I agree.
I have been dreading a SC appointment for some time. Given the appalling lack of confidence and leadership our party has shown recently in Congress I think my fears are well founded.

We need a return of ' Cowboy Bush '. He needs to marshal the troops, make it known they need to get in line for this fight or there will be consequences.

Voinovich and Chaffey want to rebel? Fine. These clowns want to act like Democrats - treat them like Democrats. Scare the wits out of them. Let it be known W wont appear for any fund raising or support. Let it be known the party will find someone else to run and take their seat. Let it be known every damned concern of theirs will be ignored in Congress.

I'm tired of the ' hat in hand ' approach our reps in Congress have taken with the Democrats. These fools sling dung at us and America and we just stand there and grin
' Gee Whiz - thats okay - can't we all get along? '
Kill the damned filibuster - actually fight the Democrats in Congress and get us a conservative on the SC. W can get this done if he really wants to. Or he can make concessions, be ' compassionate W ' and sell us out with a so called Moderate.

Suppose it happens - W makes nice with these rodents and appoints a moderate. The backlash would be enormous. Confidence within our party has been rapidly eroding for some time and would plummet after such a Chamberlainesque sellout. The Democratic party would be ecstatic and highly motivated - we'd be demoralized and it would show in the 2006 election results. We could lose seats in Congress. We could see a third party emerge from the ranks of Republicans and Independents which would be an outright disaster in the 2008 election. Just roll out the Red Carpet for Hillary in that case. Do you suppose Hillary will make nice with any SC appointments? You think she'll want to join hands and sing a chorus of ' I love you, you love me - we're a happy family '. Forget it. So get it done W - please, just get it done.
