Rick Santorum is no wimp. He brought out the dangers we face. So why did he lose?

ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE

He wasn't kidding about the spelling errors! Not good in a press release.

Many American voters have decided arab muslims are not constitutionally capable of civil, peaceful, democratic self-rule.

But it is possible. Turkey has proven that. And Mr Bush rightly recognizes that the successful spread of freedom in the ME is the only way to lift the people away from hopeless fundamentalism

The media has beaten President Bush like a red headed step child for years and the people who listen to them and believe them voted against anything Republican.

The GOP needs some testosterone pills and a spine. They've been letting the Liberals run the show for the past six years instead of fighting back. Now, all of us have to pay the price. IMO, it's time to use the Liberals tactics of obstructionism on them for the next two years. And, it's way past time to investigate all the corruption that is the Liberal Democrat Party.

When Denny Hastert, Speaker of the House, demanded all evidence collected from William Jefferson's office, (d. La), be returned and that the Justice Dept had no authority to search House offices,

that was the end (imo) for many voters.

If Hastert, Speaker of the House, had said he supported the Justice Dept and wanted to see immediate indictments (have there been any?) and the House ethics would hold immediate hearings on the Suspension and Removal of William Jefferson, then...

I think many would have said, "Well done!".

Instead they said, "It stinks!"

It's not dead. It's just pining for the fiords.

If I read you right, we should grab the Iraq oil fields and protect them as US interests. I agree. Using the US military as the policeman to the world doesn't work, nation building doesn't work and spreading democracy to the Islamic world is an effort in futility. Free trade is great, globalism sucks!

Yeah, but I fear Satan will be ice skating to work well before that happens.

I didn't even bother to read much beyond the headline.

The GOP is not dead.

"Human Events" - so dour.

Yeah and he didn't take his loss too well either. He refused to congratulate Walberg and then announced that he was running as a write in the day before the election.

My district sent Dave Camp back for another term. I did send him an e-mail today saying I would appreciate a conservative being elected for Minority Leader in the House.

cow-towing to the far right

The idjit doesn't even know how to spell kowtowing and we're supposed to take his article seriously (seriesly for those in Rio Linda)?
