Just a few hints among many of where this mixed up "Compassionate Conservative," half socialist, half capitalist, was coming from from day one - and we voted him in, didn't we? This columnist stood by Buchanan ... period. Too many others were all too willing to repeat the line, "I like Pat, but Pat can't win." Winning rather than principle has been the ruling passion, and so now we've all lost.

It was a make up outrage. Who do you think the companies are that are running our ports? You're worried about Dubai when Communist China's COSCO is running one of the largest port operations in L.A? Dubai has been one of the good guys in this war against terror. Meirs would not have been the WORST anything. She was fully qualified and more conservative than most. She was not ideal and as you know, I was critical of the choice, based primarily on the belief that she was chosen to avoid confrontation and that she was older than necessary or desirable. Get a grip man. Yor're right, George has never been a Conservative. He has always been slightly Left of Center, but until a better ship comes along, I'd rather ride than swim. And yes, before you ask, I am not very happy about Rummy. Quite PO'ed as a matter of fact. I suspect that they had already decided that should the Dems take over Congress that it would be self preservation for him to resign. Hannity says its been in the works for a couple of weeks.

I know the economic purists hate it, but a large number of Republicans and conservatives are voting against the idea that employers should be allowed to exploit the desperate poor merely because they can. 2) Americans are royally pissed off about the shipping of our jobs to the cheap labor of the Third World. Rick Santorum was a free trade cheerleader, and it cost him. 3) For God's sakes keep your hands out of the cookie jar! The constant scandals on the part of the Republicans are totally unnecessary and piss off voters all over the political spectrum like nothing else! 4) If you are gay be open about it, okay? That and make sure your partner is within 10 years of your age and is NOT a page! 5) Being a RINO did not save Lincoln Chaffee. 6) Being RINO's does not inspire the conservatives to show up and vote for your re-election. 7) The rad-fem and easy pickings for lawyers agenda in the family courts is destroying the nation. Sooner or later, the public will figure that out. Maybe all of them Mexican Catholics we will now welcome with open arms will be the first to see it! It behooves the GOP to get out of that bed before too many Christian conservative Promise Keepers get the rude awakening that is divorce court! I would suggest screaming for the enforcement of the Peonage Law (to better sell shared parenting as the alternative to North Dakotans) but people are tired of hearing about the obvious solution to so many of our problems!

It involves more than pointing fingers, Greg. At 130p est, Bush will hold a press conference. He will hold out an olive branch of sorts, including a proposal to move forward with "comprehensive immigration reform." Code talk for amnesty. Our Republican president will crawl in bed with Nancy Pelosi, probably the best offer she has had in decades, on the illegal alien issue. He will in effect say: Those hard ass conservatives in the US House are not in my way now--bring it on Nancy--lets convert Arizona, California, New Mexico etc into a giant suburb of Mexico. Is that what you want? Is that why you voted for Bush in 2000 and or 2004? “Yep, we had a crappy election… so now let’s run around pointing fingers.”
