They new this would be defeated and they did it so they can get cover and move on.

The Republicans can't even win on an issue that 75%-80% of the public agrees on.

I don't think that's fair to the GOP. It's nowhere near 75-80% in the polls...

We didn't get a majority. But we showed surprising strength on the issue the Left and the media consider controversial. The majority of the Senate did NOT reflect the true sentiment of the country. This debate is by no means over. We simply live to fight another day and since the Left is arrogant, they will ultimately do something stupid. Which is what I am expecting down the road.

Thats because most of our Republicans are a bunch of spineless weenies.

The Republicans couldn't even get rid of the stupid low-flow toilet regulations. Do you really believe they have the guts to pass any legislation with real weight to it? It has been mostly downhill since welfare reform was passed, and even that was watered down by the idiotocracy in the Senate.
