My mantra has been that they will receive no money and no votes until these filibusters are stopped. That pledge remains true.
But I draw the line at kicking Reps when they are finally doing what we want. These are STRONG statements from Frist, a strong pledge, a strong rebuttal that Reid could only meet with a 'wet kiss'.
Senator Frist, THANK YOU for this strong stance. Everyone should be appreciative. It's a good proposal that gives up none of the president's constitutional rights.
I doubt the Dems will accept. So it does come to whether you end the filibuster. We'll be watching. For the moment, I WILL give praise though.
I've said it before & I'll say it again:
This should be a "Come Home" vote for the Republicans.
Frist should announce to the Senate that if he loses it, he will resign immediately as Majority Leader.
Then vote.
I can't agree more. It's time to act like a majority party or be ready to become a minority party.
