The problem is the current repubilcans,  we need stronger republicans to run, do you agree?

We don't need stronger republicans.  We need ones that can fend off the media's rhetoric.  That is where Bush is having trouble.  People believe what they read.  Some politicians are better than others at this, and it often determines what they can get done.

Nothing, the Republicans can't get together on this issue. They are the majority in both sides of Congress, and I say they are stalling because of the election in November.

They abandoned their constituents LONG AGO. They had all the power and did nothing for major GOP issues, except taxes. \nGay marriage, abortion, supporting our troops (they are underpaid commared to the contracted workers) Donald needed to go!!!(He wasn't getting them proper equipment or support.\nAMERICA WANTED A CHANGE.\nI think this prooves most Americans are sensible middle of the road people. I think the Democrats needed to go in '94 and '96 just like the Republicans need to go now.\n\nHopefully, with a Republican president, A Democratic house, and a split Senate...\nWe will get answers,\nWe will get cooperation,\nand we will get reform,\nand BALANCE!\n\nIf the Republicans really wanted to win they should have staged (another?) terrorist attack. Nothing like a bit of fear to turn voters.

For the same reason Republicans are, they're politicians.  Both sides need to get their heads out of their behinds and think about what's best for the people of this country, not their parties.

We need a tough and smart president.

Unfortunately the Republicans will again and even if its the Democrats it will not make any difference at all.  They are both made of the same material.  MONEY.  I'd like to see some real change with more independents and Libertarian Party members.

I hope you are right.   There's a lot of news coverage on the new people in politics who are willing to go after what's really important.  But how long will it take for the damage the Republicans have caused to be over.

No, not at all.  It would be more dangerous by far to elect more Republicans who have so far screwed up every possible aspect of the wars.\n\nAnd I'm a conservative.

Better worry about the rest of American voters as well and not focus on a single group.  I hope the Republicans wise up and choose a moderate candidate who can win, instead of trying to sell a candidate who gats the biggest conservative base.  A candidate who can win, especially with congress once again in liberal hands, is much better than one who looks good, but only to conservatives.

I often wonder why the Dem's dont produce a good platform of their own, instead of being purely anti-republican.  If they actually focused on positives that they would bring to the nation, I think they'd get more support

I agree with your assesment! Those Republicans seem so old, and hagard looking.\n\nThe 1st step of Repiblican recovery is admitting you are one.

Yes! The democrats have to do something bold. There is no solid leadership in the party. Bush has given the democrats so many opportunities to capitalize on his failings, but all they do is whine. A bold, positive agenda for reform would be a fantastic way to get out of the doldrums the democratic party has been in these last few years. It seems all the democrats want to do is whine, but propose no real solutions. It turns people off to the democrats -- including me, and I am one. We need a positive action plan, not just criticism.

If you want a repuglican congress and president into the far future split the democrtatic party and that is what you would get. We must all stand together and fight the oppresion of the repuglican party. I am tired of their idea of supply side economics. It just helps the rich and leaves the poor and middle class behind.

Democrats are being stifled by the Bush administration. There's very little we can get done right now. \n\nHowever, to answer your question with another:\n\nBesides bashing Democrats and making the rich richer and the poor poorer, what else have Republicans perfected?

Yes, we should follow the Republican lead and solve all of our international crisis through careful observation of cartoons.  You are very astute, you should run for the Senate.

They honestly don't deserve to do so, but the GOP has proven itself unreliable to truly govern.\n\nI still feel the GOP retains the edge, but it will be too thin to declare a mandate and they will have to deal with the Dems

Only if they're Republicans.
