"They never seem to learn that when they LEAD, people follow. At present, the GOP HAS no leader."


Frist has made it CRYSTAL CLEAR that he is running for the presidency.

The same media that's slamming him for considering the change in senate rules is the same media that will paint him as a lackluster leader in 2008 for refusing to do it.

The best bet is to enact the change now, so that it'll be old news in 2008.

Agree, totally. In fact, they've already waited too long.

The Republicans should make the case against the filibuster by...

1. Pointing out that it is NOT in the Constitution.

2. Showing how, historically, it has been used to defend a racist agenda.

3. Reminding people that no such rule exists in the House of Representatives.

If they are not willing to make this case then they ought to at least insist that the "unlimited debate" be a real debate. The filibusters ought to be required to continue debating the topic. Then they would have the audio & visual of weeks of blather to use in citing Democrats refusal to allow a vote even after X days or X weeks of talk. Get the public to say "shut up" and "get moving" to these guys.

Frist has all the personality of a box of toenail clippings. It would be a pleasure for me to vote against him. He's never shown me anything to vote for! I'd sooner vote for Trent Lott.
