Agreed! The filibuster has some use - if 40% disagree strongly enough to dig their heels in, maybe they should be given a chance to be heard. But no one's making a case - just blocking. And the Republicans seem intent to wither and cave on everything. If they do, will they really deserve to stay in power?
They need to stick to principles! That's why people voted for them! No one respects a wimp.
It's been less than six months since the November election, and Republicans are caving. I thought Pres. Bush was willing to spend his capital, but I guess that's just strategery talking.
Laura Ingraham did a great job of expressing our frustration with Sen. Cornyn this morning. I hope my senator takes that message to heart.
If Frist, Hassert, Bush, et.al. don't get their butts in gear, 2006 will make Little Big Horn look like a picnic.
And to think they had a chance to set the tone by taking Scottish Law Specter to the woodshed. To me, their failure to lead was an indicator that our leaders were only paying lip service to us.
If they think they can keep up this BS, and expect us to go to the mat for them every election, they are seriously deluded.
