while a majority of Americans oppose the filibuster, the figures show that most also accept the Democratic message that Republicans are trying to destroy the tradition of debate in the Senate

What the heck does "accept the Democratic message that Republicans are trying to destroy the tradition of debate" mean? They took a poll on this?!?!? What a bunch of chocolate-covered manure.

The Dems got out their twisted message on the nuclear option early, often and vehemently.

The Pubs, never the masters of communications, still haven't gotten their message out on this.

No wonder the polls say what they say.

I'm sick and tired of the abdication of the art of political offense by Republican party leaders......from the top on down.

What the heck did we work our tushies off for......when those we elected are too good, too lazy or too cowardly to do what we did.

Chairman@gop.com Let them know how we feel about their spineless cowardice. I will not be voting GOP again. I will be staying home.

You guys keep doing the same thing over and over again and somehow expect a different result.

If you want to get something different, you are going to have to DO something different.

There was a thread yesterday about Santorum being in re-election trouble next year. After this, who cares? I hope the RINO loses to Democrat. Better the devil you know than one you don't.

Its funny how a poll is a deterrent to decisiveness. I am sorry but between the judges, SS reform and John Bolton but the Republicans can blame only themselves. As for Santorum, he has definitely seemed wishy washy lately

I wonder what "debate" they are referring to.

Santorum, up for reelection, threw his principles out the window and, in doing so, became just another self serving politician.

Sad. I really did like him.

Santorum is old news. He is as inastute as a Dimocrat.

At this point unless it's Delay or Tancredo that's running for President, the GOP can kiss my rebel arse for a vote in 08.

They already don't get my money anymore. Got tired of seeing my cash go to support them only to get more dimocrap style legislation from the very people I was putting into office.

Grow a Spine for heaven's sake people.

Ted Olson wrote in the WSJ that a toning down of the political rhetoric about the judiciary is necessary to restore and preserve the rule of law. He also stated that the politicization and policy of personal destruction of judicial nominations is contributing to the break down of respect for the rule of law and is an abuse of the Senatorial advise and consent duty. My guess is that Santorum is backing off the rhetoric, not the end of the filibustering of nominations.

But GOP polling shows that Americans have swallowed the Democrats' and liberal groups' message on the constitutional option, the sources say.

"If anything is bad, it is that the American public has bought the misinformation campaign that we're trying to take away the filibuster," the aide said. "The campaign has caused misinformation, and that's where we have a messaging challenge."

I wonder if the GOP can compose any effective message. No question, the media is an active foil against getting an honest message out, but geez, Louise, what the Senate DEMs and weak-sister GOPers are doing is contrary to some simple Constitutional principles.

Rove could help too. It's a White House power that is being diluted by an activist Senate.

I just called the Senator's DC Office and asked if it was truen that the Senator is backing off the constitutional option of stopping democrat fillibusters.. The lady answering the phone said "I can't speak for the Senator". Hello! That is your job! Considering she can't speak for the Senator I take that it is true.

Say goodbye to your Senate seat, Rick. If you're going to act like a loser and not lead, you don't deserve to remain in office nor do the Republicans deserve to remain in the majority in the Senate.
