There is NO way the Reps will go nuclear. They are a bunch of girlie men. We need a Warrior class of leaders who cherish Liberty and Freedom as ideals worth dying for. The current Reps are absolutely spineless. I don't know how Bush will get anything he wants with such weak men.
Most of them are just fine. But we have 55 votes in the Senate. We can't afford to lose more than five on a rules change vote. I would love to hear your secret formula for holding Chaffee, Snowe, Collins, and Specter in line.
The good news is, maybe we can win without them. I have a hunch Frist will go nuclear if he has the votes to win.
