Good Post but do stick around. Watch the beginning of the end of the GOP as we knew it and likely the birth of a Conservative Party. I think it will be sooner rather than later. Why? The GOP or rather it's leadership is in denial. How so? look at the polls themself. Now those cheering the high approval ratings for Bush Jr are not by any means think clear on this matter. Why couldn't Ronald Reagan hold these type of ratings? Reagan knew better than to tell the Conservative GOP to get lost and shut up. Bush however is not that smart it seems. True Reagan made some blunders but deliberately time after time pushing away the conservative base for liberals generally was not one of his common traits though at some points he did compromise. But not anything like the general wholesale we are seeing in the past year.

80% plus approval ratings mean only one thing and one thing only. Many Liberals are getting their way. Enough so that the Dems and GOP party hardcores are supporting it. Bush is the Dems usefull dolt. In my state we have a GOP governor who is the Dems usefull dolt. Dems like usefull GOP dolts. As a matter of fact they will help elect them through not running strong canidates.

When and if the sheeple start actually giving Bush and the GOP leadership close objective scrunity and compare their policies and agenda against conservative values the scales will find them lacking in measure by plenty. Bush is indeed being rejected in some very strange places. The Califorina GOP primaries is a recent example. Conservatism in the GOP got the nod. Bush is trying it again in Tennessee with chosing our senate replacement. Word is Ed Bryant is the man inspite of a White House and RNC press release in support of a moderate.

If the GOP is going to crash then let it get it over with so constitutional issues can be adressed rather than discussing how we can elect a political family dynasty. Winning for the sake of win is a hollow victory. Victory for cause and principle rewards itself by virtue. I saw you post an Opus at it is called here. Stick around. Election time we were the minority sounding warnings. The 1% as some would like to have everyone believe. Less than 1% biult this nations foundations and declared our freedoms over the objections of those who were comfy with the crowns rule.

No it does not take a majority to change this nations direction for the better or the worst. I think most Freepers would be very suprised if just 33% of our Congress was Constitutional Conservatives. They and not the Liberals in the GOP or DEMs would control the leglislative branch as the other two would be fractured and unable to agree. The 33% Conservative diehards would hold the bargaining chips and that would stop the nonsense.

We could elect Shakes the Clown for POTUS and be safe if we demanded a higher standard in both houses. That is where the Constitutional Crisis we are still in happened and is still occuring. Bill Clinton was not a Constitutional Crisis as proceedures were in place to handle Bill Clinton. The crisis occured when A Branch that refuses to preform by oath the Constitutional Duty of Checks and Balances. Right Senator Ted Stevens-R? I don't care yada yada you will not get a conviction and then voted the same!

Califorina is sick and tired of it that's a good sign. There is hope and I do believe some postings come from those who are shall we say party officers. So don't let it bother you. See it for what it is and act upon your convictions. In the end victory is yours. I understand your anger and it is shared among more than you think.
