"Are you done playing Chicken Little? We are still in this game!"
How? Where? We went from sure, guaranteed victory to absolute defeat hours before the final win.
My wife and I spent 8 years, hundreds of hours and a few grand working to get republicans in the senate and a republican president. In less than 24 hours the filthy RINO segment of our party flushed all that work right down the toilet.
I do not see how we can win in the short term and I doubt we can win in the long term.
The real ramifications of this disaster will be months playing out. The dems now KNOW they can roll us. They know the RINO will cave, appease, or commit actual treachery to insure their place on the Sunday Morning talk shows.
Show me how we can reverse this. I just don't see it. The President is waffling instead of showing real anger while Frist has shown himself to be not in control.
You may define Owen's eventual confirmation as "absolute defeat", I do not.
There are problems but none are "absolute".
I will no longer contribute to any Republican cause or work for the party. I stood against Specter and they defied me. I am now standing against Santorum. NO MONEY! Perhaps that is the only language these morons understand! Let's seal our borders, stop killing babies in the womb, and let's get homosexual propaganda out of our schools! Disgusted in PA!
You have your finger on the trouble: All the 'Craps have to do is hang tough as opposing everything Bush and/or the Republicans want, and be confident they will be able to peel the one or two RINO flakes needed to frustrate us.
