He was politely saying "Don't mess with this." In my observation, when he is "very polite" like that it tends to mean—watch it.

Just a question: What kind of leverage could the "watch it" hold? Sometimes I feel like we're going to a war with a bb-gun when dealing with the underhandedness of the Liberals.

I think that is an overestimate of liberals, and underestimates us. There are significant things that have changed since the last time we went through this.

We hold both houses and the presidency which allows an easier (not easy, but easier) process. Frist can still go nuclear if he needs to. And part of me thinks they have been holding fire until this exact fight.

Second, the liberals no longer have a monopoly on the msm. We own talk radio, and we have a fairer outlet in FoxNews...which owns the cable race. Plus, the Internet is making serious headway.

Grassroots/red states are more solid than they have been for years. Despite the carping.

So see...we have lots to be thankful for. It could be much, much worse.
