You are correct. You did not call Senator Frist a RINO. Nor did you contend that he had to be dragged kicking and screaming into supporting the constitutional option. You said, and let me quote, ". . . When you have to be dragged kicking and screaming to the right thing . . ."
What is your basis for the statement that Senator Frist had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do the right thing? I have been following the hearings since the democrats first started the filibuster, and it seems to me that Senator Frist has been in the forefront of those trying to round up enough RINO votes to invoke the constitutional option. What evidence do you have that he has been reluctant to do the right thing?
Why not make the democrats actually filibuster? Why is it in the last congress that they would call up these several cloture votes to end debate on something that was not even being debated. Only in the fake counter filibuster was there any kind of debate. And during all of that, as now, a quorum is not present in the chamber to force the other senators to sit and listen. Why not call for a vote on this option sooner and even if it failed, to call a point of order over an over to draw attention to this. We had Zell Miller and John Breaux in the last congress who would have voted for it. How about denying Specter his chairmanship so these nominations would move to the floor faster. How about putting the democrats on the spot for a change. He's done nothing.
Now we're supposed to cheer him because he does something.
Thanks for saving me the effort of having to respond with that exact post.
