Silly and defensive for fighting back? Hell, we look that way already and the media portrayal will make it look even worse. So why in the hell not fight and fight dirty?

You really don't think this was one little tantrum do you? Reid and Co. have much more planned for our weak Senate leadership who continues to compromise when they should be leading.

I suspect the nomination of Alito and the failure of Plamegate to stay in the news sent these guys into their aggressive actions. and the result?

Plame, Wilson and the CIA are back in the news, Bush lied about Iraq is back in the news. Alito is a sideshow. And business in Washington continues as usual.

Is it any wonder we can't get people to show up and vote much less get active?

Yes they're "flexing their muscles" and threatening the Republicans for when the Confirmation Hearings come along. Threatening with what I don't know.
