Four of those think that they are, but it is McConnell that holds the strings.
Am I the only one who thinks he looks like the Mason Verger character from Hannibal?

^^Even though I am a liberal Democrat, I still vote for him. He has done a lot for the state... probably as much as Alben Barkley or Henry Clay. Too, he has done some personal favors for relatives, and though he doesn't seem to be a nice guy, He actually is.
That's the point...they ALL do a lot for their state/district, such that we reelect them regardless of any and all political beliefs. "Hate Congress; Love Your Congressman" is a well known political phenomenon.
And, of course, I fully distinguish between political beliefs and general "niceness".

Republican party is in shambles. At the moment, Sarah Palin is the future of the party. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.
Newt Gingrich may have to get back in the ring.
There's a crisis inherent in having libertarians and social conservatives in the same party.

The fact that PALIN is the future is truly a shame. Perhaps true conservative movement will be born out of this mess. I might actually be interested if they kicked the religious freaks off deck.

I don't object to Republicans at the local level, because local issues are so different than national issues.

IF it stabilizes, then yes its basically 1984 all over again and it'll be a landslide.I am VERY optimistic about the next 18-24 months. If the economy stabilizes like I think it will, nobody they put up against Obama will win.
Still massive problems even if it does stabilize. However, all he needs to do at this point is prevent us from a total collapse. If he's able to do that, I agree that he deserves a second term.
