We'll see. After more senate defections and/or a few votes, you'll be racing about drooling and gnashing your teeth over the perfidy of "the traitors". Then you'll progress to your Chicken Little phase.

We've seen it before.

The GOP should reconsider boots on the ground. Boots on the ground requires overwhelming force to defeat, disarm, occupy and control the enemy [ala WW II]. For whatever reason, we did not muster enough troops to do that. Either do it now, or reconsider the strategy. Without overwhelming force slogging it out on mined roads, surrounded by snipers, is bleeding the troops.

So true. I've been on FR for 8 years, and I've heard of this before. Alot of these freepers are always ranting and raving about how politicians have the "gall" not to take them seriously when they scream "treason" and vow to vote "all of them" out of office. Here's why:

===================================================== FREEPERS IN '99: "I can't believe these RINO TRATIORS would let Clinton off the hook!!! This is INEXCUSIBLE!!! I will NEVER, EVER AGAIN support ANY Republican who voted to save Clinton's presidency!! I don't care WHO they are!! These people have DESTROYED our Republic and are UNFIT to hold any office of trust again!!"
FREEPERS DURING THE NEXT ELECTION: "Hey, that Congressman Peter King guy sounds really good the way he supports our troops and defends OUR President. He voted the wrong way on impeachment, but who cares? That's ancient history"

FREEPERS IN '02: "I can't believe these RINO TRATIORS would destroy FREEDOM OF SPEECH by passing McCain-Feingold!!! This is INEXCUSIBLE!!! I will NEVER, EVER AGAIN support ANY Republican who buddies up with McCain for this one!! I don't care WHO they are!! These people have DESTROYED our Republic and are UNFIT to hold any office of trust again!!"
FREEPERS DURING THE NEXT ELECTION: "Hey, Senator Fred Thompson sounds REALLY good, he's solid on pro-life, pro-gun, and the WOT. We need to draft this guy for President, he looks like a winner! He voted the wrong way on McCain-Feingold, but who cares? That's ancient history"

FREEPERS IN '06: "I can't believe these RINO TRATIORS would support AMNESTY for ILLEGAL ALIENS!!! This is INEXCUSIBLE!!! I will NEVER, EVER AGAIN support ANY Senator who helped the Dems pass this amnesty bill out of the Senate !! I don't care WHO they are!! These people have DESTROYED our Republic and are UNFIT to hold any office of trust again!!"
FREEPERS DURING THE NEXT ELECTION: "Hey guys, we really need to get behind Senators Murkowski and Lieberman because ONLY they can WIN their states. They agree with Bush on the WOT on that's more important than ANYTHING ELSE. If we get behind another conservative candidate, the GOP is DOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED in those states and the DEMOCRAT will win that state! Sure, Liberman and Murcowski voted to give millions of illegal aliens amnesty, but who cares? It's mot like they're gonna try another amnesty bill in 2007..."

FREEPERS IN '07: "I can't believe these RINO TRATIORS would support a CUT-AND-RUN plan out of Iraq!!! This is INEXCUSIBLE!!! I will NEVER, EVER AGAIN support ANY Senator who caved and ruined our chances of victory there!!! I don't care WHO they are!! These people have DESTROYED our Republic and are UNFIT to hold any office of trust again!!"
FREEPERS DURING THE NEXT ELECTION: Wanna venture a guess what will happen?
