I know a lot of republicans and not one single one is a "coward". Why doesn't Tony just shut up?

Well you obviously don't know any Congressmen or Representatives.
You're kidding.

Well, there are a bunch of Republican Congressmen and Senators who aren't standing up for conservatism. If you don't consider it cowardice, please pick your word of choice.
sarcasm?
My congresscritter is the worst kind of republican. Check out Patrick Mchenry. Hopefully a onetermer before he can get to dug in.
A lot? Please. I know maybe about 5 Republicans in Congress who really care about conservatism. I'm talking about REAL Republican conservatism and not the assembly-line crap produced by the GOP.
My Congressman stinks too. Typical country club Republican who's running for Governor here in WI next year.
I know alot of republicans and not a single one has body odor. Why doesn't proctor and gamble just go out of business?
There aren't Republicans or Democrats anymore. There are just people who have decided to make politics a career. Therefore they must appease as many people as possible. And that means giving them money that they didn't earn.
The only difference you can make between the two parties is that at least the Reps will give us a tax break. That causes economic growth and more revenue for the government. And hopefully, that will hold off the impending economic disaster that surely must come from an $8.1 Trillion debt.
I hope I'm dead before I see the end result. Clearly no one in Washington has any intention of fiscal conservatism anymore. When George Bush goes on TV and pledges $200 billion to New Orleans and then tells everyone that the reason those people are poor is because of racism, conservatism in Washington is clearly dead.
Republicans today are mirroring the Whig Party of yesteryear; Democrats the Federalists (with a lot of kooky left-wing liberalism tossed in)...both parties wound up in the dust bin of history. I hope it happens again--Libertarianism forever!
The RATs (D) in Congress are the "cowards", the Republicans (R) in Congress are the ones that more resemble the spineless jelly fish!
... and no, Tony Snow is RIGHT ON THE MARK! This needs to be said until all the RINOs (and 'closet' RINOS) get with the conservative program, or VOTED OUT! PERIOD!
Good article from Tony Snow - as always.

Do you know a lot of Republican congresscritters? Mine promised all kinds of wonderful things and sold out as soon as she got to Washington.

To some degree, it's not even a matter of Republican moderates versus conservatives (I'm leaving the RINOs aside). It all boils down to that basic unwillingness to fight, on the part of almost everyone but a few exceptions like Henry Hyde and Tom DeLay. There may be a few politicians who are to the right of this pair, but they lack their willingness to stand up and fight in the crunch.
The Democrats know there is a war on, and never stop fighting. The Republicans, for the most part, never stop ducking, hiding, and feebly excusing themselves. Who would guess that they won the last three elections?
Well said.
