Oops...I thought this was about the kind of blunts you smoke!!!

[MNJohnnie]

May find this thread of intrest

[Non-Sequitur]

Anyone who thinks that Blunt will be a temporary leader is fooling themselves. It'll be a year or two before Delay is brought to trial, and assuming he's found innocent why should Blunt just step aside and let him walk back into the leadership role? If Blunt gets it, then he'll keep it.

hmmmmm...very interesting

I hope not.

Actually, I'm hoping this is the 1st step in an internal republican revolution. The present leadership has gotten a little stale of late. Maybe some fresh blood is needed.


Also, since we have seen the "step in poop" effectiveness of DNC attempts to rule by slinging it. wouldn't it be great if Blunt activates the GOP to do what they should??

I hope not.

I hope so!

[cripplecreek]

I hope not but I hope the party remembers who elected them.

[tophat9000]

I'm not that up to speed on Blunt... but have we made lemonade out of the lemons the Dem's sent us this morning?

[GOPGuide]

Good for Blunt.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Can we make Spector and McCain and Chris Shays the first casualties of this Civil War?

[cripplecreek]

Well If you're on the side of conservative republican politics like small government and strong border control, Blunt is your man.

[Frohickey]

I hope these are Blunt's priorities.

Get the tax cuts made permanent
Repeal the 16th amendment
Get the FairTax passed

In that order.

I thought I heard DeLay tell Hume that the Republicans had never been more unified coming out of the caucus meeting. In fact, he said this is having the opposite effect that Democrats intended, was welcomed after a tough week of battles and the best thing to come out of this.

"The present leadership has gotten a little stale of late. Maybe some fresh blood is needed."

Agreed, and Hastert's powers are actually not as significant as Blunt's will be because Hastert only got elected to Speaker because he's a Delay crony.

Anything that weakens Hastert is good because Denny boy is a squish.

[GOPGuide]

Thoughts?

Thats lip service. Pence is heading a new (fiscal) conservative revolution. And it's about time because our guys in the house and senate are acting like country club republicans and we are all sick of it!
