Cornyn: Pitch big tent to win back Senate
By Bridget Johnson

�Obviously, President Bush, there are some Democrats who�d still like to sort of kick him around even after he�s gone,� Cornyn said. �And I just don�t think it will work. Obviously, people know we have a new president, there�s been a vote for Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, and they�re pretty much in charge and running the place. And I think the next election will be based on their record.

��So I think there�s going to be a lot of opportunity for us there. I don�t think it�s going to be about the 43rd president; I think it�s going to be about the 44th president and the Democratic Congress.�

2. Yeah, they'll have pissyfits to derail Obama

until the next election so they can say..nothing got done.

Obama tried to get common ground and I think that's an important part of his strategy..so now he can go ahead with whatever next they're going to do.

We will win.

4. Obstructionism, that's there plan because that is all they have left

The want to keep Democrats from getting anything done so in 2010 they can malign the party. The fact that the country is headed toward economic and possible social collapse is of no concern to them. All most all of the conservative boards I visit their main topics are about 2010 & 12 and how great it will be to get Sarah (I don't know my ass from a hole in the ground) Palin elected as President.

These people are a threat to America.

9. Not to defend the republicans

but there were a few items that got added in the stimulus bill that everyone knew the republicans wouldn't like.

As far as Rush goes, yeah the man is despicable. It pains me every time I see someone here use the term repug, or re-thug, because those seem like terms that Rush would use. The man is horrible, and we should not adopt his vernacular.

When fighting a monster, we should not become one ourselves.

10. I'm with you on the repug and re-thug thing and other little

cutesies I see here and other places which, like you, I put them in the category of those who have no argument. That, and I also have an infinity for complete sentences. :toast:

6. The wheels have fallen off the bus

and the Repubs are getting in the way of the guy who's trying to put them back on.

They keep insisting that they will only accept alloy rims with low profile tyres.
