HOO! So what, let 'em try to impeach W. If that's what the Senate spends its time on between '06 and '08, then great. W hasn't shown much of anything since his first couple of years and certainly a disappointing second term to date, and his position on immigration may as well be Hillary or Kennedy in office!

But maybe having a Dim Senate may slap enough Americans in the face to do something in the '08 elections! If not, well, then pucker up and bend over trying to shove your head between your legs!

This (open borders) is a defining issue either we are a nation of laws with borders and citizens or we are not. The globalists want to end the USA and replace it with a North America Economic Zone. Our Constitution will be null and void, replaced with International trade agreements and International law. What we the citizens of the Republic formerly known as the United States of America will get is bigger more totalitarian government, more crime and higher taxes. No thank you, I think I'll keep the USA and it's Constitution.

OK I'll mark your words, and you mark mine.

2006 is the wake-up call to GOP Presidential Candidates. If the call doesn't come, they distance themselves from conservatives and run in the center.

But if the Wake up call does come, they look hard to the Right, and run to the conservative Base. Mark My words.

Fully agree. As well, many of those whining, and not suggesting that your sparing partner was, but many of those that whine the loudest on this fail to realize that the Dims, particularly senate Dims, are no more popular than the President at this point. Many far less so. Yet, just like opposing politicians they run and cower from them as if they're loved by the citizenry.

Many people left the Dim party since 9/11 and it wasn't so that they could see the borders turn into turnstyle type access.

There are only three RINOS up for re-election.

Snowe (ME) is safe as can be.
DeWine (OH) is in a battle
Chafee (RI) is in a battle with a Conservative in the primary who has zero chance of winning the general election

That's it for RINOS to take it out on in 2006 in the Senate. Basically, DeWine is it.

By the way, why are these wackos not recruiting exclusively from Democrats? Why are they not spending 10 hrs a day on DU rather than FR?

And why do they not pursue 1/3 of state legislature seats first so that they have candidates qualified in the legislative process? Note that this means . . . not just pursue. Win. These Democrat-funded efforts have no business in statewide elections until they prove their viability by winning 1/3 of state legislative seats.

"Sadly, pretty much anyone at that level of politics thinks of the rest of us as children. "

Agreed, one thing for the life of me I can not figure out, is why Bush appoints good judges that will defend the Constitution and at the same time pursues policies that subvert that same Constitution. It drives me crazy trying to figure out where Bush is coming from. Yea, Harret Miers, I know, I know. Could be Bush is really clueless and shooting from the hip most of the time. I am slowly beginning to think that is the only explanation that make sense. Certainly he is without any governing philosophy that I know of.

[ No, but this talk plus stupid talk from the liberal-tarians about a third party might make things just right for a rat take over. ]

The rats have ALREADY taken over.. They have taken over the republican party.. Not completely yet, but soon.. You do know the republican party WILL run a RINO in 2008 for President, don't you.. A RINO to replace the current RINO.. Republicans generally seem to LOVE RINOs.. else they would not elect so MANY OF THEM..

Great points in post #59!!!

Votes would actually be wasted if conservatives do vote for the GOP and most lose anyway. Or those that win would have won otherwise.

Meanwhile, no message would have been sent cementing the notions that these assclowns can continue to do whatever they want with political impunity while we are taken for fools that will always vote for them out of fear.

Well I consider voting for them tantamount to voting for the DimLibs of yesteryear, say in the '70s and '80s, perhaps even '90s.

Not this voter and his family!

Pretty much. He trusts his instincts. Usually his instincts are good, but they are not on a conscious thinking level.
