WTF ? the Republicans have power and no they refuse to use it to pass their agenda ?

Why the hell do we bother to vote for these retards on the Hill???

I would rather the RINOS be Republicans than Democrats.

But in cases like this they are little better than Democrats. They do not have the balls to act against the Democrats they are so alike.

Those four or five still vote for us a good portion of the time though. No Democrat Senator currently does so since Zell retired. Were they to switch they would no longer vote with us either.

Do you really want they on the other side completely? I don't.

That is how I see it too, the time to adopt rules has come and gone. Claiming to have a right that you clearly do not is setting yourself up to fail when the time comes to claim that right. Looks like once again the democrats have out smarted the GOP.

If the GOP did not have the power to change the rules when you are suppose to change the rules what makes the GOP think it will have the power to withstand a blistering media attack and howls of "dirty tricks" from demorcats all accorss the country. Another blown opportunity, GOP gets suckered once again. Wonder why the GOP always talks tuff but hardly ever does anything?

Think maybe it is us the GOP voters that are the real suckers?
