I told my right-wing media friend that for stamina I would take Republican Strom Thurmond over any Democrat they are going to come up with. The list goes on and on. I am not celebrating Jeffords for leaving by the back door. I was very happy with all our Republican leaders. They believe in the things I believe in and they never let me down.
Nobody likes to see change in Washington, particularly when there are so many jobs at stake.
You are wrecking our entire conservative agenda. That's why I'm so respected. Prayer in schools, anti-abortion, education, and they are making sure Bush can't appoint any conservative judges now that they are in power. If it wasn't for the moderate press, Jeffords would never have left the party. Of course there is going to be a lot of name-calling now and a movement to get John Warner his job back as chairman of the Armed Services Committee on the grounds he is a moderate Republican and was not part of the White House bloodbath.
