the Democrats. Watching his speech right now. Basically saying we're not going to take the cr@p the Dems are shoveling out anymore. Things might get interesting pretty quick. He's talking chit right now about Obamalamadingdong. Waiting on him to talk about Pelosi and her lying self.[}:)]

The Dims have their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. There aren't enough GOP members in the House to cause an uproar. And, the Dims control the White House.
For all intents and purposes, the GOP is irrelevant for the next year and a half. Unless it retains and gains seats in the House and Senate in 2010, they can talk all they want.
Talk is cheap.
TALK is cheap.
Said a month ago the Dems held a good lead. But that it is now even up.
Still IMO just grandstanding by Steele. The GOP had 8 years to do the things "they claim" they want to do now. 8 years of their base litterally BEGGING them to do it.
And they ignored us. And I haven't seen much if any change to make me think they are any better now. Better than the Libs? Marginally. VERY SMALL MARGIN.
Just heard "The Huckabee Report" on the radio. He says that Gallup does a weekly poll on the Repub/Demo numbers. (And which way the independnts are leaning).

Let's be fair here... this is not true.
During Bush, he did not have a majority for all eight years. The last two years was controlled by the Dims. On top of that, he did not have a majority in the Senate (remember when it was "shared" between the GOP and Dims?) for the other six years.
I'm not giving the GOP a pass for the years they DID have control, but, again, we have to be intellectually honest here.

OK, I'll give em that. But I still think it's all a big "dog & pony show" for our benefit.
During the Bush years, how many Republicans were the Libs able to unseat, if not convict, often on flimsy evidence?
All while several democrats were proven 100% guilty and walked w/a slap on the wrist. Does Sandy Berger ring a bell? That SOB is back in Washington WITH his security clearence!
And it happened during the GOP majority. The GOP cleaned, or allowed itself to be cleaned of anybody worth a damn. All while giving Libs a free pass.
Trust em? NOT ME!
