Sitting It Out
Rick's going to love this one.
I'm pretty sick of the spending and all this cronyism on the part of W is eight kinds of lame. So in next fall's national elections, I'm thinking very seriously of sitting out. Alabama has a Senator up for reelection; Jeff Sessions is a good man, but he may have to win without my vote. I've got a Democrat Congressman; I won't be voting for him, but I may not be voting for the GOP candidate, either.
If I sit one out, I'll be back on the team in 2008, but this nonsense has to end.
See Rod Dreher and the Michelle Malkin link that Rick referenced earlier.

I completely with your first sentence, but then you lose me. I feel the same desire to "punish" the Republicans we worked so hard to put in office and who then let us down or at least not to "enable" their continued bad behavior. However, I think the alternative would be much worse. Sometimes, I feel like we need to kill the Republican party in order to save conservatism, but, in my limited experience, winning is better--find Republicans committed to fiscal responsibility to challenge big-spending incumbents and put pressure on them. Perhaps, the President's falling poll numbers following his goodie-bag speech will make some politician take notice that you can't spend your way to re-election.
