Rick,
I congratulate you on a very well thought out dissertation. I do agree that conservatives need to pick the battles that mean the most and try to meet some agreement point across the aisle.
Let me ask you a question or two, if I may.
Can you tell me and the readers when was the last time the democrats crossed the aisle to support any legislation that changed/modified a democrat keepsake program?
I know you can do it, because the democrats do it all the time.
Do you remember when was the last time the republicans reached across the aisle to play ball with the democrats and instead of just getting a bloody nose, they got the bat shoved up their ass?
The republicans don't know how to play the same way the democrats do, even when they have the majority. The first thing the republicans need to do is find some backbone and then integrity. I still hope integrity is a word that in the republican lexicon because they sure haven't demonstrated it lately. When the republicans can figure out who and what they are, then maybe they will find their way out of the wilderness. Until then, they will nothing more than a well worn speed bump for the democrats and the surge left we are going to experience for at least the next 4 years. I just hope not too much damage is done to the fabric and framework of the 'good old USA' that can't be undone at a later date.
Have a good day.

TIME TO FORGET MCCAIN AND FIGHT FOR THE FILIBUSTER IN THE SENATE

9:52 amI was talking with the wife last night…my take on it is that Obama wins and in 3 years, we’re in a malaise like during the Jimmy Carter era.<<
It won't take that long. We will know within the first 100 days what the damage will be and how long it will take to turn it around. Politics is cyclic and the country is restless and complacent, and therefore we are about to swing back to the left for awhile.
The country survived Carter, regardless what Chris Matthews says, we will survive Obama-lama-ding-dong and the demCong. The problem is we may not survive the RINOs. The RNC needs a complete shake-up and clean-out. The RNC should have been holding the feet of the RINOs to the fire or getting them out of office by supporting challengers in the primaries. The RNC didn't do its job for the last 8 years and we were stuck with Rs that acted just like D/Ls. Have you ever got fed up with your home being too cluttered and decided that it was time to get rid of the junky mess? Well, its time for the true Rs to reclaim their party or fork and join together to form a new party.
The thing to remember, it really doesn't matter who gets elected to the Presidency, the country is going to have a very tough economic for a long time and it appears that the public is not quite ready to take the bad medicine it needs. With Obama in the White House, the time it takes will be much shorter than if McCain is in the White House. The repercussions of the lifestyles we have been aspiring to live over the last 20 years is about to fall on top of us and people are going to be forced to pay more attention to what is happening around them than worrying about Britney Spears, Paris Hilton or the rest of the Hollyweird crowd.

AYERS-OBAMA: THE VOTERS DON'T CARE
MarkJ Said:
8:31 amMark,
You should have added the MSM in the mix of those that are going to be wondering why the truth squads shutdown their reporting, if an negative articles start being printed. "Why are you picking on us, we did what you wanted to get elected?".

At this point I think a donation to Kender is a better investment than in John McCain.
BTW, I just used the PayPal button in the page, not on the bar, and it worked OK.

CONSERVATIVE COLUMNIST ASKS PALIN TO WITHDRAW
Rick,
"Yes, Virginia. There is always a learning curve for a new president and vice president."
I am beginning to think that all the pundits have forgotten this, and even if they do have experience each situation has a learning curve.
Sarah Palin is what she is, a breath of fresh air from the tired thinking and drivel that we get from the beltway crowd. I for one welcome some common sense.

Rick,
While I don't agree with many of your posts and analyses, I have and still do support your blog. It is, after all your blog and your perspective, and if I only read the blogs that I agreed with all the time, I would have blinders in place just like those on the ends of the spectrum.
Keep doing what you are doing and I will keep reading.
Good luck.
