I don't need a Newsweek poll. I talk to people all the time and in this part of the country...it will be disasterous for the GOP If they DO NOT kill the Demo filibuster.

I am not in the Christian Right ....I want the filibuster rule changed

What a bunch of garbage.

Morris is entertaining, especially when he's beating up the Dems, but he has no clue how important this issue is to the Republican base, and just about every other Republican.

Nice try, Dick.

[woofie]

Also when does he think the Dems are going to ever let the Republicans pass anything ?

[CAluvdubya]

What was the link? It's gone now. (or just me hitting the wrong keys.....my motto is now "Nyquil makes you see double"!)

[jveritas]

Uh! Dick Morris the Master of WRONG Predictions.

[MHGinTN]

" ... but he [Morris] has no clue how important this issue is to the Republican base, and just about every other Republican." Don't count on it. Morris is known for his inaccurate predictions/advice where causing the Republicans to falter is useful to the democraps. Morris is a democrat in 'moderate's' clothing ... the man is an amoral shill.

Changing the rules in the Senate will be seen as the modern equivalent of the court-packing scheme of FDR.

Let's see if I have this right. When the Democrats were in power they changed any rule that would give them an edge over Republicans. But, when the Republicans are in power they have to abide by the rules that the Democrats put in place or be labeled extremists?

Does anyone else smell something wrong here?

[TheDon]

Naw! It's going to be a yawner. A footnote in history.

[whereasandsoforth]

I will stop voting in national elections and local elections for congress if the republicans piss away this opportunity. Why vote republican if the democrats are going to run the show anyway?

I will honestly turn my back once and forever.

Dick, your prejudice against Christians is showing yet again. And, btw, it isn't only Christians demanding this. Unfortunately for Dick since Christians DO care about the Judiciary he cannot see straight on this issue.

The GOP is becoming dangerously close to losing its Majority and it is not because they would dare to challenge the Judiciary, but because they are seen as caving to the Dems on every issue that matters to Republicans. And Judges top that list whether someone is a Christian or an unbeliever.

The Judiciary has assumed a form of kingship over the American people, and the American people have lost their patience on the matter. Those that do not fix this will be the ones to pay political consequence.

[Antoninus]

If the GOP wants a disaster, they'll keep coming up small when it comes to appointing judges. If there's not some serious movement on judges by election time 2006, I foresee an utter debacle in the mid-term election.

The spineless wusses in the Stupid Party™ better grow some nads... soon.

Why do people have to keep bringing up the toe-sucking thing? I hate hate hate feet. But anyway, what were we talking about again? :^)

author spends too much time inside the beltway.

Perhaps someone should remind him that republicans used UNPAID volunteers (and democrats used the oxymoronic PAID volunteers).
