Where We Went Wrong

Washington Post ^ | Oct 29, 2006 | Dick Armey

[MikeA]

from passing welfare reform and limited government to banning horsemeat and same-sex marriage?

A REALLY tortured premise Dick. Here is what the GOP House tried to get done this year, and it's a lot more than horse meat and gay marriage as you so stupidly claim sounding ever so much like a deceitful Democrat, in this session of Congress but was then bottled up by Parliamentary obstruction tricks by Harry Reid and the Dems:

So stuff a sock in it Dick. Now is not the time for this. You're just making yourself a useful idiot for the Clown Car Media. If you had written a piece warning of the extreme left wing agenda that will come with a Pelosi controlled Congress, do you think the Washington Compost would have published it? But notice they are willing to publish you when you help further their "air of inevitability around a Democratic win" coverage of these elections? We can talk later about what needs to change in the GOP. We all agree we can't go back to the mistakes of this session of Congress. But a week before an important election is NOT the time to be having that discussion and to add fuel to our opponents' fire. Have some common sense you moronic hack! Sheesh. Did you really need some attention that badly?

While some in congress may be letting nancypelosi measure for drapes.......others are still fighting. Polls are not votes folks!

No doubt that the Senate, and Senate rules are a problem. That said, Armey has done good service to our country, and I have more respect for him than I do for Hastert. Period. As to being used by the MSM, I think the charge is unfounded. He sure didn't say vote for the RAT party did he? Yes, let's be clear as to what the RATs agenda is - it's an ugly picure isn't it? We STILL need to tell the voters WHY to vote FOR us, not just what's wrong with the other guys. We are short in that department IMO.
