I can tell you, many of them were already swallowing a lot of anxiety about the disappearance of the Protect Marriage Amendment seconds after Bush's reelection.

You run with a very idealistic lot. First, any Marriage Amendment has to come out of the House. Second, long before the election, the House leadership had given a clear indication that a Marriage amendment would never get the requisite two-thirds to pass.

With all due respect, to take out your anger over Bush's action on your House or Senate rep is simply juvenile. I just don't get this mindset. I didn't like Bush raising taxes in 1991, but I would never vote against my Republican House member because of that.

It seems that mature thing to do is compartmentalize, not shoot the innocent.

But compartmentalizing includes "punishing" Senators who support the nominee, which doesn't help either.

If they are idealistic, it's because they trusted Bush when he ran on the Marriage Amendment. You'll forgive them (and me) if the trust issue is now, well, not working in Bush's favor.

That being said, I am still hoping for the best.
