I thank you for giving me your opinion. I think it's wrong.
BTW, now that I've given you a condensed answer, you've rewarded me with a looong answer. I'll do my best to condense your answer without effecting the context.
The MSM was unable to protect the Democrats from losing their Majority.
With all due respect, that's a non-sequitur response. The MSM was unable to protect the Democrats from losing the Senate, nationally, yes. But it doesn't logically follow that the MSM is not able to hurt Chaffe, Snowe, Collins, Specter and maybe even Voinovitch in their home states. I think the MSM is able to and would.
As to RINO's, I have spent at least have of my posts targeting them specifically calling for their defeat in elections so the accusation is is all Frist all the time doesn't ring true in my case. Nor do claims Frist is even focus of half my concentration. rather than narrow specifically on him I generally denounce the while unit for being jellyfish. The majority of time I do focus on him is ONLY when a thread specifically is about him, as this was.
I appreciate the effort.
As to statements on Democrats they have been repeatedly raked over the coals but at a certain point blaming the Democrats for everything while we retain a majority begins to sound hollow.
Republicans are a majority. Conservative Republicans aren't a majority.
Do I believe Frist is working behind the scenes? Of course. But I don't trust the outcome. I have no reason to trust the outcome. Delay has delivered. The president has delivered. I've yet to see Frist deliver one important item at great obstacle and risk.
We're back to the same argument again. You say Frist isn't delivering. I say that their is no evidence that proves that the RINO's are controllable.
If you wanted a condensed answer you should have stated so. Since you still haven't stated you'd prefer a brief response, i choose not to provide one.
But it doesn't logically follow that the MSM is not able to hurt Chaffe, Snowe, Collins, Specter and maybe even Voinovitch in their home states.
Read my response. I specifically was addressing Democrats. IF you wish me to addess the option of Republicans into the equasion relating to the MSM, fine.
Specter is widely believed to be concluding his last term in office. The press is irrelevant in such a scenario. Chafee, Snowe and Collins are dependant on Liberals for office as much as they are dependant on conservatives. Their gamble has always been that Republicans would vote for them no matter what so they would kiss up to the Liberals and stab the party that brought them to power in the back. My response is that they betray us on this issue, and they can forget conservative support that would make it very difficult to win without. Chafee is already in serious trouble precisely because Republicans don't like him, and Democrats would prefer a Democrat rather than a RINO.
I personally want them defeated either way so I'm not particurly sympathetic to the idea we have to accomodate those that we cannot depend on and only hurt the cause of conservatisism being advanced.
Republicans are a majority. Conservative Republicans aren't a majority.
Frist is the leader of the Republican Party. Not the Conservative party. If he cannot unify the Senators than he is failing at his job as majority Leader.
We're back to the same argument again. You say Frist isn't delivering. I say that their is no evidence that proves that the RINO's are controllable.
Which is why I stated this debate is over. I a tired of talking in circles and have to head to bed.
