When are some Rs in Congress going to jump ship?
Is it at all possible that some Republicans in Congress will find their consciences and decide that they've seen enough lies, corruption and deceipt?

Am I just dreaming, or is this possible? Because I think that's what it's going to take.

We've heard some Repubs start to murmur about the war, that maybe it wasn't worth it -- are they going to take that next step and say "enough already -- the lies and corruption have compromised national security, not to mention directly led to the senseless deaths of way too many American soldiers".

Where are the real Patriots in that party?

2. I've always been fovorable to Olympia Snowe... of course, I live in CA
... not Maine. I'm sure those from Maine may have a different, more informed opinion...


It will happen. They aren't all stupid or heartless. Some are beginning to challenge *... to see the light.

I welcome all opinions on Snowe!

15. she votes for the leadership
and votes with Republicans more than half the time. If you want to change the agenda, you need to elect Democrats. Especially in blue states.

3. Not Deb Pryce of Columbus ....
.... my goal in '06 is to see her defeated. She is a bush whore & Tom DeLay's
Buddy.

She is classless ..... she knew what happened in Ohio but lectured me and
many others on 1/6/05 how we did not love America ..... she has to go ....

The big thing in '06 is clean voting machines and link repug congresspersons
to bush ..... he will be poison by then.

10. But what about most Americans being tired of
what these Repubs have done to America? If I was a Repub, I would never trust them again!

8. as soon as it gets closer to the next Pres election

9. I think you're on to something...
They'll jump in one's and two's like Rep. "Freedom Fries" from NC who has enough integrity to get pissed off when he's been told a massive lie. I think that small groups, "the moderates," will go when they see the writing on the wall...* is cooked. It's all down hill from here and the 42% approval rating today is a massive testimony to his "popularity."

Great Election Fraud Tool

14. I think it's time to challenge their patriotism
...just like they did to us.

A real patriot would be outraged about this obvious lack of care for national security.

A real patriot would be outraged about the President lying to take us to war.

I do believe that some of them are indeed real patriots.
