but between the RINOS and idiots like McCain, they barely have a majority most of the time.
Add to that, it will be a complete PR nightmare and you have to be real and know they are thinking about that too.
It's just my opinion, but I think it's past time to engage the battle one way or the other. I think what you're calling "a PR nightmare" would actually have quite the opposite effect if it were to happen at all. First, I think we could actually win the battle, or I wouldn't suggest we go into it, but, second, I believe that even if we didn't, it would just serve to galvanize the right-thinking voters. On the other hand, if they do nothing - or if they go along with some phony compromise - the voter base shrinks.
