The Republican leaders in the House and Senate should be having weekly press conferences — attacking Reid and Pelosi for causing the price increase of oil by not passing energy legislation.

Who are the Republican leaders in the House and Senate?

Few people know that they are John Boehner (R-OH) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Nearly everyone knows Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, even when they were minority leaders before 2006.

Why do all the Republicans hide and leave the heavy lifting to GWB?

Nancy and Harry should be going toe-to-toe with Boehner and McConnell like the Democrats did against Newt Gingrich in the 90’s.

These Republicans are a bunch of wimps, quieter than church mice. There are no strong willed Republicans in Congress anymore. Even though many of the Democrats are truly hateful, they get all the media attention.

We need to drill the Democrats for a failed oil policy — with a constant beat of the drum from now until November.

Although I agree with almost all of the posts on this thread, I think you have hit the nail on the head.

I have long complained of GW’s inability to communicate with the public regarding various serious matters; but the rest of the repub leadership (if I may exaggerate enough to call them leaders) has been totally cowardly, ineffective, inept and due the consequences they will justly get in November.

You can't put guts in someone who is born without them. So trying to goad them into action is useless. We will just have to go through the cycle of seeing them replaced by dims and then later the dims replaced by persons with the guts to fight.

One of the senators from my state, Dole, is a #1 example of the “go along to get along” wimp RINO'S. I will not vote for her.
