I'm still amazed we ever won the Revolutionary War.
I like your sincerity. It's time to let the RNC know what the real base thinks about a bunch of panty-waists thumbing their nose at the Constitutions. The fact that we are even debating the idea that ALL judicial candidates deserve an up or down vote is a historical shame. The Democraps have once again perverted the will of the Founding Fathers and our side simply reacted by wimping out....yet again.
Yep, I have no illusions but Frist still has only about 48 votes.
Quite an over-reaction, I'd say.......
Why? Men were men back then.
Frist had nothing to do with this closed door compromise session, and the President is not a lame duck. You're aiming your anger in the wrong direction.
in a nutshell... exactly
Yes, but we traded this for possibly two Supreme Court nominees.
Bingo! That's ALL it would've taken - a clear, concise message from the National leadership that ANYONE voting against their party gets ZIP, ZERO, NOTTA - and they will fund the opposition candidate.
Yet, NO-ONE - not Dubya, not Rove - did SQUAT to get the RINOs in line. TOTAL AND COMPLETE FAILURE!!
OTOH, You betcha this is what the Dems did. And worse.
In the words of Lt. Gen. George S. Patton, "I don't like to pay twice for the same real estate." We're just going to have to re-fight the RATs again....and that wimp Frist is no Patton. McConnell or Allen should lead this fight....Frist is no leader!
" the two-page memorandum of agreement, which cited "mutual trust and confidence.""
Reminds me of the Ancient Chinese war story: Two prince's armies meet across the river from each other. The 1st prince tells the 2nd to cross the river so they can meet for battle. The 2nd prince complains, "no, you'll attack my men while crossing the river". The 1st prince replied "No, we are men of our word and must fight with honor on the field of battle. Your men may cross the river unmolested" The 2nd prince's army proceeds to cross the river and is promptly slaughterd before reaching the opposite bank.
Here's another way to look at it:
The fact that the Democrats wouldn't stand together today has given the Republicans a win. The moderate Democrats, worried about the political ramifications of continuing to stonewall President Bush's judicial nominees caved and agreed to stop using the Unconstitutional tactic. When they agreed to do so, they found seven moderate Republicans to give them some cover with this compromise as long as they stop the filibusters.

No, I won't be happy.
A cabal of 14 just staged a cup of the Government.
Frist isn't worthless. He was ready to nuke.
He's just got 7 traitors in his midst.
Wow, all that because McLame wanted to compromise? Just damn.
Some were also traitors and cowards. The patriots were not a majority.
Thanks... a little older than I prefer, but I'd love to see him on SCOTUS!
