We really didn't, and that's the problem.
Until we have a reliable 60 votes in the Senate (like the Democrats had for almost half a century between the 30s and the late 90s), we won't have the Democrats "on the ropes."
The only rational, unemotional, and workable solution is get out there and work hard to increase the number of reliable conservative votes in the Senate in 2006 and 2008.
AMEN!!
Spoken like an old pro. Yep, that's it. And some real smart tacticians need to decide which of the 7 Dwarf RINOs, if any, should face primary challenges. The last high profile RINO that Club for Growth took on was Arlen. He isn't one of the 7 Dwarf RINOs, is he acting better because of Toomey? Probably not .. six years is a long term.
