That's why it's such an infuriating letter. It is a letter that might have worked in the 1950's when people's only access to information was what they were spoonfed by the networks. It's just an example of the contempt that these people hold toward those that they are forced to court for votes to keep them in office. I think Frist's total disconnection from the Republican base on this issue alone demonstrates his total incapacity to be President. As I said, the only bright spot is that he's not running for re-election so that he's saving us the trouble for defeating him.

On that note, according to today's AP article, Senator Graham today is basically challenging us to vote him out of office - "Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. argued for finishing the bill before the November elections.

'This is one problem that is not going to wait until the next election," Graham said. "If you win or lose because you make a hard decision, so be it.'"

I, for one, have my checkbook all ready for any conservative primary challenger who wants to help make his wish come true.

I wish I had an alternative to Lugar. He was the only Republican running in Indy. I did not vote for him anyway, but it makes me so angry that he is so sure of his seat that he does these totally stupid things! I don't know who, if anyone is running against him. I'd be very tempted to vote for them, even if they were a dem, if they were conservative, they'd have my vote and money.

"I think Frist's total disconnection from the Republican base on this issue alone demonstrates his total incapacity to be President."

Does that mean he'll have the backing of the Weekly Standard for '08?
