Since the Senate is so close, WHY arent we insisting on sharing committee Chairmanships and and equal number of Majority/minority members like the Donks did in 2002????? Do REPS have no SPINE????????????

Nope. We don't. We just give in, time and time again, rather than simply get what needs to be done done.

I doubt that Allen has the votes, I'm pretty sure that his advisers know this, and if we had leadership, they'd be on the phone making a deal right now. Horse trading - we'll stop contesting lost causes if they allow up/down votes on nominations or some other concession. Instead, we'll wait, Allen will go away in a whimper, and we get nothing.

As for demands to share power - eh. What of it? Soreloserman tactics. It was our job to win, we lost, let them have a crack at it, and somewhere along the line, figure out how to actually get Bush to use his veto.

Do you think you could you could trust the word of one of the Democrat leaders? I don't. Bush offered them the olive branch too many times to mention, and they never cut him a break. They have done all in their power to destroy any nomination or bill he proposed. It's been disgusting watching some Republicans go along with them because they are RINOS...if that much. I hope John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Chuck Hagel are soundly defeated when they have to run again.

There may be a deal to downplay the FBI investigation of those phony phone calls in return for Allen going away.
