Tucker's plea bargain: Republican's roll over. I hope not. What Tucker is hoping for is the Republicans will govern and the Democrats will get all the credit. Some perspective is required on some of the items mentioned in the let us be wimps status quo. For starters, nobody balanced the budget. A booming stock market with plenty of short term capital gains flushed the treasury. Welfare reform was crammed down Clinton's throat and after the third try he swallowed. The high tech industry created the economy of the Clinton years, not the government. Al Gore did not invent the Internet. Next, Kerry's got one constituency (the MSM) who don't care about anything he does as long as he occupies the White House and they will see to it in their daily propaganda that he is kept in a good light. During the Supreme Court nominee fights rest assured that the Republicans will be tagged as right wing extremists who wish to take all of our rights. If the Democrats are perilously close to insanity now does anyone really think they will somehow find common sense with a Democrat on the throne? Does the name Clinton ring a bell? I wouldn't characterize the Clinton years as wonderful coexistence. The MSM will use the Democrat talking points to identify a new Republican boogie man.

p>ZERO accommodations should be made. Let Lurch bumble on his own, assume the leadership and take it on the chin just like our current President. Kerry's foreign policy approach IS like Jimmy Carter's but without the grin. The Democrats will not abandon their play book for play nice and the Republicans had better get a new one with strategies designed to savage the opposition. Some self-restraint such as not undermining the government in time of war is acceptable, but that seems to be about it. For the sake of the Republic I hope the Republicans start using their majority tools to fight if there is a Democrat administration. If President Bush does prevail next week the same strategy should be applied to the Democrats. It doesn't matter what Republicans do or say because they will always be cast by Democrats as something less than nothing. br> -- Diamon Sforza br> San Diego, California /p> p> If Kerry wins, Democrats deserve terrorism. I just hope they start with Boston -- the heart of hate America Democrat traitors. I am a Veteran and I will not support a traitor in the White House. If Kerry wins, better get ready for a draft. How many Veterans want their kids and grandkids to support a traitor as Commander-in-Chief. Thanks, br> -- Howard Lee br> Bogalusa, Louisiana /p> p> I could not disagree with you more. I used to be one of the level headed conservative Republicans in this country who might have agreed with you. No longer, Michael Moore, George Soros, Al Gore, Howard Dean, James Carville, Paul Begala, Alan Colmes, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, etc. etc. etc., have convinced me that we are at war with the demonic Democrats as much as with the Islamic fundamentalists. This party is evil, not just wrong, but evil. I believe that these people are just like the Islamists, they understand only one thing, a swift punch in the face. Fight them, fight them, fight them at every turn! br> -- Kent Brown
