Well, in your first graf you say "they went and did it" and in your second, you say "it looks like they will." This seems premature.
Nonetheless, it is an opus of sorts, so welcome to the International House of Opus.
The anti-opus logo is coming soon.

You guys are making a big mistake! The Republicans will vote to end rules on filibuster. We have the 51 vote. Sens. Warner will be with us. He is holding out but will vote with us. I wrote Sen. Warner and Allen both will vote with their party on this issue. The democrats are in a hole and can't get out.I hope you are right. If the Repub's hold firm and get the judges, I'll stay loyally Republican after all.

I have never considered myself a republican. I am a conservative. Admittedly that leads to me vote republican the vast majority of the time. But I am a conservative first.

Making a big mistake? Because I'm not supporting a bunch of wimps with $$contributions from my family's budget? I don't think so.

Where is your proof that Frist made this deal with Reid. You are taking an AP crap story and making conjectures on your own.

I am getting pretty much sick of the whining and crying on FR, back in the day we would not have put up with this and flood Frist's Office with call, but now people would rather post about bolting and not pick up the phone or email their Senator,I did, FRiend. Thusly my incredible revulsion at the possible outcome.

'The Republican Party is the France of politics.'
super line.
Feel the same way. It is great to have an honest President, and I am not sorry I voted for him, but I do have serious disagreements and questions about the immigration issue, for one thing.
What worries me is that whoever ends up with the Dem nomination for the next cycle, has several big issues including immigration that, used correctly, could completely change the election dynamics. And they know it.
I feel as tho the present administration is giving away the store and I can't figure out why. I guess they are so removed from the realities of American life that they think they can decide what is important to us - without asking.
Also the Republicans don't seem to have much backbone any more. Maybe they need to schedule some 'listening tours' and forget about their 'talking points'.

I'm just wondering who the lucky rat is that will be elected in 08...

To: Lazamataz
Laz, you got good points, but I suspect that Frist doesn't have the votes for the nuke option. Snow, Chafee, McCain are three I can name offhand who should be IHOP spokepersons cuz they are great "wafflers".
To: Lazamataz
To be honest, I am hanging on by my fingernails, too.
I want a party that FIGHTS. I want a party that is willing to go down, way, way down, to the bottom of the sewer and fight the Democrats where they live.
To: man from mars
Agree. The AP story smacks of a trial balloon. The Dems want to be able to screech, "We had a deal ready on the table, but those INTOLERANT Pubs wouldn't take it! The nuclear option is unnecessary! We have a deal reaaaaadddddyyyyy!"
My gut tells me we have the votes and no "deal" will be accepted.
To: Lazamataz
Goodness, I know exactly what you mean, have had exactly the same thoughts.

Both of the real parties are just shaking in their boots because you've taken so many seats.Yeah right. Real parties. Neither one of them could stick to an agenda for more than 4-6 years. The Republican party at one time used to at least voice limited government positions. Not anymore. They're loose from their moorings and moving to the left as fast as they can. Not that the Democrats stand for anything anymore either. I'm not big L libertarian but I wouldn't waste my vote on either of the major parties if you paid me.

Do you remember the thousands of calls and emails we all sent to Wash. about Arlen Specter? Why do you think we are ready to give up on the GOP?

Do we even need the nuclear option? If we had spine we would make the rats hold the floor.All the nominees are not very conservative anyway.There are no Scalias in this group.This is all a farce.Find me one nominee that is to the right of Greer.

To: Lazamataz
I'm with you here. But what do we do exactly? The democrats are far worse, and the other parties out there have no chance in hell of having any effect.
Maybe there should be a Free Republic PAC/Caucus within the republican party actively holding the GOP's feet to the fire. Of course, it seems that we as a group don't agree on issues such as immigration either.
