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.

Yet, it is just amazing that we always lose. The dems will win no matter the rules, no matter the discomfort, no matter how many times they have bad news - they keep plugging along an inch at a time. This determination with the knowledge that the rules are for others not them insures this.

Everytime we have a report of good news for us, there will be at least one poster who says "well, the left will just say this..........". Of course, they will twist whatever action we take, whatever win we get, whatever true fact is released - that is what the dems do - twist, lie, cheat, reinterpret, rephrase.

Yet, we always come back and say well the people will see what they are and get disgusted. But, no, many of the people are the very same way in their lives and that is what they expect the dems to do - so they will not get disgusted.

So, as long as the playing field is this one-sided, the cheaters will win.

We are in a war and we are expecting the other side to play fair. It will not happen and so we will continue as we are now - losing inch by inch by inch wherever the left cheats, lies, distorts, reinterprets, bullies, reforms history.

What are we to do? Just consider this a war and handle it that way - same as Bush is now doing with Iraq (non-weapons of course). We have to clean them out - we can't negotiate with them, we can't make them play nice, they will not be tied down to the truth, the good of the country, what is right - they are dems.

I don't care what they say about what we do. We do it to protect the country. I don't care what action they will take against us, make them fight. I don't care about being seen as "nice guys", this is a war and the nice guys are getting slaughtered even though they are the majority.
