It's just reality.
And the reality is this. Republicans are going to be the Minority. I hope they are prepared for the bloodbath in '06. No action, no vote, no Majority, no re-election.

I think The Hill might be off base here.
Let's see how next week develops.

Just bring back the real filibuster.

Rick Santorum is morphing into Bob Dole, without the combat decorations. I'm sick of his wishy washy carcass!

I am shocked that the polling came out this way. Afterall, the Dems have been hitting this issue hard, constantly putting their spin on it. In vigorous response the Republicans have been. . .(insert crickets here). Seriously, the Republicans have to hit this issue harder than just assuming everyone will see it there way. I think they are starting to do this now, i.e. sending Thune and others out to spread the word. But, once again I have to ask, where is the President on this one?

"Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), a leading advocate of the “nuclear option” to end the Democrats’ filibuster of judicial nominees, is privately arguing for a delay in the face of adverse internal party polls."Another GOP pro-life cut and run like Schiavo law.

“If anything is bad, it is that the American public has bought the misinformation campaign that we’re trying to take away the filibuster,” It seems to me that the Dems often win the PR battle because they have the strong support of the MSM. The strength of the Republicans is that they are willing to do the right thing whether it is popular or not.
My concern is that there seems to be some waffling by Republican senators and I am starting to wonder if a split is forming in the party.

Rick, Not one damn dime. None of the RNC can expect more than 9 cents from me this election cycle until they learn to act like a majority.

“There’s important business our guys have to get out of the way,” the aide said, adding, “Our guys want to give every chance for some negotiated compromise to be explored” to avoid gridlock. As far as I can recall, 54 to 46 or even 50 to 50 with a tiebreaker is not gridlock especially when the president is on the side of the greater number. Change the freaking rules.

I'm getting 2-3 fund raising letters from the RNC every week. I'm sending them all back in their business reply envelopes with the message, "get back to me when you get some judges confirmed."
I'm disapponited with Santorum.

Advice for Santorum: Do the right thing. Get our judges confirmed. And if you don't, then PROMISE to filibuster ALL liberal nominees in the future. ALL OF THEM!!!!! May they NEVER get another one of their activist judges confirmed. EVER!

I was polled last week by the RNC on Bushs overall job performance. Approve-Disapprove-Undecided. I told them undecided. He's really pissing me off over the border issue. I could not say I approve.

If the Republicans in the Senate don't get something done on Judicial Nominees and immigration they run the risk of low turnout from the base.
The real problem in both the house and senate is the turnover. These folks hardly ever get voted out so they have no reason to respond to the will of the voters. They are more interested in pleasing the Washington press and power brokers.
