Yes....The right believes they can consolidate power over this issue. The party is pandering openly and not thinking at all about the consequences.
I for one, believe it my duty to remind them of the cost of doing so.
And I will. The dance is over.
Time to separate the men from the boys. If the Republican party is to win in 2006-08, it will need to be united. I see no such thing occurring. The "My way or the Highway" gang will push moderates out. They will lose the support and the rats will get the seats.
That being a given, I think it is time to rearrange the furniture.
George Will agrees with us.
