He has a bright future in writing alternative/fantasy fiction when that Frum Forum thing shuts down.

[JohnBrownUSA]

I’m going to punish every RINO GOP politician by not voting for them if they surrender to Obama.

[Richard from IL]

I wish that he was correct on this one.

> David Frum: GOP wants Obama’s unconditional surrender

I don’t see anything wrong with that.

What am I missing?

Of course, it’s not likely, but I still don’t see anything wrong with it.

[oldbrowser]

What is he talking about the Dems controlled both houses and the presidency.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Well, the GOP needs to set its sights higher then. Personally, I’d like Obama’s unconditional resignation.

[EyeGuy]

Frum has progressed to the pupae stage in metamorphisizing from a RINO closet moth to a full blown Leftist earwig.

So predictable. Ahem.....

[svcw]

To the headline: nope I want him to crawl back under the rock he came from never to be heard from again.

[fish hawk]

Hell with surrender. That insinuates that he has something to do with it. I want an “overthrow”. Take it away from him without any input from him.

[KoRn]

What planet is this moron writer from?

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

We just wish they did. Unfortunately, they really don't.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Sorry, David, but I think Goldfinger’s sentiment is more appropo.

[big bad easter bunny]

sure...cool...ya.....uh huh......please....otay.....

[greeneyes]

They pursued an all or nothing strategy and got nothing. Seems to me they got back a majority in the house, and within striking distance in the Senate.

I don’t call that nothing.

[Rashputin]

I like how Frum quotes the Republican account of what's going on and then says, “well, perhaps” each time. Frum is the worst kind of RINO, the kind that is only Republican because it was so much easier to make a name for yourself by being a “reasonable” Conservative that being just another fascist in the democrat herd.

[Irish Rose]

They pursued an all or nothing strategy and got -- nothing. They neither shaped the bill, nor did they stop it.

Could they possibly have stopped the bill without an all or nothing strategy? "No bill" was the nothing part.

And shape it? The presidency and Congress were controlled by Democrats. Their health care law was bound to be bad. It would have been like shaping a car wreck.

[blasater1960]

Hey Frum...I’ll hold the football and you kick it!

[eclecticEel]

Yes Frum. The GOP had followed your advice they would have never regained the majority in the House last year, and wouldn’t even have to bother with the concept that they were at all relevant to anything this administration wanted to do.

[Maelstorm]

They pursued an “all or nothing strategy and got nothing”? Frum proves himself an idot with that phrase alone. Sure the bill passed but it motivated a huge power shift from Republican to Democrat in 2010. Also conservative and GOP self id shot to the highest levels in recent history and polling shows the continued dominance. I don’t call that nothing.

Frum just doesn’t get it. We aren’t looking to make an ugly aweful bit of socialism more tolerable with a few conservative lite trimmings so that it will be even harder to ever get rid of. I don’t want our leaders hugging Democrats and smiling about how wonderful a piece of new wasteful govt is. David Frum and many others seem just happy to compromise themselves into political extinction or dilution is probably the better word.

[Recovering_Democrat]

We do want it, and we will get it...in about 16 months.

[ScottinVA]

Dave, we can only wish what you say were true. Have a look at the woefully weak performance of much of the Senate GOP. If you hate the idea of forcing Obama to eat a sh*t sandwich, you`ll be heartened.
