The only real conservatives in office today are in the House of Representatives. They exert more power with a weak Democrat or conservative Republican as President than a big-spending popular guy like Dubya.

My answer: conservatives.

Good point. The Conservatives just don't have the numbers or horsepower to to have a significant effect or to make demands on any party. Yet when they don't get their way, they lash out at everybody and alienate friend and foe. They have to grow up.

True.

And even then, they are not ALL that conservative.

Ryan of Wisconsin voted for the prescripdrug bill--thank God, Sensenbrenner did not.

But if you look at the geography, you understand.

Ryan's district includes a large GM plant. The scrip drug bill will reduce GM's retiree-health-care costs. GM, Ford, Chrysler (and many other similarly situated employers) NEED this bill--or they will have to wipe out profits just funding healthcare for retirees.

Truly a dismal picture.
