WHY A DEMOCRATIC SENATE WOULD BE A DISASTER

POWER LINE (Paul):

I disagree with conservatives who claim that it's a matter of indifference what happens tomorrow or that a victory by the Democrats somehow would be a good thing. This is something that disgruntled conservatives said in 1986 too. But the Democratic takeover of the Senate that year caused Robert Bork not to be confirmed, and for Anthony Kennedy to join the Supreme Court instead. Twenty years later, we are still paying for that one. And some of the loudest complaints about the Supreme Court seem to come from "teach the Republicans a lesson" conservatives.

Federal judges and the SCOTUS have HUGE effect in our lives - from KELO to Hamdan, from property rights to the GWOT. If you're thinking about a protest vote - or staying home, then THINK AGAIN. If the Dems win, then the only thing between us and another 9/11 is a court order. Do you want your safety, and our national security determined by a federal judge endorsed by the ACLU, or by the Commander in Chief elected by all the people?

If you believe a robust and forward-leaning offense is better than trying to play defense, worrying about the rights of terrorists, and relying on so-called "1st Responders," then vote GOP.

REMEMBER: our REAL 1st Responders are our troops. Firemen are valiant and essential, but they always get the call AFTER an attack - and that's too late for me.
