Exactly!
There is almost NO political price to be paid on this, unless you consider it a "political price" to have the elite media say nasty things about you.
To HELL with what the "polls" say about the "nuclear option" and John Bolton. Good God in His High Heaven, no one, and I mean no one is going to base a vote on how their Senator voted on John Bolton or Senate rules changes. NO ONE.
It's just like Campaign Finance Reform. Gutless wonders allowed themselves to be bullied into thinking the American People were clamoring for "reform" so those gutless pukes went for that blatantly unconstitutional bill (including Bush). But nobody cared, really. If they had stood up and done the right thing it wouldn't have made any difference come election day 2004. None.
Like Ted Nugent says, it's so simple its stupid.
