Thanks Joe.

Many of the listed "victories" are verbal support for or against something - Talk is cheap.

When I step back and look at the big picture.....

this is what I see.

A bigger government, Higher Taxes, More federal regulations, and A total lack of respect for the Bill of Rights.

It's not good enough, Americans deserve better.

In other words, It's not good enough for WhiteGuy, but of course a lot of people on FR know that even if W. implemented WhiteGuy's agenda 100% that WhiteGuy would still not be satisfied.

You are correct, talk is cheap, as exemplified by you.

"How long must we subsist on manna and quail? Were we brought into the desert to die? Why doesn't Moses just strike the rock? We are tired of the journey. Are we there yet? With IINO's like Moses, we will never be able to take the Promised Land. There is no real difference between Moses and Pharoah, at least we know what we are getting in a golden calf."

Every Sunday I have to be reminded AGAIN what G.W. has done for "us" because the list is so limited that I forget it by Saturday. As you said, "talk is cheap." I do not think this record will spur mostly apolitical conservatives to come to the polls in November. Therefore, I see Democrat gains from ME to CA.

Yes, we do. But we're not going to get it by sniping at the President. If we want a conservative agenda put into place, there have to be conservative folks in Congress to shepherd the ideas and vote for the funding for them. In order to get that Congress, we're going to have to put aside the divisions and elect Repubs. Not all will be conservative Repubs., but having a Repub. majority in both houses will increase GREATLY the possibility of the Pres. getting the conservative parts of his agenda passed.

"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it. "Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything. "I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'

"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.

Could you please point out the country in the world where things are better than here?
