So when was America's Golden Age?

Geez.

I give up

If Delay had cleared his legal problems with Ronnie Earl then I would be the first person rooting for him. How much of this loss can be laid at the feet of losing Delay at a crucial time?

late 50s early 60's. It all went to he!! after Kennedy was assinated and then the hippy generation took over with free love and all the Vietnam war protests. Too many people dont' remember a time when you could send kids out to play and not have to worry that someone was kidnapping or raping them, they didn't try to brainwash us in school, rather actually taught us something and if you screwed off the teachers had power to do something about it...

[StoneWall Brigade]

I just did some reading on Steele I was too harsh on him even tho I 100% disagree with his views on on Iraq I'll support him and the Republicans

[IslandJeff]

when you could send kids out to play

I managed to do that in the early '80's - somehow. Must have been the neighborhood.

Agreed completely in terms of any sense of "community" since then, however. We've permanently lost the Public Sector, barring massive layoffs.

Retain a bit of circumspection about the kids, however. Young couples birthing chillen' might be more conservative than you would expect. 'Mericans, despite their political stupidity, might still have a sense of Right and Wrong. Buck up, FRiend!

And God Bless You!

Hispanics don't vote for blacks? What's up with that?

I hope you don't think only whites can be racists.

Rove made the decision to support Lincoln Chafee in the primaries against a conservative challenger.

Chafee lost and has said he will consider becoming a Democrat so he can run for office again.


I also didn't appreciate GWB lying to us about Rumsfeld before the election.

Personally, it became abundantly clear to me in Jan. 2005 within a few days after President Bush started his second term that the GOP quietly brought in Jo Ann Davidson, who had 'handed him Ohio' and was given the 'co-chair'position of the GOP, next to Michelman. Davidson is a pro-abortion advocate and 'gay marriage supporter'.

This was the answer we were given as to what the GOP thought of its Conservative members. It wasn't conservatives the GOP wanted to move into the big camp. We became as an embarrassment to the GOP. In our state's GOP many conservatives lost their positions and weren't welcome to help the GOP.

I held my nose and voted Republican, but I can see how many states, who offered up prolife, conservative Democrats, how conservatives would switch their votes, seeing the weak Republican politician they had in their state. The 2002 and 2004 election was a chance for the GOP to prove what they could do socially, fiscally and militarily. We can't continue saying we are pro-life when not given a clear reason why over 3,000 of our soldiers have died, not to exclude the countless innocent Iraqi lives.

We are Christians. We follow Christ, not the RNC, and if the RNC continues to act like they are ashamed of the Christians, you will continue to see the 'dust being shaken from our feet.'

>>has been offered to Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele.

If he takes it, maybe the DNC will counter by offering its chairmanship to the Hrrrevvverrund JACKsnnnnnn

Oklahoma could also pick some candidates that would actually run a decent race!

[Coldwater Creek]

This is a smart move on the Republicans part. Rush said yesterday that the Dems are considering that little, redneck hypocrite, Harold Ford Jr. to replace Howard Dean!!!!

[Coldwater Creek]

Newt is not the leader of the Republican party! Newt is part of the corruption problem for me!

[Coldwater Creek]

This fight has been brewing for years and years!

[newzjunkey]

Good question about loss of Delay but I don't think his absence as much as his legal problems had an impact.

GOP still spent wildly under him, he even famously claimed in 2005 there was no fat in the budget! He was able to get votes needed for bills but that didn't seem to be a problem after he left.

[StoneWall Brigade]

Just remember who gave life back to the Republicans three people Regan and Rush and Newt if you want to blast Newt go ahead but ever since Newt left the Republicans have gone off the road

[Uriah_lost]

Mehlman calls you? At home? Does he have your cell number?
wow

[newzjunkey]

This is a smart move on the Republicans part. Rush said yesterday that the Dems are considering that little, redneck hypocrite, Harold Ford Jr. to replace Howard Dean!!!!

Thats nice Confederate flag if I must say so myself

How freaky.

I saw 2 people here on FR say we should try to get Steele to take the RNC position and get rid of Melhman.
