I just hope whoever will be MINORITY leaders will be backed up by the rest of the party. I am so tired of all the pub leaders being thrown under the bus the minute the MSM doesn't like them.
Let me again go over the list. Who stood up for any of them??
Newt
Livingston
DeLay
Hastert
Boehner
Lott
Frist
Now, you may argue over any of them, but at the first squeak from the DBM -- they were thrown over.
The only victory we had over the Dems was Daschle. Everyone else is still around.
We will now have a covicted criminal in charge of the House Intelligence Committee.
No Republicans in office as far as I can recall, at lease none stood up for them for long.
Republicans in office tend to get out of the kitchen once it gets hot.
Lott is an interesting study, however. He made an appearance on the Broken Government program on CNN (I watched ten minutes tops) and said he was very upset that Frist worked to overthrow Tom Daschel, that it was "unseemly" for the leader of the senate to work against the leader in the opposition party. That was a side of Trent Lott I didn't like seeing...
