If this frighten the heck out of folks, I don't know what will. If you are represented by Bennie Thompson in Mississippi at least you're in a position to mitigate the possible damage. All Republicans can vote in the Dem primary where Chuck Espy is trying to upset Congresman Bennie Thompson in the Dem primary. There will be no Republican Primary vote that day for that race since there is only one Republican running. Having Thompson as head of the Homeland Security committee is not something I don't wish to contemplate. Epsy will make a 100 percent better Congressman than Thompson if Epsy is finally elected.

It gets worse -

Barney Frank would chair the House Financial Services Committee
Maxine Waters would chair the Financial Institutions Subcommittee
John Murtha would chair the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee
Pete Stark would chair the Health Subcommitte of Ways and Means, which oversees Medicaid

If the chips fall right for Democrats and their party seizes control of the House, President Bush's agenda on Capitol Hill would fall into the hands of some of his most dogged opponents.

If this (doesn't) frighten the heck out of folks, I don't know what will.

It better scare GWB, if the Dems gain control of the House I don't think there is any question about it, if it is at all possible, the Dems will be impeach him.

But GWB would rather listen to, and appease the illegals than listen to his voters, secure the border and elect Republicans.

Why can't we secure our borders NOW?

[claudiustg]

Surely the White House took all of this into account when they decided to push their benefit package for illegal aliens.

[catholicfreeper]

I agree that Bush will be facing the most stupid investigations if the Dems get in. I have not been following the Murtha race perhaps he is vunerable too but I dont know.

When I was a young fella back in Greenville, Ms. and in the 40's my daddy told me 'son, there are three things, no, four things in life you must never do. 1. Never trust a used car salesman with the name of 'Big Hearted Eddie', 2. Never stay in a motel with 'vacancy' paint on the side wall. 3. Never move to a town you can't spell 4. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER trust a politician.

[Enchante]

This is why every House election in 2006 must be made 'national' -- voters must understand that electing even 'moderate' Democrats could well mean that the most radical leftists will take over the Congress entirely. Yes, I know how frustrated most of us are with current Republican leadership, but the solution must be to make the Republicans better, not to turn things over to the depraved likes of Pelosi, Conyers, Dingell, Barney Frank, et al.

[catholicfreeper]

You mentioning Greenville has got me thinking of those famous tamales they sell there. When I go up to Merigold to visit my relatives next week I have to stop off there.

Be Afraid, Very Afraid...

For those of you carping on Bush's immigration stance, you have a point... I agree.

But in any election, it is basically a choice between 2 evils. Who will do the least damage? And I would argue that the Republicans would.

How do we do that?

[ruschpa]

Always vote for the more conservative in the primaries... but when it comes to the actual election.

It comes down to who will do the least damage? And I would argue that the Republicans would.

If he's not an incumbent, he'll lose.

That doesn't change anything.

[ruschpa]

Of course it does... would you rather have the clowns led by Pelosi running the House?
I'm not happy with Republicans in the Congress either, but the Democrats would be an unmitigated freaking disaster. There is worse than what we have now...

[stands2reason]

I was originally responding to the poster who said "we have to make the Republicans better."

I asked "how," and you responded.

I didn't mean "better than the Dems" but "better than they are now."

Too many people, Freepers even, are content with the libs in the party. Not me.

[Tinian]

How do we do that?

Answer: By teaching them a lesson, just like we did to Bush 41.

Let the Democrats win the House. Let the Democrats win the Senate. Let America elect a two-term Democrat President (preferably Hillary).

After ten years of Democrat rule, Americans will finally wake up and forcefully embrace their traditional conservative core values.

After which, the left will become just another part of our history.

You know, there is a big gap between that and worrying Chafee (ACU rating =12% same as Hillary's) might not win his primary.


Aww, we can't lose Chafee! I mean, he has an "R" by his name! (/R-bot mode)

[Tinian]

To quote Tip O'Neill, all politics is local.

Get off your dead a$$. Get involved at the grass roots level. See to it that District Committee members who share your principles are nominated--and elected. Work with others in other districts.

Cull the crud before it even gets to the Primaries. Then cull it again in the Primaries.

And quit whining like a Democrat.

[george76]

If Democrats win the House...

John Conyers will take over the Judiciary Committee and he has promised to launch impeachment hearings.
