As all this shakes out, the RR will be losing power within the Repub. party. It's simply in the results. I sure hope so. We need to have a choice. And as long as the Repubs are dictated to by the rabid racist religious right-wingers, we really have no choice. Dipy.

The RR only won in safe areas. All over the place the strident hard right lost. Yippeeee. Not really. Well they lost in the carolinas and if they cant win there, where can they win? It was great seeing Ralph Reed (who btw is about as appealing as an unborn fetus on the camera) squirm last night on msnbc. Question Mr.Reed: what do you do if you are a member of the Christian Right now? Answer: focus on the issues, Social Security and tax cuts. Ha Ha Ha what happened to PBAs and School Prayer - ha ha ha.

>Any politician who does not pay attention to what his voters are saying won't last long. Esp. in the House, where elections are frequent. It's called democracy.< And what were the voters saying a month ago, when over 400 U.S. Congressmen and women voted for Impeachment Proceedings? How do you explain why they voted the way they did, when actually even at the time, polls showed 60% wanted the whole thing to go away? There are only a few possible answers: a) Those elected Representatives voted what they believed to be right, or b) Those elected Representatives misread their constituents, or c) They read their constituents correctly, but were caught up in their own power-play against Clinton, or d) The constituents had a significant change of heart in the space of one month, a month when the Representatives were at home in their districts campaigning. I think it was part of a), b) and part of c) >As for how the RR is "taking it". Hahahahaha.< That doesn't explain or is even remotely related to why those 400 Representatives voted the way they did. And no, we don't have a democracy. "We have given you, madam, a Representative Republic"---Benjamin Franklin, to a woman who asked, on the sidewalk outside Constitution Hall.
