by the time this is over, the majority of these seven, will jump to independent, where they ALWAYS were...

we then have a plurality in the leadership but NOT the majority, and THEY have the dreaded swing vote... in other words CONTROL. They broker the power and the deals. Just like jeffords did.

They should be shown the door if they don't walk the line NOW.
But they won't be.

Cut their political nuts off, ONE at a time, starting with the MOST vulnerable.

Which one is it? Snowe? DeWine?
There is more than one way to skin a jackass in elephant's clothing.

W could do it, but wont.
Welcome to coalition government and the multiparty system.

That's worse than simply being a RINO! I'm not sure what his new label ought to be.

How about "RINO Dashole"? Think that sums it up.

“I don't know about anyone else, but I sure as hell wouldn't want someone like Zell Miller -- let alone 50 of them -- serving as "leaders" in my political party.”

I am surprised and disappointed in your comment about my hero Zell. Quite possibly you haven’t read anything about this great patriot of ours. You urgently need many Zell Miller types in Canada as we do in the United States. I love this man. He is fearless.

Sorry, Alberta, I think you touched a raw nerve.

My best regards to you.

Oh gads!!! Yeck!!! I didn't realize this was a La La article from NewsMax or I wouldn't have opened it. But my comment to Alberta is still valid.

Sorry, Demkicker. I knew what I was going to say was not going to be popular. I know nothing about his skills, as most of us here do not. He has never treated me. But he seems to be popular for his surgical skills at another zoo, the zoo in Washington DC. At least his patients can't turn around and sue him much less complain.

Anyone who goes from doctor to politician is a suspect for lack of skills. He must have a good press office.

Frist really only needs two votes (Cheney would provide the 51-50 margin), and he might look for them on the Dem side. I don't know if they are really totally united, but I find it hard to believe that Reid is all-inspiring.
He sure isn't going to get votes from the McCainiacs, who will do anything to thwart Bush.

If anything good comes out of this latest episode and the amnesty bill for illegal aliens it's that McCain has most likely lost all hope of ever getting into the WH.

Too bad the GOP and the Justice Department lack the spine to go after Planned Parenthood, NOW, NARAL and their ilk declared as corrupt organizations under RICO.

May I add the ACLU to your list?

Zell Miller was quite the opportunist in 2004. If he were truly a conservative, he would have endorsed George W. Bush in 2000. I may be wrong, but as I said before -- I tend to question the motives of someone who decides to go public with his new-found principles when he's retiring and peddling a book.

"Today Graham and Warner both sounded like they would go along with the nuclear option if/when the Dems decide to filibuster again."

Lindsey Graham said on a radio interview in Upstate SC at 5 PM that he and DeWine would go with the nuclear option if the Democrats filibustered a judicial nominee. If Warner goes along too, Frist will have one more than he needs to invoke the nuclear option. I bet Graham regrets aligning himself with John McCain. Too bad Arizona doesn't recall him! He's a royal pain and does not belong in the Republican Party. He does more harm than good!

That sort of facial distortion is consistent with a melanoma metastasizing into the salivary glands. My Doctor mentioned awhile back that McCain probably won't be a factor five years hence.
