Thanks, I'm in a good mood tonight. I just got back from a Republican victory party, good food, cheap but not free drinks, interesting people. Everybody was talking about real change in the Party. It wasn't business as usual and that alone should send shivers of fear up the treasonous, spineless, spines of the RATS!

Good luck with that. The Republican faithful were talking about that same thing in '94 and 2000 as well. Unfortunately those actually holding office had different plans.
Only time will tell. I expect that the Republicrats will stop Obama's most egregious welfare state legislation, which is always a good thing. However, I fully expect that they will help him implement any new warfare/police state legislation he wants to pass.

I remember reading a book written by Phylis Schlafly for the 1964 election and it was advocating dramatic change among the republicans then. She complained about the 'eastern establishment' that controlled the republican party and was against the rank and file. very similar to the tea party complaints of today. and do you know that in 2004 Phylis Schlafly supported Bush for president. She's advocated radical change among the republicans all her adult life, here she is in her 80's and supporting the republican establishment.

When all is said and done, she is a Republican so it is not surprising that she voted Republican. It's what partisans do on both sides of the aisle. IIRC even Buchanan voted for Bush during one of the elections didn't he?

yes, that is correct. Pat Buchanan shilled for Bush in 2004 in an article he wrote. I lost all respect for both Pat Buchanan and Phylis Schlafly as a result.
