Well, what does the sub on Rush think the GOP should do???: any suggestions???

Really fight - not just do something guaranteed to fail. Claimed that this was merely a staged event to appease those wanting a stronger showing from the GOP. Then he went on talking about Strom and his one man filibuster. Said how effective is something when you put a time limit on it? And, in reality they were not there the whole time but were scheduled for their time on the floor and then were in their offices sleeping or whatever.

Don't remember any real suggestions on what to do.

Woe is us, all our complaining and we do not have people serious about the situation coming up with real answers.

I didn't listen to whoever was the Rush substitute today, but what I am hearing indicates to me that he hasn't a clue about Senate rules or what we are up against.

If you force a full scale filibuster, every Republican senator has to be there 24/7, while the dems only have to have one at a time on the floor.

I think the Republicans are doing the best they can, and I amsick of the carping by radio hosts who don't bother to learn the mechanisms of the Senate rules.

We shoot our own because we are ignorant.
