"GOP must accessorize"

What? Nice heels? Earrings? A nifty handbag?

I''m certain Larry Craig will be thrilled.

Your right but you try to blame the Democrats hey your party is saying you could lose 30 to 40 seats just goes to show you how far the GOP has fallen and they sill don''t want to humble themsleves to the American people.

Blood bath in Nomvember and no Iraq is not getting better did you think we forgot about the wonded.

Why are neo cons dumber than dirt. True conservatives kick the neo cons out and you will save your party it isn''t mine anymore. And I will be voting accordingly this November.

JFK was a Liberal.
He was called a Liberal then and he would be called one now.

In Mississippi, a good conservative won. There was once a time that you could be a democrat and a conservative. If one studies the campaign points of JFK, you find them more in line with the conservative democrat from Mississippi that Nancy Pelosi.

This is the most pathetic Congress to ever be in office...not one deserves to boast of anything. It''s all a game with them...how can we trip the other party up...how can we create a bill that forces the other party to hesitate so we can declare them the real problem? Games. Pelosi is a wreck. She just quacks from sun up to sun down...I''d lose my mind if I had to listen to her for 15 minutes non-stop. The whole bunch is either busy working on ways to feather their own caps or bust someone''s balloon just for spite. Sickening. Vote them all out...none of them have the right to stay another day. We are drowning in high prices and the cost of gas is going to shut this country down...anyone talking about drilling here...drilling now...? No...still have them worried about the scenery. Go into the reserves? Bandaid. Even the oil cartel said why increase their supplies when we won''t increase ours or drill for own oil. Even they know we''re surrounded by idiots in Congress. Get them out.

"The GOP will be very lucky to survive as a national force after the general elections." After the elections, I''m expecting GOP will be listed directly under "polar bear".

I''m certain that most people realize that nearly every Democrat voted for the war and continues to vote for war spending every single year, just like the Republicans have. Having the press argue that it is a Republican war every day will not make it true.
As for gas prices and energy policy in general, the American public is fully aware which party blocks the construction of nuclear power plants, oil refineries, and prevents new drilling. The Chinese and Nigerians drill in the Gulf of Mexico and we don''t. The Canadians drill in an area adjacent to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge(ANWR), and we don''t. If Americans vote with their heads or their wallets, the Republicans will do just fine. Come November, people will realize that George Bush is not actually running for office and pick between a new set of characters.

So let me get this straight. Republicans are having problems because of bad marketing decisions?

Not because they generally support an unpopular war; not because most of those indicted and convicted of impropriety while in office were Repubs; not because their fearless leader appears to be a complete idiot; not because they used and screwed their base electorate(Christians), not because they were callous and uncompromising against anyone they saw as an enemy, Repubs and Democrats equally; not because the so-called NeoCons are not real Republicans but radicals in disguise;

Frank Donatelli is trying desperately to do spin/damage control. The GOP has a history it cannot disown in the short time left before the 11/2008 elections. The Iraq War is hated by over 75% of Americans but the GOP supports it. The Hispanic electorate view the GOP as anti Hispanic but the GOP seems not to care about this. Gas is about $3.75 and climbing and President Bush was ineffective in controlling the price. The list is endless. The GOP will be very lucky to survive as a national force after the general elections.

Yo Chicken, how''s my favorite fake black racist? Still copying/pasting the exact same line for some time now trying to fool the truly ignorant into being afraid of some sort of "black power" movement. Move along chicken, get a new act.

John McCain is running a campaign on more war, bigger deficits, and no help to the middle class. His idea of bold is merely admitting that Global Warming exists.

The problem with Republicans is that we''ve seen them in power and they don''t do what they say they will do. They''re awful at keeping us safe, their foreign policy is a disaster, they can''t balance the check book, they prey on pages, beat their mistresses, troll men''s lavatories for dates, and have secret second families.

They have done nothing to stop illegal immigration, they haven''t restored honor and dignity to the White House, and they have divided, not united, the country. They have failed at everything except letting the rich keep more of their money, slashing environmental regulation, and letting their buddies loot the treasury.

I say vote them all out come November.....

"Maverick" by a$$. The media puppets are such fools to keep embarrassing themselves by referring to McCain this way. Almost as much of a joke as W''s "compassionate conservative" label, perhaps winner of this decade''s "most extreme oxymoron" award.

Ah, and I almost forgot, See McCain waving the American flag and wearing the flag pin while voting to cut benefits for active-duty and veteran soldiers. This guy is just as bad as the other neocons, just more senile.

"McCain isn''''t a hard core conservative and is NOT another Bush as some people here would have you believe." **** I would argue that he WASN''T like Bush back in 2000, but since the GOP started dangling the nomination carrot in front of McCain, he SURE is starting to sound a lot like him - conservative activist judge appointees, saber-rattling for a third war in Iran (with Lieberman following him and whispering in his ear everywhere he goes), a cheerleader for the failed foreign policies that brought us Iraq, admittingly no concept of economics except for scams such as repealing the gas tax, making tax cuts for the top 1% permanent, agreement with Bush to not hold talks with Iran, explosive temper, voting to allow torture (the ultimate betrayal of values), warming up to both the neocons and the far right-wing crowd to get their vote, and the list goes on. Every day this guy looks more and more like a "W wannabe". Face it, the guy sold his soul to the neocons. And you thought Kerry was a flip flopper! This guy makes Kerry look like a concrete wall. I won''t even go into how this guy could never win over the religious right after he called them "agents of intolerance" and demonstrated a lack of "family values" by dumping his wife on her sick bed to take up with some rich hot babe. Nope, more of the same, and most importantly, a vote for McCain is a vote to keep all the neocons and incompetent cronies of the Bush administration employed. You KNOW that was part of the nomination deal.

Republicans and their "wake up call" - like they''ve been asleep ? NO - they marched in lockstep to impose their policies and destroy all oversight, all the problems we have are the direct result of nearly 8 years of their unilateral government, their failed ideology, economics, and foreign "policy". They brought this on themselves by destroying America, and now they must face an angry population. There''s nothing they can do to sell their product - everyone knows it stinks.

McCain isn''t a hard core conservative and is NOT another Bush as some people here would have you believe. He is as much disliked by the far right conservatives as he is by the far left liberals. He became the GOP nominee in SPITE of the far right''s displeasure with him. This guy is as middle of the road as you will find in a politician. I honestly believe that he will be a good President. I cannot and will not vote for an inexperienced and cocky pie in the sky personality that barks dreams that have no substance. McCain is NOT what some Dems may think he is. At this point in the history of our great Country, I feel that, we need to stop holding on to symbols. So what if you are a Democrat or a Republican. What does that mean compared to the present needs of our Country? To hang on to your "party" could be detrimental to our future as a people
