How much did the Democrats accomplish between 1992 and 1994 when the controlled the WH-the Senate and the House?

Off the top of my head, at least the Brady Bill and the so-called "Assault Weapons Ban." We're still stuck with the former. I wouldn't discount the value of more Ruth Bader Ginsburg clones on the Supreme Court and the rest of the judiciary. That's where the left has succeeded with some of the most damaging decisions.

Go read McCain-Leiberman. A Republican President purposing a $.50 a gallon Fed Gas tax hike?

If that was an excise tax on foreign fuel, I have no problem. I want energy independence.

A $.50 hike in gas tax?

Foreign or domestic, what good is energy independence without financial independence?

You honestly think John “Gang of 14” McCain who organized a surrender to the Democrats on Judges once is going to fight his good buddies Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Russ Feingold to get you a Conservative SC Justice?

“I wouldn’t discount the value of more Ruth Bader Ginsburg clones on the Supreme Court and the rest of the judiciary”

The judiciary argument is a red herring. McCain has Warren Rudman (David Souter’s chief advocate) as his judiciary adviser.

Not to mention maybe bringing back the fairness doctrine and I would be surprised if they try to shut down this site!
