When the GOP loses more seats this is going to be exactly who. Conservatives have no use for wimps.

It is the Bush “New Tone” and the spineless see we are really nice crowd.

These spineless jellyfish Republicans should not be surprised come 2008 when we throw more of them out of the Senate and House for this very reason.

COWARDS the whole lot of them.

I’m so gratified that the Democrats are “draining the swamp” in Washington, DC.

I knew they were lying during the campaign, but I didn’t think that they would really be this stupid and crass.

Oh well. Time for the next mind bending fishing expedition in committee.

"But what troubles me isn't so much that Waxman is doing it, it's that so many of our members aren't trying to fight it. They are just lying down and letting the Democrats roll over them. It's depressing."

GOP has been doing that for years, glad someone in DC seems to have finally noticed.

[popdonnelly]

As if the Democrats have never done something “for partisan purposes”. These nannies of the Left should be fought.

[Rummyfan]

Waxman sent a letter to the Republican National Committee demanding copies of all the e-mails sent by Bush Administration officials "for partisan political purposes."

Who the hell does Waxman think he is (other than the Phantom of the Opera!)? The RNC should tell him to go to hell, in exactly those words!

[rollo tomasi]

Republicans needed to sit on their hands or else they will rile up the dems. base when the next election comes around.

At least thats their winning strategy, plus a new tone in DC and all that “feel good stuff” while truth and justice wither away.

[kittymyrib]

The spineless wimps in the GOP ought to tell Henry “Nostrilus” Waxman that they will turn over the emails when Sandy Burglar turns over all the documents he stole from the National Archives to protect the Clintons. Sheesh...it’s this lack of street smarts that doomed Republicans to failure when they were in the majority.

[tobyhill]

The Republican’s still believe that the Democrat’s really just want to be friends and they can play nice together.

[SoFloFreeper]

No need to bluster about it; just don't send it to them. Or send them a page or two full of redacted material...

Make it look something like this:

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE INTERNAL MEMO
Dear *******,
****************************************************
**************************************************
******************************************************

Sincerely,
*************************

Give them 400,000 copies of memos and letters similar to this one.

In the middle of the stack, put one memo authorizing the changing of the vending machines from Coke to Pepsi.

[supremedoctrine]

THis is no suprise at all, to most of us. Republicans seem ashamed to hold power, as if they half-believe the LEfty contention that they stole the election in 2000. They also still seem to believe that their new “uniter-not-divider” ethos is STILL going to help them, or will carry some practical political weight in DC or with the electorate.
(I guess the operative idea here is “give it time to work!!!”).Thinking about it, wasn’t that “uniter-not-divider” ploy just a pretty rhetorical cloak for the same character flaw and cowardice that we are seeing now, virtually every day?
