#1 We are talking about the direction that the republic and its people will take in the next 20 to 40 years. Will we become a secular, morally relativistic society, like Europe, or will we go back to our roots of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution? The people elected a majority of Republicans because they expect something more than the dems offered last election. The Republicans need to follow through on this fundamental issue, or get their asses kicked from here to Sunday. Good work Sen. Frist, get the other Republicans aboard on this. Kick their asses if you must.

#2 "Kudos to Frist for telling them to pound sand over this."

Yes, this is good news-- if he really means what he says. When he tells the Dems to pound sand on John Bolton, the judges, AND everything else, I'll be a lot happier.

There's no point in trying to get along with the Democrats: they've declared Republicans are "evil" and are the "real enemy", and they mean it. Act accordingly, and that means NO DEALS.

#3 Frist's political career is toast if he caves.

#5 So when are they going to hold the ****ing vote on the Filibuster reform?

#6 Rush was all over this today, and along with W asking Delay to accompany him on tour for SSA reforms (and to fly around on AF-1, returning to Wash DC), along with W's renewed vigor for Bolton hints the Dragon's awake, Dems

#7 It's time for Frist to LEAD. The Repubs have to stand up, or they simply do not deserve to hold the majority. And if they cave, they won't after 2006. The Democraps cannot be reasoned with - they must be defeated.

#8 Ed's point is taken. Dragging this out has damaged the Reps. Schedule the votes now and often

#9 Every time the dems cannot win on a vote, or a Republican nominee is presented and looks like they will be accepted, the dems cry foul and whine. After all, that is all they have is whining and MSM bootlickers. The Republicans have been given a mandate. The country is theirs to lose. Then what do we have? Two party loser system. We have too many enemies and issues to deal with to mud wrestle in the sewage lagoon.

#10 Let's hope he doesn't cave next week.

I just got a call from the GOP Senatorial comittee wanting $$. I told them not one dime until I see some judges confirmed and this "compromise" about no private accounts, but raising ~~taxes~~ the cap are is the table, dies a deserved death.
