The dogpile begins.



Blame it on McLame.

[thoughtomator]

Make no mistake people, conservatives are being kept out of the judiciary in the same exact manner as were the black children kept from Southern schools in the Jim Crow era.

By some of the same people, too.

[cynicom]

At his very best, Frist is a limp wrist RINO. He is in charge, lay the blame at his feet.

[Lancey Howard]

Ditto what Dobson said.
The one thing I cannot figure out is why Pryor was one of the three protected nominees? That pandering punk is the first one I would have dumped after the way he stabbed his "friend" Judge Roy Moore, as well as America herself, right in the back.

[Noachian]

Who were the other 13 senators who sold out the country, besides McCain, and in return got nothing that we didn't already have?

[SmithL]

So what? The Judicial nominees get an up or down vote, and Frist keeps the threat of the nuclear option until the next time the obstructionists threaten a filibuster.

[Soul Seeker]

"We are grateful to Majority Leader Frist for courageously fighting to defend the vital principle of basic fairness. That principle has now gone down to defeat. We share the disappointment, outrage and sense of abandonment felt by millions of conservative Americans who helped put Republicans in power last November. I am certain that these voters will remember both Democrats and Republicans who betrayed their trust."

Ditto here. I have no desire to punish Frist or the others that held the line. My fury is on the cabal and I want them to pay dearly. make them bleed and regret the day they ever betrayed our constitution and the people that put them in power.

"I am certain that these voters will remember both Democrats and Republicans who betrayed their trust."

You are damned straight about that, Dr. Dobson.

[G Larry]

So Dr., are you willing to convey the message that we're going to replace those pretending to be Republican leaders.

[bulldozer]

Now the Republicans are going down the river without a paddle.

[MurryMom]

Dobson bitches too much for my tastes. Is is that time of the month?

In this deal the American people are the big winners. There are no losers. Look on the bright side. The Bolten nomination is dead now.

[Milhous]

Remember the RINOs!

Dr. James Dobson Blasts Filibuster 'Betrayal'

Uh oh, you can just smell another book on the way…

[Raycpa]

I really don't see how we could force the rats to filibuster so we can get rid of it. Its no surprise that in the face of defeat they would retreat in hopes of using it again.

[ModelBreaker]

"We are grateful to Majority Leader Frist for courageously fighting to defend the vital principle of basic fairness. That principle has now gone down to defeat. We share the disappointment, outrage and sense of abandonment felt by millions of conservative Americans who helped put Republicans in power last November. I am certain that these voters will remember both Democrats and Republicans who betrayed their trust."

This is too generous to Frist and the administration. Were any of the seven R's who bolted told that if they did, they would receive no support from the RNSC in the next election, that the President would seek out and campaign for a R that would support his judicial nominees in the next primary election, and that the Senator's state would not get a single piece of pork ever again?

Of course not. And that's why the seven were free to bolt. There was and will be no price imposed by the national party for betrayal on the most important issue of this congress. Accordingly, Frist and the Administration were just as much to blame for this fiasco as McCain.

McCain and his ilk are just being themselves--weak people who think that the current Supreme Court is doing a pretty good job. Why should they not betray their party if there is no price?

[jla]

Got any room over there at the Constitution Party for a beleaguered Reagan-Conservative?

[Lester Moore]

betrayal by a cabal of Republicans

Goodbye Republican Party.

[Walkingfeather]

Someone needs to post the picture of Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown. I sense that Dobson will call for a conservative party that will split the repubs and dems. And they will have to cater to that party for anything.
