WE ARE THE MAJORITY, WE SHOULD START ACTING LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you can write the President and Senator Frist and explain to them how to pull this off..... reckon?
The Republicans are the majority as far as party name goes. But as has been displayed the 55 players within that party act quite often as individuals regardless of party and the people of their state continue to send them back.
A majority rules in many cases and places but in the Senate a majority isn't always the controlling factor. In fact much of the senate operates upon unamimous consent or with out it things don't get done. They have become over the years a little fiefdom answerable to very few, imo.
maybe you can write the President and sen Frist.
you bet there are things they could do.
ever hear of coat tails?
ever hear of VETO,
i know that the only sen up in 2006 is deswine
and the rest are due in '08 but do you think that other Leaders haven't called his subordinates on the carpet
and leaned on them? they always want something and withholding your public support is a big deal.
no more bills sponsored with pork barrel interests
supported by the boss?
you bet they could make a diff from the bully pulpet.
