The way past leaders reigned in their troops and PRIOR to this debacle. You take away perks and privileges and committee chair posts and MONEY and everything else you can think of. You makes their lives a living hell and you promises them the world ( who cares if you don't deliver? ) down the road, for hanging in there. How else do you think it works? *sigh*
And you run ANYONE against them in their next primary regardless just to make them waste time and money.
Gee, no kidding? :)

How do you know that McCain, Graham and Warner haven't been threatened with the loss of perks and privileges? Do you think that McCain and Graham really care what a lame duck president and a lame duck leader think? Three years down the road Bush won't be here. Three years down the road Frist certainly won't be here(with people like you throwing him overboard). Heck these seven can simply cross party lines and become part of a Democrat majority and all except Graham would probably get reelected.
Yet it's easy for you to say Frist isn't doing enough to rein them in.

McCain to Frist:Why should I. My constituents like me, the press loves me and your base -- people like nopardons -- will throw you overboard in a NY minute. Heck I'll be here and you'll be long gone.
See a doctor.
