Mister Baredog-

“[H]e needs a filibuster to call for it right?”

I believe so.

“[T]he DUmbocRATS as we do they will undoubtedly overplay their hand.”

Yes, this is the most incompetent Dem Senate I’ve seen in my lifetime, However, one would love to play this GOP in a game of poker. Bluff and raise, and the GOP folds.

That is the frustrating part. These guys have been getting dealt great cards, and they just don’t know how to play them.

Baredog, reminds me of the old movie- the Cinncinati Kid. At the big game, there's a guy who sits with eyeglasses, pen and paper who calculates odds; another who stammers and sweats, and gets bluffed out of the biggest pot- the GOP is a combination of the two. The winner of that game, is the guy who knows the game.

Within the GOP right now, I don't see anyone who exhibits "political instincts". They have "surival instincts", i.e. they know how to get their job and try to keep their job. But, this "corporate senior vice president CYA, turf mentality", is a defensive posture- the GOP has no concept of offense.

I keep thinking that it's possible that FRist was the one bluffing, what with all the RINO's in the GOP.

I think we'll get another chance to see if that's so. Your point is well taken however.

As looooong as we've waited for something to happen I find myself just as frustrated as the rest of us.

The DUmbocRAT's continue their decline, they are no longer even acting respectable, just angry, it's pathetic.
