Also, Mitch M'Connell is majority whip. he is not all that good at using his position as a soapbox and becoming a attack dog.

Maybe we need a new whip.

It's quite obvious what the motivation behind projecting a sense weakness by the Republican Senators in direct contradiction to the sense of purpose felt by the rank and file. They don't fear the loss of political power, the fear losing the trappings of power.
Regardless of whether they are in the majority or minority, they are still Senators. They fear becoming one of us again. They project weakness of the worse kind, cowardice. They no longer have ideals to hold sacred.
If Senator Frist fears the releasing the "nuclear option" to recapture the focus of the Senate and what was elected to do, he should quake in his boots at the thought of the unleashing of political Armageddon by conservatives.
If it costs the Senate, so be it. The path is narrow but well marked. If some of the more "timid" moderate Senators from the Northeast shirk, put them in with the Democrats.
And if not Santorum, make it Martinez.

I think it should be someone from the South,who is also capable of rallying the republican "moderates" ie.RINO's to conservative causes. Two names come to mind: Shelby of Alabama and Saxby Chambliss of Georgia. Do you have anyone better? Don't forget the RINO's have less power, because of the conservative guys who were elected in November.

Yo....

Ahhhh, yes. By the way, you're number two on a google search using "joycelyn elders safer guns". Congrats.

This is a sensitive subject and I am not gonna mention it because she [Joycelyn Elders] got canned for it, but I'll tell ya, she said much worse than this. And she said far stupider things, like “The way to combat crime is with safer bullets, with safer guns.”
-Rush Limbaugh, from his 1994 speech to incoming freshman congress

or... not ready for prime time administration

"...What's my name?....DENNY CRANE! (Trix are for kids)...

We're a blue state! God has no place here.

It's a good feeling, you know, to shoot a bad guy. Something you Democrats would never understand.

Americans... we're homesteaders, we want a safe home, keep the money we make, and shoot bad guys.

Lock and load!

There are two places to find the truth. First God and then Fox News.

Newt didn't help himself by straying from his marriage.

His indiscretion, at a time our side was trying to make a point about free willy's problems, was his downfall...not donations, etc.

Let's keep bangin' toes and keep holding their feet to the fire. We are making headway. Isn't it something when FReepers and others of like mind can get things going. Who said you can't turn an ocean liner on a dime?

Agreed, although if you think about it, the double standard can work in our favor as well...if we don't promote those who compromise it, or don't overlook questionable behavior because the person has political capital or power.
