Reading through the comments, I see avid, near-unanimous support for what Tony Snow wrote.

GOP LEADERS: THIS IS THE VOICE OF YOUR BASE SPEAKING. IGNORE IT AT YOUR PERIL.

The last time I looked, the Democrats were even more unpopular than the Republicans.
In fact, with all of their sedition and cowardice--- the Democrats are the France of U.S. politics.

' the base'. that's exactly what I told Ken Mehlman's office....don't be fooled by the MSM and their manipulated polls. Listen to the American people....they are the true base for the President and the Repub party.

"GOP LEADERS: THIS IS THE VOICE OF YOUR BASE SPEAKING. IGNORE IT AT YOUR PERIL."

AMEN.

Tony nailed it when he said: "They have forgotten the most important rule of political survival: If you want to remain an incumbent for long, you don't jettison your principles. You act on them."

Tricky Ricky Santorum has jettisoned his principles, turned his back on those who brought him to the dance...and come Novmber 2006, he's going to be the former Senator from PA.
