EJ Dionne is a sissy boy. Reminds me of Mitt Romney.

Liberal E.J Dionne misses the larger story: conservatives have invigorated by their battle against the RINO liberal attempt to sell out the country. Its brought great unity among dispirited conservatives who seldom agree. He's an out of touch elitist who doesn't grasp that even if the GOP elites are on their political deathbed, the conservative movement in America is very much alive and fighting on its feet.

Mitt Romney, who has used heavy spending to push himself to the top in the Iowa and New Hampshire polls and had hoped to be the sole candidate of the conservative restoration. That would be funny, if it weren't so damned scary.
Imagine. The most liberal Governor ever being the "sole candidate of the conservative restoration."
That would be like Bill Clinton being "the sole candidate of marital fidelity."

His supporters are the core of the old Goldwater-Reagan fan club. Baring Barry's last years...that is good company.

Regarding the title, it calls to mind P. G. Wodehouse's famed observation in
Blanding's Castle:
One could see at a glance that he wasn't disgruntled; however, he appeared quite far from being entirely gruntled, either.

...a disappointed, dissatisfied and inward-looking coalition that abandons Reagan's hopefulness and tries to hang on by playing on fears of terrorism and anger about immigration. Dibs! Thanks E.J., we'll take the immigration issue. You Dems can own Amnesty. Come October 2008 the Dems will be running from Amnesty like a scalded dog.

What horsefeathers. The folks in Washington just decided they would rather pretend to be democrats. Democrats won the last election, after all. No doubt they expect to be popular with the moonbats who have been calling them nazis for the past 4 years straight at the top of their lungs. Well, it didn't work, those people still think they are nazis. But for the rest of us, if we are going to have democrats anyway, why not have the real thing? After their policies utterly fail, the country will be back. Not to the present crop of republican pols, though. They are toast, and good riddance.

“Disgruntled”? No, I’m madder than Hell and I’m not going to take it any more! If anyone thinks they are going to come along, and blow in my ear, and make nice, best they think again.

"What is the Republican Party?"
I, and many others, are now asking the same question.
My take is: Republicrat - there is little difference.

I am going in the other direction. Many of us are taking the chance to dump the faux conservatives. When will we have a better chance? Almost EVERYONE hates this bill.
I was upset in 2006, but I voted GOP, thinking that at least *I* had reliably conservative senators. Of course, those “reliable” senators stabbed Georgians in the back. Now we will take them out and get someone better. This issue is PERFECT to force things to the right.

I thought about it today: the ONLY reason I’m still a registered Republican right now is to support conservatives in the primaries. I might split after I vote for Fred, I don’t know.

Exactly what I’ve been thinking. Will register as an Independent.

Bill did run as a Southern moderate, remember. It took about one week after Inauguration for him to reveal his true colors.

It’s not just the Republican party; it’s the Democratic party too. The democrat people, not leaders, are just as concerned and mad. They know their party is selling them out too.
It is so misguided and such a lie to convience the American people that the illegals will vote for their party. They won’t. They will vote for their own party because they are here to conquer; not become Americans.
To: freekitty
Also, our leaders know that the Mexicans and any other illegal won’t vote along either party lines.

I thought about it today: the ONLY reason Im still a registered Republican right now is to support conservatives in the primaries.
The only reason I am still a registered Republican right now is so I get their fund raising letter. Then I return them with a brief message...Like 'Amnesty = NO dollars'. I figure they can ignore my letters, emails, and phone calls, but money...or, rather, the lack of money... gets their attention. If this bill becomes law, however, I will be looking for another political party...one with principles, for a change.
