you need to get this straight in your thinking.
once and for all.
we DID not have the votes.
if we did go for the nuke option, the SEVEN would defect.
They want to remain in the place of power so THEY can, with demos at times and with pubbies at time, call the shots in a way that benefits THEIR agenda, careers and overall prestige.
THEY are calling the shots now, and will be brokering all deals from now on.
Frist is on acid if he actually continues to believe HE is calling the shots.
The seven just did, what jumpin jim jeffords did, to be the one brokering the deals for a season.
It's over.
It was over before we started.
If we had the power, FRIST would have gone NUCLEAR the VERY DAY the new Senate was sworn in. He didn't because he had NOT the votes then, and has not the votes now.
abortion is the issue.
no pro life judge will sit on the supreme court.
take it, to the bank.
THAT is what this is ALL about and that ONLY.
and the abort on demand MAJORITY are running the show, elected by a majority of their constituents and the nation.
It's who and what we are.
We need to get over it... cause that is the fact of the matter.
Frist and the pubbies can't get it up.
What's new?
Nothing.
"abortion is the issue."
I read a story about immigrants to Ohio, specifically Somalis. Some 18 year olds are on their 3rd child. By 26, some have at least 3. By 30, 5 or 6. Some women have 13, although a few may have died back in Somalia. Muslims don't practice birth control.
Run the numbers. Predict the future.
