Unfortunately they are right. This three-ringed circus in Florida is a disaster for the GOP and conservatives.
"Unfortunately they are right. This three-ringed circus in Florida is a disaster for the GOP and conservatives."
And the disaster can be averted if the Republicans would just do what they have SAID they were going to do.
Examples:
Republicans speak of Nuclear Option, but don't pass it.
PASS IT.
Bush and Bush speak of the travesty and injustice concerning Terri Schiavo.
INTERVENE.
Congress issues subpoenas and passes a law requiring de novo review. The law is NOT struck down by the federal courts.
ENFORCE THE SUBPOENAS, and INVESTIGATE THE JUDGES who ignored the law and did NOT give the legally required de novo review. Impeach them if it is shown they willfully disregarded the clear instructions of the law.
The Republicans in the Florida Senate did not pass the bill to save Terri.
REPLACE THEM IN THE NEXT ELECTION.
Etc.
The Nuclear Option is the biggie. Republicans have nowhere to hide on this. They have promised it, but they refuse to deliver. THAT is what is going to cost them their majority. The solution is real, real simple: DO WHAT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO DO.
That's it.
That's all.
Anything less, and it is a disaster for the GOP and conservatives, a SELF-INFLICTED disaster.
You cannot expect to lie to people and hold onto power.
When you campaign on something, once you get power you had damned well better DO IT. You don't have the "option" to welch on your promises, not if you want to KEEP power anyway.
