Republican lost congress because they started backing away from Bush. Why support a party when their own people don't believe in what they are doing. The marginals in the middle gave the Bolshecrats a narrow victory, which is no mandate. Now get your butts in motion and pull together, 20 years of Bolshecrats will be disaster, two you can hold your nose.
I believed that the polls were wrong and the American people had more sense than prove Olbermann and the rest of the vitriolic slime stream media right. I refuse to believe Americans are that dumb, at least those in the middle.
You make valid points however I think there were other issues the GOP congress could not overcome such as immigration and gov't growth/spending among others that angered conservatives.
Let's face it... the other side thought they were mad and voted like it. Our side was apathetic and disappointed in congress.
If we want to put the party back on the right track we should start by getting rid of RINO's in the primary (such as Specter)
You should go back and read Post #14. That was Bush's man up there in New Hampshire preaching the new Gospel according to the NeoCons.
I have a burning desire to go into a voting booth in 2008 and not have to hold my nose again.
Maybe we could require all Republican candidates to sign a pledge to uphold the 10th amendment to the Constitution. I know they all take an oath once elected to uphold the Constitution, but I don't know if they have their fingers crossed...or they do like President Bush and redact the 10th amendment.
