The 2006 election will prove to be an election to remember no matter what the outcome. No matter which party will win in November, this election will be in our memory for quite a while, similar to how the 2002 elections are still alive and well in many peoples' minds. At this point in time, I am not willing to predict the outcome of the 2006 elections. There are simply far too many variables such as terrorism, the Hispanic vote, out of control spending, and disgruntled conservatives.
I am willing, however, to discuss what the Republicans need to do in order to retain control of the Congress for the upcoming session. Above all, the Republicans must be Republicans. There are many types and categories of Republicans in this country of ours’. There are liberal Republicans such as Lincoln Chafee and Arlen Specter. There are conservative Republican such as Wayne Allard and Tom Tancredo. There are a whole host of Republicans that fall somewhere in the middle of the conservative movement. Republicans, no matter where they fall in the political spectrum, tend to unite on one issue – fiscal responsibility. Before you laugh at that statement, consider something rather important. Our elected officials don’t necessarily represent our desires. Republicans, whether they are conservative or RINO Republicans, tend to want fiscal responsibility. That, I believe, is the issue our elected Republicans must respond to as soon as possible. There is no option for Republicans but to become fiscally responsible again. If they don’t, they will lose control of the Senate. I have no doubt about that possible outcome under those circumstances.
Another issue the elected Republicans must face is religion. Religion, contrary to what many RINO Republicans think, is not a dying force in this country. On the contrary, religion as an entity is growing, especially among college students. Religion is therefore a key that Republicans must embrace. RINO Republicans consider religion to be like an alkaline battery for the GOP. They believe religion is powering the party now, but it won’t in days to come like how a battery will only power an archaic CD player (I’m sorry, but everyone should have an MP3 player or an iPod by now) for a short time. That, I believe, is not the case. The GOP has a very pro-religion aspect in its goals at this time, a luxury the Democrats are sorely lacking in their platform. Unlike what some of the Republican senators have been doing, the Republican Party must embrace most conservative social issues and get some work done in that arena of politics.
If the Republicans do these and other important steps in the remaining months of 2006, I believe they will have a very good chance of keeping the Senate. Whether Senator Specter and others do that is another matter that is out of our control. Let’s hope their more aware colleagues get through to them before November.
