>But still, it’s more effort than most of the (R)s are putting forth.
That’s the thing that has me pissed with the Republican party!
They don’t put forth any real effort on their “party planks,”
like illegalizing abortion or reducing the size of government.
And then when one [amazingly] does, they get derided for it as
a ‘campaign ploy’ or ‘publicity.’ This has the cumulative effect
of making the Republican party a bunch of lying windbags; hell,
at least the Democrats are honest about trying to push for their
bad ideas!

Various (R) individuals (like DeMint) are OK. But there’s nowhere near enough of those. And the party as a whole has been so lame for so long, they have quite a hole to climb out of.
If Sen. DeMint shows up to announce the bill with twelve supporters in tow, he’s exhibiting credible conservative leadership. Show up alone spewing fire and brimstone when the ‘Rats have a 9-seat majority, and he’s standing for re-election in 4 months — stunt. Sorry, I like Jim DeMint, I think he’s a fine conservative, and I wish it were more than a stunt, but reality is reality.
