NO RETREAT! This is war with this administration and we take no prisoners. The Republicans had better “man up” and hold firm. We will win this battle if they don’t cave in. If they do, they will be replaced in 2012.

You sing it brother! It appears the only men with balls on the Republican side are women. If this is correct, the Republican party is over. There will be revolt at town halls over the summer break from DC.

"We will win this battle if they don’t cave in. If they do, they will be replaced in 2012"

Will that make a difference? Given that this nation -and our very lives- are at stake it seems to me that's an excessively passive and timid approach.
