If Bush is going to be no better than a Democrat on immigration (and guns, etc.) then I might as well send a message next time, let Hillary run the nation into the ground at a slightly faster rate for four years, and hope that the Republicans get a backbone in 2008.

Republicans get a backbone

Now there's a dream.

Frankly, I think a lot of Republicans enjoy being in the undemanding but still cushy position of minority party politician.

It's a lot easier being in 2nd place.

Bush is for gun control? Since when? Or is that another lie from someone who wants Hillary in office in '04?

Last time I saw Republicans with a spine was 1988.

I hate to tell you this, but after 8 years of the white trash Clinton regime and the attacks of 9/11, if they haven't got a backbone by now they probably never will!

I agree,and may even vote for Bubbette! myself. Her winning the election would either be the wake-up call the Republicans need,or the opening shot of the 2nd American Revolution. Either way sanity will prevail in the end.

Then again,there is a 50/50 chance that Bubbette! beating Bubba-2 would only be a sign that the Republicans are far enough to the left. In that case,there is surely a revolution in our future. So be it.

. . .let Hillary run the nation into the ground at a slightly faster rate for four years. . .

Hitlary! won't be the candidate for the RATS in '04. Nevertheless, your position here is suicidal. It's absolutely suicidal (and unless I've missed something, what's the beef with G.W. over guns?).

I wouldn't advise that. In my mind, the ultimate goal of those of us on the Right should be to defeat the Left at all costs. Don't let them win, period! You know what will happen if they do, so why even think of doing anything that might help them?

Can you imagine the Supreme Court nominees that Gore or Hitlary! will put up for confirmation? Those are LIFETIME appointments that we'd have to live with no matter who sits in the Oval Office. THEN YOU'LL REALLY WORRY ABOUT THE SECOND AMENDMENT!

Again, that's suicidal political thinking.

Strong medicine, and the patient might not recover, but I'm afriad it's the only option left.
