Well, they went and did it.
The Republicans look like they will wimp out, not exercise the so-called Nuclear Option, and Harry Reid will PERMIT two judges to be approved and disapprove four others. Does anyone think for a second the Democrats won't "go nuclear" in a heartbeat if the roles were reversed?
This seals the deal for me. I am a Republican no more. It seems it does not matter if I vote Republican anyways, all I get is more liberalism. I am a man without a political party. I am a conservative without a home.
Between Bushes enthusiastic embrace of illegal immigration, and our party's inability to get even moderately conservative judges approved, what's the freakin' point of voting Republican any more? What's the point of voting? I will get liberalism no matter how I vote. My main issue is guns, and it appears the Democrats have learned their lesson on that one, so it appears I will be safe on the firearms front. Everything else the Republicans stand for, they stand for in word only. They do not seem to want to act. Therefore, I do not seem to want to vote Republican any more.
This is my Opus -- not from Free Republic, but from the Republican party. Even when they have the majority, they surrender.
The Republican Party is the France of politics.
And those that don't care have to tell everyone about it :-)
Seriesly, the caves aren't just on the federal level. Up here in WisTAXsin (I only wish I could make the "tax" part as large as it is in reality, but then it would fill up a 1600x1200 screen), the RINOs are caving on one thing after another, from TABOR, to property tax freeze, to the minimum wage.
Good find. I see he spent several days keeping those "operas" going too. He is clearly very important.

Sorry for the late reply...I can only use the interent at certain times in my job. Lately, I'm too busy! Look, the Democrats are obstructing a Repub agenda. They are not putting out their own agenda. Believe me, it could get worse. If the Dems were in charge, we would be discussing universal health insurance, right to gay marriage, tax increases, right to death movement, liberalizing abortion, lowering age of consent for minors etc. It could be alot worse!

"A bipartisan coalition of Senators believe it is close to a deal ….The potential deal, spearheaded by Sens. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) and Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) ….would commit to opposing the so-called nuclear option to end judicial filibusters….In exchange, the six Senate Democrats would pledge to allow votes on four of the seven circuit court nominees who were already filibustered in the 108th Congress and have been renominated."

The GOP has the incredible knack for being able to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
Laz is better. He can snatch defeat out of any situation.

jjbrouwer seems to have a problem with everyone, and especially me, and especially that I'm bumping this thread.

Actually, I am happy to see you spamming Freerepublic 24/7. I think you fill the "useful idiot" role vacated by TLBSHOW.
