Senate Backbone in the GOP

Ohhh Yeeaaahhh,, three thumbs up for GOP senate leadership on the various Iraq proposals in preventing any of them from ever being passed. The Dems ran like the "stuck pigs" they are and are as scattered and as hard to nail down on an issue as piglets are to catch, see what happens when you grow a spine. Those of us bloggers that signed and promoted the NRSC Pledge, championed by Hugh Hewitt on his radio show, will never truelly know our impact. The signs are encouraging that the GOP caucus is back on its feet and ready to fight, maybe they should watch a few Stallone or Van Dam movies and get that spirit back, you know Rocky against the Russian or Kickboxer. People like a solid leader, a winner to get behind, our love affair with sports is a perfect example, sporting activity is a release for the energies of youth and a crucial building block in building leaders. As long as the GOP sticks to its conservative guns it will win every fight, if they go weakkneed, the Reagan-Gingrich revolution will mean nothing. They must stand firm in the face of liberal lunacy to expect any chance in '08.
"stuck as with a spear or arrow"

Another commentor, Charlie, chose to argue about the environment and Global Warming while the Barnyard is fully suuportive of clean air and water, and a well maintained park system. He just missed the point that the environmental movement need not be highjacked by the far left socialists. The Goat is a mountain goat, not a sheeplike barnyard goat, sure footed and hardy in the most adverse conditions, we like to slam ours heads together to solve disputes, in the political realm that means concrete ideas and solutions to problems. I think most Barnyard denizens would agree that the Gov't is the least efficient vehicle for change and that the free market combined with the ingenuity of free people can deliver where the gov't could never aspire to.

A couple articles from Townhall for Charlie's benefit: Debra Saunders and Paul Driessen. The Barnyard is opeb to fact based debate on global warming, Al Gore talking points will be summarily dismissed or ignored if offered with a closed mind. Do humans have an impact? Probab;y, but to a much lesser scale than the whackos want us to believe so they can control us. As the Goat told Charlie real soutions are best left to the free market forces that power us. The Katrina debacle is a perfect example of why the gov't is lousy about doing anything and the Dems want to give control of healthcare to this monstrosity. Its political, if they got it through they would blame the GOP for its failure, not its basic failed premise. The elections in '06 may prove to be more a rejection of loonbat policy than a rejection of conservative Reaganite policy as the new Dem majority faces the same hurdles they put up. They can cry foul all they want and their hypocrisy will be open for all to see as well as their record. Real debate, bring it on, was the message and the Dems ran like the cowards they are.
