1 I agree that the hat trick is necessary for them to actually do something, but I don't think it is sufficient. Iran will view a Democratic presidency as a green light to do whatever the hell it wants, and a Democratic White House will do absolutely nothing about it until Iran actually uses a nuclear weapon against somebody.

2 Mark Steyn says it better than I would have: http://drsanity.blogspot.com/2007/01/narcissism-and-politics-of-personal.html "ThereÂ’s a world of difference between the politics of personal destruction and the geostrategic kind. Beating up breast-cancer survivors is no indication youÂ’ll do the same to Ahmadinejad or Kim Jong-Il."

3 Why not just vote them out of office entirely and let them run our schools and all the legacy media? Then we can cancel our subscriptions and never hear from them again. Oh, and help our children drive their teachers totally insane. Well, more than they already are, anyway.

4 and let them run our schools and all the legacy media? Uh...don't they do that already?

5 Yes. Until we stop enabling them. If you give them the White House, they will have the Presidency, the Senate, the House, the Judiciary, the media(including entertainment), and our schools. Stop trying to give them something to "come aboard." We've already given them the whole ship. We should have opened up a second front against the Left that supports terrorism instead of "teaching' Repubs a "lesson" by staying home. Any good coming of that? What makes it out of the media's news spinner? Sure, the altmedia tells you about the Dems takng off their first Monday in power to see the Ohio State/Florida Gators play when the Dems are running their "100 Hours of magic" promotion. But who really heard it except the choir?

6 This is perilously close to the line between a good joke and a terrible idea.

7 no shit, I would vote for the devil himself before Hillary. Even if he is sleeping with Saddam Hussein.

8 OUCH, a harsh word there. Glad you said it not me ( I am already sleeping on the couch) The truth be told as a protest Republican and conservatives alike are to blame by not voteing this last election. Now that the progressive , enlightened thinkers are in power can we really afford to let them have a home run with the white house? The 2008 election is a must for not just conservatives but moderates alike to put a voice for the people back in washington. It is these enl;ightened thinkers who are passing laws and statutes limiting free speach and liberties. They webt after large tobacco, now it is the fast food industry, and capitolism as it relates to talk radio. (NPR conservative? not even). The voice of common sense has to be brought back. That means if you have to be a c^&% to do it, then do it.

9 I say let them have it all: Make Carter the ambassador to Iran, deep six the Patriot Act, pull out of Iraq in ten minutes, give Kim Jong Il more plutonium. If Nancy and Hillary have the reigns, they won't have Bush to kick around anymore. Perhaps then voters will see just how vapid and vacuous their public policy is. Remember: Carter won on the heels of Nixon's resignation. Under those conditions, the Dems could have nominated an Inanimate Carbon Rod (Google The Simpsons, Inanimate Carbon Rod) and it would have won. In the same vein, voters will be sick of Pelosi and Clinton. My main concern is this: Will there be any unabashedly conservative Republicans to clean up in '12 or '16?

10 I should have written "...voters will be as sick of Pelosi and Clinton as they were of Carter in 1980".

11 Are you prepared to wait twenty years to undo the damage caused by a Leftist executive/legislative/judicial hat trick? Carter's State Dept. hires/judicial appointments still linger(though most have retired). Clinton's are years away from doing us the favor of going away. Clinton's/Carter's State Dept. 'homies" were the ones that foreign governments called Newt about. They were out to try and sell the Iraqi invasion--but told everyone NOT to vote for the UN resolution. The damage lives on for many years. Do you really know what global warming is really all about? It is a way for the UN to tax Americans directly. Period. We should make the next President of the US sign a binding oath NOT to go along with this nonsense. The ACTUAL temperature change since 1850 is about 1 degree C. Trivial, considering the prior period was named "The Little Ice Age." And that had nothing to do with what they put in their drinks! Where do we see dire changes? In computer models. In computer models that have vastly OVERSTATED temp. change for twenty years now. I wouldn't fret unless I lived in one of those models. . .
