"Rush was just talking about how badly this hurts the RAT party and their fundraising and trial lawyer support."

It hurts them in the long run, but in the short run those trial lawyers are still just as rich and *far* more motivated against us than ever before.

But in 5 years, they'll have far less money to spend against us.

Hurting them in the long run works for me. :o)

I'm not so sure. Alot of lawyers are furious that the Dems sold them out.

I know one laywer who is still steamed, and swears he will never give to the democratic party or any canidate ever again.

It did kind of surprise me, that no filibuster was used, and the dems caved in on this pretty easily.
