Second, as for the LEGISLATIVE agenda, funny how usually those guys with R's behind their names tend to vote for "R" things. I noticed not one single "D" (Democrat) crossed the line to vote for conviction of Clinton, and only two did so on CFR. Note however, that those same two guys---Miller and Breaux---despite the "D" after their names, have not voted WITH the Republicans to organize the Senate with a GOP majority, which they could do. In other words, party loyalty counts for a great deal in organizing the Senate, which goes straight to your argument.
But if you find me a pro-gun, pro-life, low-tax Democrat who will vote to confirm Bush's judges, I'll vote for him.
