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.

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.

Thanks for making my point. They didn't have the votes for the marriage amendment and they don't have the votes for the flag burning amendment. Why are they wasting time on this nonsense? Instead of taking their energy case to the public and fighting for support, they chose to crawl off with their tails between their legs

If Chafee and DeWine are environmentalist whackos why is the GOP putting their needs ahead of the rest of the party? Backing liberals with an R behind their name is still backing liberals. Why should conservative voters support big government Republican liberals when they can get the real thing with the DP?...If that's what they wanted.
