GOP In Trouble?

If the Republicans get hit hard in these elections, hopefully the senators up for re-election in 2006 will think a little more carefully before wantonly spending the nation's money.

I thought the republicans would be hit hard after Dubya's first term... so hopefully people have now become enlightened to the destruction caused.

No doubt, the GOP is in major trouble for the upcoming elections. We can all blame Mr. Bush for that.
Godbless, Tadpole.

It's true that Bush deserves a lot of blame for never vetoing a spending bill, but the congressmen and senators who voted for the increased spending shouldn't be let off the hook either.

Really they had no choice!

Diebold makes voting machines that are used in 37 states, but they provide no verifiable record and lack even basic protection against fraud.

Voting machine fraud, media manipulation, religious influence, locked 2 party system....

I apologize StevenM, you are right. But I know these aren't reasons that StevenM thought there was no other choice.
