"What action they take will determine whether they believe in "enabling" or tough love."

What do you mean by that? It's up to us to teach the Pubbies a lesson?

If not us, who?

What else is available? They've had Reagan, the Buckleys, and to a lesser degree Goldwater if they need educating. They asked us to trust them in '94. They stayed on the farm until they thought they didn't have to (contract actually was largely successful and now ignored).

Today's GOP is way, way off the "conservative homestead:" not adequately insisting on/fighting for conservative judges; spending money hand over fist (both in the area of pork and government); growing government faster than the dems dreamed they could; and now, unwilling to stand together and defend the terminal deal, border security, or much of anything else..."let them hang separately" is sounding better and better.

This prez and Congress, together, have squandered an opportunity it could be said took 25 years to bring about. The odds are, after this debacle, it will be another 25 years before it happens again. Shame on them and/or shame on me, because I voted for them, letting them do it to me(us).
