There are a number of them, in fact the majority of GOP senators are made of the right stuff. Unfortunately, it's the McCain's, Chafee's and Specter's that we keep hearing about through the liberal media.
If no Republicans have stood up to the Dems, please explain how we purportedly have at least 50 votes for the nuclear option, according to McConnell. Any takers? I thought that they were ALL a bunch of limp wristed wimps.
Um, I don't buy for a second that we have 50 votes.
All of this is TALK. We want ACTION on the filibuster.
Problem is, all Frist and the spineless weanies (yes, I'm one of the ones who thinks our side is doing a VERY POOR JOB being the MAJORITY PARTY) will probably negotiate some wimpy "compromise" with Reid, that essentially leaves the problem in place.
I will believe it when I see it. Of course, hell may freeze over before then, I'm afraid.
2006 and 2008 are not going to look pretty for the R side if we don't move on this thing - and move NOW. I for one (along with many others) will sit out - more in protest and disgust against these idiots who won't do what WE sent them there to do in the first place. What good does it do to elect them if they just continue on the good ole' boy network status quo, and ignore the will of the voters? NOTTA.
'06 and '08 are gonna be a mess, IMHO. If the pubbies don't get the filibuster problem solved NOW, I fear we may see Democrat control of POTUS and both branches of Congress (they already control the judiciary).
THAT is how important this is!
Actually it is the Constitutional option.
Why haven't they already voted?
How many judicial nominees have been voted out of Committee that the Democrats oppose?
How about Bolton? Not only has he been slandered and lied on by Democrats, A "Republican stabbed him in the back as well.
I won't even mention Tom Delay lynching, aided again,by a "Republican" or how many judicial nominees that the Democrats oppose have been confirmed by the Senate.
