The Iraq debacle, along with $ 3.50 + a gallon gasoline and the Bush blind eye to Third World immigration, is wrecking the Republican Party. The Republicans need to lose to start winning again. As for Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland's Eastern Shore, he was not defeated for his stance on the Iraq War. Conservatives have been stumbling for years to find a conservative to defeat Gilchrest on the Eastern Shore. Gilchrest was pro-abortion. He supported DC statehood, the only Republican to do so. Gilchrest supported George HW Bush's tax increase of 1990. He supported the Brady Bill on gun control in 1994 in a rural district filled with hunters and gun owners. In State Senator Andy Harris, conservatives on the Shore finally found a candidate with money and brains to oust Mr. Gilchrest. Sent at: 2008 07 09
