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.
So do I Soul Seeker, so do I. Do you know when are they running for re-election?
The Republican seat in Nebraska is safe if we defeat Hagel in the primaries and have a new real Republican, I am not worried a Democrat will win it.
If Chafee is gone in Rhode Island by defeating him in the primaries, his seat is gone to the Democrats, make no doubt about it. Do you know what is Chafee vote in the Senate, is it 60% GOP/Bush 40% against GOP/Bush? If this is the case it will be still better than a Democrat Senator from Rhode Island with 99% against GOP/Bush.
I just watched this ....display on Cspan, I missed it today.
I'm to the point where I would rather vote for a losing conservative candidate than a winning RINO. Myabe it's just the welling up at the anger, but for pete's sake, we've had congress for a decade, and the democrats can still run the place whenever they feel like it!
I really wish we had a third party, a Conservative Party...in places where the Rep is a Conservative, we'd support him, in cases where the Rep is a RINO, we can run our own Conservative candidate...just one election cycle would remind these bums who really elects them.
I'm just venting right now, but after watching this, I feel like voting Libertarian, or gasp! Green in 2006 congressional races. Arrrgh....
