The democraps strike again.

Sigh. It's not a question of "guts," but one of precedent and conducting the work of the senate with civility and fairness that kept raw, bitter partisanship unders some degree of control. There is a reason for old-fashioned "gentlemen's agreements." Republicans and, quite frankly, most Democrats prior to the Bork nomination worked within time-honored Senate precedent. The Democrats of today do not. To them, power is all. Republicans of today are like a disciplined boxer observing Marquis of Queensbury rules while fighting for their lives against the most vicious of street thugs. It isn't a lack of courage, but a lack of understanding of the enemy that is the problem for Republicans.

Strom is quite the old warhorse, isn't he. He offers us a superb object lesson in not going quietly into that good night. God bless him, indeed.

The Republicans must confront these lies at every opportunity; in the committees, on the floor of the Senate, and in the press. War is war.

Democrats were attempting to "violate, ignore, and/or abuse this rule for the expediency of the desired outcome." Same old, same old. Democrat policritters don't believe in rules or laws, except as applied to thee and me, but not to them.

The Repulsiv-cans that hold themselves out as leaders in the Senate don't have a set of balls among them. Lott is a smooth-haired twit and Hatch is equally worthless. Pretty much a bunch of damned weaklings, if you asked me.

Tell me again why Trent Lott agreed to "share power" with these petty criminals? Good question. Just imagining Trent Lott's insipid, smiling turncoat face makes me want to smash it. GRRRR.
When's he going to get it that Democrats simply cannot be trusted!

It isn't a lack of courage, but a lack of understanding of the enemy that is the problem for Republicans. Maybe it's time they started arming themselves with grenades.

But I keep being told that there is no difference between the parties; both are socialist. It is all so confusing.

I agree. The Pubbies are going to have to get a severe case of rectal/cranial inversion so that they can see things from the leftist point of view.

You mean the democratic controlled Senate, led by the Democrat Daschle who lies every-time he opens his mouth, the same Democrat senator who lied about a quote never made by our President and who supports the Democrats running an ad showing our president throwing a senior citizen off a cliff?
Is this the Senate you say will slap Leahy?

LINCOLN CHAFFEE WILL JUMP SHIP IF THE SENATE RETURNS TO A 50/50 SHOWDOWN. WE HAVE TO WIN MORE THAN A FEW SENATE SEATS OVER TO AVOID THIS.
