Don't forget the NWO.

[Marcus Bryant]

And the CIA. Lest we forget the Federal Reserve, and fluoride.

Please, continue highlighting the issues that really matter.

In this forum it's pretty hard to put one's finger on anything that does.

Usually, when something important is highlighted, it's swiftly shuttled to the second page.

One would think that a certain pragmatism would prevail in this election for some on the right as it relates to winning elections in center-left states.

Better to lose the Senate and fail to retake the House, than to elect any GOP moderates in moderate/liberal states.

The "issues" discussed here seem to be the ones given importance by the popular 'political entertainment media.'

Odds are they'll take the house regardless but politically yes it will be better not to share the blame for te next two years. The RNC can have the slogan Super Majorities 2012.

Wait a second, would it not be preferable to gain as much power in the legislative branch asap to stop the trek down the ruinous path on which the 'Marxist Moslem' in the White House has taken this country or whatever?

Seems to me it'd be better to put the brakes on Obama. Divided government would drive him, and the Dems, more to the center.

It's disheartening to hear conservatives spout their own immiseration thesis. Worse to get better seldom works out as well in practice.

Enforcing a foolish consistency seems to be the objective of some.

Seems to me they don't need control to put the brakes on him. In fact they're doing it pretty well right now. This morning (on msnbc) the buzz is that dems are running away from letting the "tax cuts for the rich" expire and Obama will be cutting a deal to extend all the Bush tax cuts for 1-2 years.

Popular conservatism is tax cuts, exclusively, at this point.

If what they said on msnbc is true, it's about to become the motto of popular liberalism too. Or will the left stand up and protest the Obama tax cuts for the rich.

[LnGrrrR]

Again, Dems cave like pansies.

"Strategic cringing"

Probably not. Instead they'll probably extend them for two (or three) years. Kick the can.
