There's one problem with that, the horrible clause in the deal that says President Bush should consult with senators from both parties before he nominates any new judicial candidates. If he nominates somebody like Janice Rodgers Brown without going through with this unconstititional approval process, then the DemonRats can call this a violation of the MOU even though Bush didn't agree to the MOU and say it authorizes them to fillibuster. The MOU is just like AIDS for the Republican Party, a gift that keeps on giving.

Stripper,

The 7 Rino's invoked GWB into a contract without his consent the way I see it, just a student of business law here, and correct me if I am wrong, this is an illegal contract.

Screw-um, throw the 7 overboard, give them the $ to join the DNC and let us start over. They are useless as tits on a bull and I am sitting on my hands in 06' because of them and I have emailed the GOP Chairman and let him know so, we won my ass....

The MOU is not binding on anyone who didn't take part in the drafting and then signed it. W, Frist and the rest of the R Senators are not bound by this agreement.

I have been leaning towards the thought that this was the best way to highlight the real RINOs and then let the electorate take them down. Let these 7 prove how bipartisan they are when they have a bill they author along w/a donk and the time comes to get their colleagues to sign on to it.

We have won the Presidency twice w/o the blue states that have elected these moderate Rs. We picked up House seats w/o this constituency. Even though the so-called moderates have some power because it is by virtue of their election that we took the Senate, we picked up other R Senators from blue states like MN. They do not have the power they think they do and we have a chance in 06 to prove it by making sure we take a few more states away from the donks.

This debacle wasn't a win, but it isn't a total loss, either.
