We will have their votes. Do you know what type of pressure Voinovich, and Hagel are getting tonight from the White House, the Republican leadership, and the Republican base? A lot of immense pressure. They will go back in line and vote for Bolton. Be optimistic.
I am not of opinion Bolton's nomination is dead.
My attitude is based on the control of the Minority of the Majority known as RINO's and the inability of the GOP leadership, Frist in particular, to take control as Delay has done for the House. I'm tired of this small grouping controlling the outcome of the everything that occurs in the Senate especially when the only reason they are in power is because the base put them there. If the Republicans cannot accomplish a straight forward confirmation on Bolton, they can't manage the war over the Judiciary slated to come.
I am tired of seeing the Majority act as the Minority. I can handle political loss, I am not so tolerant of cowardice on part of the majority. I am not tolerant of the Left still running the senate when they were booted out of power. I've had enough.
Either they act like the Majority or they don't deserve to be the Majority. And at this moment, my tolerance of RINO's is at an end. I want Chafee defeated. I want hagel defeated. I want all these McCain-ite Mavericks run out under the same cloud of humiliation they seek to bring to us.
