And this is why I am absolutely flabbergasted, frustrated, by the fact that the PRESIDENT cannot twist enough REPUBLICAN arms to get this done. Again, I ask, are we, or are we not in the majority? And if we can't even get modest reform through a congress where we hold the majority....I ask you, what good is holding the majority? This is why the prospect of turning over numeric "control" doesn't scare the tar out of me. We can't get anything done when we're in the MAJORITY. What makes you think the rats will be able to get anything done when they hold a majority? I think it is far more important to concentrate on building a CONSERVATIVE base...than on maintaining a numeric Republican majority. The numeric majority that we have are ineffective wimps. Who needs them. We need conservatives. Rino's need not apply.
I suppose you forget about "Jumpin' Jim" Jeffords and the DUmocrats attempt to subvert the results of an election? How many RINOs vote with DUmocrats?
I really don't consider it a majority until RINOs are gone and there's a filibuster-proof majority.
