Explain to me how supporting Republicans will prevent the disaster you mention. President Bush and the Republicans are behind this bill. They could have stopped it in the Senate using the cloture vote as the Dems have often done. They are in favor of this bill...I fail to see how it could get worse under Democrats.

In fact, it feels like we are living under Dem rule right now-hate crime bill, Bush just promised billions of dollars in Aids money to Africa which we all know will merely enrich the despots and do nothing to help the African people, Bush is inviting Gore to the Whitehouse and plans to move forward on global warming, taxes will go up, the immigration bill will destroy this country and of course political correctness in Iraq where our soldiers are prosecuted for fighting back. Give me one reason why I should support anyone in the GOP?

I can tell you hate Hillary. I don’t like her either. However, I fail to see how she could be worse than Bush. Even the healthcare garbage will be absolutely needed after they grant amnesty to 20 million illegals and give our jobs away to H1 workers. America is worth saving. I do not believe the Republican Party can be helpful. I don’t know what the answer is, but supporting GOP candidates year after year while they sell out our country is not the answer.

The Dems want to give our country away. The Repubs want to sell it. Either way, the America I love will be destroyed. Americans deserve better than either of these corrupt, lame, awful parties.

I agree.

There is one trait regarding GW Bush that both Republicans and Democrats (and even Laura Bush) vehemently agree upon.

He is very, very, very stubborn.

This trait has served him well on many occasions, especially when he was right on the issues (such as Justice Roberts, Operation ENDURING FREEDOM, and tax cuts).

When he is terribly wrong on an issue(Harriet Miers, amnesty, out of control spending, etc) he won't admit it easily.

It takes getting sacked in the face about 50 times before he will even begin to move.

I talked to one ex-Washington insider who said the only people who could really put him in his place when he was wrong were his mother Barbara and his wife Laura.

Laura's approach is to shake her finger at him and yell "BUSHIE!!!"

I don't know how or why that works, but I am told it stops him in his tracks.

So your plan is to just wait for global warming to work? Want to change things, get involved. Of course, moaning and groaning can be fun but only for a little while.

By the way, this turkey will never become law without a ton of fixing.
