As far as I am concerned McCain just lost whatever little support he may have had for a Presidential run. There is no way I would vote for anyone who can not support their party on such an important grassroots issue.

This deal will come back to bite the GOP. When I heard Frist saying everyone would get a vote, I got excited. I felt that the GOp had secured its spot as the majority party for years to come. Now I wonder. And you know what? I don't care. If this is what the GOP is about, I don't want them running the country.

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of failed promises. All those giddy looking Senators last night at the press conference made me want to puke. Even Graham, I am done with him too.

Keep in mind those giddy Senators represented mostly the moderates of the party. Frist and the GOP leadership did not put this deal in place. It's essentially the same one he rejected last week.

I honestly don't have a problem with the deal, per se, because at least now three judges will get through that have been held up, with the GOP giving up nothing. But I am concerned because so many conservatives here and throughout the nation are fed up (whether fairly or not can be debated), and I do think these seven senators have hurt the GOP strategically because this deal did not punish the Dems in any way for their abhorrent behavior over the past two plus years.
