If it were a vote loser

It is a vote loser. The media drives debate by what the talk about on the TV. In November you will find out just how little the voters care about the topics covered by the media.

The RP should be focusing on energy. Getting refineries on line, drilling off the coasts, nuclear power...not on a flag burning amendment.

This sounds like the gay marraige debate "oh no, they should be doing more important things" "they are wasting all this time" when it took, what one day?

The RP should be focusing on energy. Getting refineries on line, drilling off the coasts, nuclear power...not on a flag burning amendment.

As for energy, it takes 60 votes to accomplish anything. They don't have it. Chafee and DeWine are environmentalist whackos and the GOP probably doesn't want to expose them right now, since they are running for re-election.
