Well said

Excellent read!!!!!

Truer words never spoken: Conservatives gave the Republicans Congress and the White House, and they can take it away.

[WesternPacific]

I would disagree in that the GOP has the ky to the GOP's future.

[Paperdoll]

Honest Abe must be spinning in his grave! Republicans on The Hill must repent and change their ways and begin to serve Him the rest of their days!

[mikeus_maximus]

The Dems and the GOP have given us 2 choices: Would we like a quick death, or a slightly slower death?

[VanDeKoik]

Thats a very nice and overly dramatic statement.

How about you get involved with the party machine to get the change you want, instead of sitting back and finding more over the top ways of proclaiming the death of the republic?

[Jeff Chandler]

The basic message of this article is true, but some of the specifics are off base.

[tkathy]

The Republican party is doing just fine. Just imagine the country with a permanent majortiy democratic. The reps are doing the best they can with horrific problems and a hostile press and traitorous democrats.

[Smogger]

I strongly disagree with the author's assertion that "these last six years have been lethal to American manufacturing and economic self-reliance." The economy is in fantastic shape, and the numbers get better every day. The stock market is up and we are at damn near full employment.

Furthermore to compare toppling the governments of Afghanistan and Iraq, and replacing them with governments more of our own liking, with a civil war where we lost as many as 2000 troops in one week of combat is patently absurd.

[Little Ray]

Well, that means its not in our hands, but their own. The elected nincompoops need to fix their screw-ups before the election.

Ooops. Outta time.

[Herakles]

"So of the 65 percent of Americans who don’t approve of the president or the Congress, 50 percentage points were never going to approve in the first place. That means the swing has really come from some 15 or 20 percentage points – one-quarter or one-third of the original number who gave the Republicans Congress and the White House. "

Damn! Finally someone who can do math and gets it!

[B.O. Plenty]

....unless the president and the Congress change....

I am not going to hold my breath. These arrogant bastards think they know everyting, just like most of the other people at the mid and high levels of government. They think that their opinions are the only ones that are right, and every last one of them expect the conservatives will stick with them just because they have "r" in front of their names.

Conservatives are yelling so loudly, it is hard to imagine that the pleas can be so ignored.

The "party machine", despite the involvement of conservatives, has given us "conservatives" like Ford, Bush I, Dole, and Bush II. RR was an abheration, thanks to his undeniable personal charisma which transcended "the party machine." Once he was gone, it was back to business as usual.

How about you keep blindly stoking that decrepit machine without me, and as many others as I can convince?

[concerned about politics]

This article is an example of "jamming." It's designed to fuel the fire of conservative outrage. These types of articles..."Everybody hates Bush- even you!".....are coming in like tsunamis.

I'm not going to be roped in by the press and FR trolls. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Because there's a massive attack on Bush, the Republicans, and even the Republican base right now - that's actually supportive of the conservative outrage!!! - tells me to go the opposite direction. As a matter of fact, my Bush support has just gone up 100%.

I WILL NOT allow the liberal press to use me in their quest to impeach Bush and I WILL NOT join them in their "Hate Bush like everyone else does even the base " propaganda. It isn't gong to happen!

[Vaquero]

Well said...of course they might put me on another suspension or expulsion for criticizing the bushbots and saying so, but cest la vie.

[Rockitz]

Amen!

....and now....the rest.....of the headline.....

UNFORTUNATELY, THE RINO'S HAVE CHANGED THE LOCK

[Mase]

Economic security. These last six years have been lethal to American manufacturing and economic self-reliance.

I was reading and agreeing with most of what the author said until this point. Conservatives have never been economic isolationists. If we adopted protectionist policies, the resulting worldwide trade war and recession would surely cause the base of power in this country to shift to the socialists. Once that occurred, he would really learn what it means to lose military security. Unfortunately, Bob Lonsberry offers us nothing not already being sold by Pat Buchanan.
