Considering how the Republican majority in Congress couldn't even break the Democrat's filibusters, I'd say that they'll pretty much rubberstamp anything Kerry sends 'em.
This point was made and I, for one, was unable to refute it. I find it disturbing that the majority of the republicans who hold elected office, have adopted the M.O. of the democrats and have abandoned conservative principles.
If Kerry is elected, can we really expect the close pal of EMK, Orrin G. Hatch, to work with fellow Republicans to block Kerry initiatives?
