Uh, what reasons?
As to your insults.....sticks and stones, and all that. Millions swallowed spit to defeat the boogeymen - Gore and Kerry. Those same millions are getting the message from the action of the folks we have elected. Those same millions will not forget in 2008, if Frist goes wobbly.
Take that to the bank.
Frist won't run in '08. He doesn't have the stones for it. If he does run, he will get nowhere, and that's exactly where he should get.
It's fine to actively oppose Frist, even to demand that he be fired as majority leaders.
It is not fine to withhold support from Republican senators, or the Republican '08 nominee, when faced by the Democrats.
Why are they weak? Because 1) many of them disagree with us on some of the issues; 2) many of them are afraid of being called names by the media and by their colleagues; 3) many of them are lazy; 4) many of them just don't understand what we're up against.
Our goals with these people should be to replace them with GOOD Republicans when possible. Often, it isn't. So we also need to work on items 1-4 that I laid out.
