I might look at other options in 2004, but what the heck am I supposed to do? Run to that wacko Buchanan? Go to someone who won't win, but will put Hillary or Gore in?

We got beaten, pure and simple. Daschle beat us, and somehow, he and the media browbeat Bush into this. As I've said, this is the first real loss we've had. That stem-cell decision was 85% of what we could have hoped for.

You want to stop crap like this, let's get more conservatives elected. That's not going to be easy, so we'd better move on it. No use crying over spilt milk. Let's be frigging adults about this, shall we? Things do not always go our way, and sometimes crap happens.

Sorry, I can't wave a frigging magic wand and make this damn bill go away. I sent e-mails, and did I everything could.

There's nothing else to do but fight the next battle that will come down the line. Sulking is not an option.

You don't stop fighting when the battle is OVER !!.. and it is not over.. The President still has my FULL SUPPORT.. but I will strongly OPPOSE him on this issue until it is over.. and we have a LONG way to go on this..

As for the rest of the agenda I say...Mr. President .. KEEP up the good work.. and don't take all this critisim personally.. try to learn from it, and as my Dad always tells me... "Do the right thing, even if everyone else is doing the wrong thing"..
