I don't call that being a poor sport--- I call it having the cajones to follow through on rules that he set down. I doubt very seriously that the dems thought--na,na,boo,boo, we made you leave!!!

You are absolutely correct. The days of the Republcans as patsies is over. It's now hardball.

I agree. All it takes is this, and the growing awareness that the dems got little or nothing out of the McCain deal, and the Republicans can see--if they're smart--that they can behave like a majority and the sky won't fall.
