There is no lies here the point Rush makes is clear and his stand on this is clear and its clear to me that the Gop was going to cave until the outrage from Rush against the GOP was on his show for almost 2 hours yesterday and the calls started to pour in about the peoples outrage.

Total, unadulterated BS.

Next you'll be saying that YOUR posting on FR is what caused the whole thing.

Rush went with a story that was WRONG -- even Rush said HE was wrong; and now you're here trying to make it something that it isn't. As usual, you're willing to go to any exteme to make your point.

Totally bogus.

And therein is the reason so many have been discussing this issue with you, Todd.

It was a false story that the GOP was going to cave.

You admit on one thread that you understand that and say you were wrong.

And yet....on this thread you state the 'cave of the GOP' was real and only Rush and the outrage of the people stopped this cave.

Thank you....now we can stop trying to discuss this issue with you. You have made your position crystal clear.

Either you were dishonest when you stated you had been mistaken on the other thread....and earlier on this thread, or you are dishonest with the statement right here.

Which brings us full circle to questioning.....WHY?

Here is the last paragraph of the National Review article that headed the original thread that was already in progess (hours before Rush's program began) when fretting over the Fox article was posted, and then it was noted that Rush was under a false assumption due to relying on the Fox article:

Meanwhile, the Democratic filibuster goes on. Sources say the Republican leadership has still made no decision on whether or when to call for a vote to cut off debate and force an up-or-down vote on the nomination. At the moment, Republicans, who have all 51 of their own votes plus four Democrats, would fall five votes short of the 60 needed to cut off debate. But Republicans believe they are making progress and that the filibuster is beginning to take a political toll on moderate Democrats who are so far supporting the filibuster. Thus, the talking will continue. "We are on this next week," one Republican says. "We're committed to it."

As I have stated several times now, clearly the Republicans have a plan and are saving going 24/7 as a last resort in order to take away the dems' bogus excuses for not wanting a vote away, one by one.

It is very clear the Republicans were not caving.
