The Republicans in the House don't have the luxury of six-year terms. They know that with 70% of the voters opposed to the UAE deal they will be sitting ducks in the fall elections if they go along with the President's ill-fated venture. If the Democrats manage to take the House over this, the President's term is effectively over. Just as in the Miers mess, the conservative Republicans better dig in and hold the line or they and the President will be toast.

So you finally admit that this is not about doing the right thing. It's all about politics.

But you see, they don't care. They don't know how to be winners, they've been in the minority for so long that they don't know how to handle power, that's why they are tossing it away. These idiots haven't stood by this president, and they're going to taste the bitter fruit of those actions when once again they are in the minority and this country is destroyed by terrorists. Then they'll weep and moan about why didn't anyone DO anything.

If the Democrats take the House, it will be because these jerks hand it to them.

But at least you're not tryin to pass off their "problems" as principle, as we all know it's PANDERING.

I am a conservative Republican.

I will not dig in and hold the line on an issue on which I don't agree.
