I think the Republican party has moved WAY too far left. But does that mean I should go out and vote for people even MORE left? I'd be *almost* as upset if someone like Whitman got in as I would be if Hillaryous got in. I'd like to see someone like Rick Santorum run and win. Or someone like Newt Gingrich. The so-called moderates (Rudy Guiliani, Arnold (who, as you know, can't run) are just people looking to try and please everybody. That's not only impossible, it's wishy-washy, imo. The so-called 14 moderates who stopped the vote to change the rules in the Senate did nothing but cause the issue to be moved to another time. It needs to be settled. Is it okay (Constitutional) to filibuster judge nominees or not? Because of the "moderates" we still don't know. That's why we vote for representatives (I thought), to put issues to bed, not pass the buck to the next Senate. Unfortunately, we see way too much of this from the current Republican leadership. Oh, and it is becoming harder and harder to believe you're a true conservative if you don't like Rush. The guy is fighting for our cause everyday. I think everyone has had to make some adjustments in their thinking in a post 9/11 world. I don't think we'd be in Iraq if it weren't for 9/11. Now, my hero, Pat Buchanan hates the fact we're there, and in this instance, I have to disagree with him. Especially after watching that movie "The Flight That Fought Back" last night. As I was watching that movie, had I been President, the speech I would have made on Sept 12, 2001 was coming clearly into my head... TC .
