Oh geez, not DeWine now too? I think he's up in 2006, maybe 2008! If they cave because of these fools I hope they pay a big price when they run for reelection.
But then again, if the Pubs let them ruin it they probably don't have the stones to punish them.
I want a vote so we can see the record of the RINOS and see how many, if any, Dems vote with the GOP like Lieberman or Nelson.
In these very long threads, many items get lost. I'm going to reprint (again) three of them - first from me
sorry: that "whip count" "compromise" is NOT acceptable.
It gives all the Demodogs the ability to say "Gee, whiz: it was not ME who voted against the minority woman" --- it was those rascally Republicans." ---> No accountability.
No compromise. Up or down majority vote is the only Constitutional option.
Second: the exact and proper tone from Soul Seeker:
Damn straight. A Republican can disagree with the President but under NO cicumstances will I tolerate betrayal.
ANY Republican that thinks he will win high office by stabbing the knife in the President's back is going to be educated when they lose in stunning defeat. Hear that Mccain? hear that Hagel and Chafee?
This president has won my Respect. I don't agree with everything but I will NEVER tolerate abuse toward him to curry favor with the MSM.
Third, from Howlin:
I had almost this same discussion with a Graham staffer in January; I told him flat out that they need to understand that MOST of us are what you would call "Bush Republicans" and that stabbing Bush in the back was NOT going to win them any popularity votes because we all felt like we had been robbed in 2000 of a "real" 4 year term for Bush and, now that he won so big in 2004, we DEMANDED that they support him for four years so he can get his agenda through.
Honest to goodness, they just do NOT get it; I told this same person that there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that could EVER make me vote for McCain under any circumstance and I swear to you, they were FLOORED that I wouldn't support him if he was the nominee.
My position is that WE worked for this four years and I damn well expect THEM to support HIM.
