Rush, What is it with Republicans that they are afraid to exercise the power they are given? Democrats never seem to have a problem flexing their muscles. In fact, they always over-reach.

Republicans cower from power. They would rather snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Just see Boehner's "no gloating" letter.

There are four top leadership roles in the federal government: the President, the Senate Majority Leader, the Speaker of the House, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Why was Roberts afraid to use the power he was given? Why is Boehner afraid to use the power he was given? Why will McConnell be afraid to use the power he'll be given if we take back the Senate?

Why do they do this?

I think I have the answer why the GOP are scared to excerse their power: INDEPENDENTS.

But the thing of it is that the indys are more conservative then giving them credit for.
