Comments II
Captain Ed over at Captain's Quarters has a post railing against the unwillingness of Republicans to stop the Democrat Filibuster:
Not. One. Dime. The next time Ken Mehlman sends you a request for money, that's the message he needs to get back. We ponied up in 2004, and in 2002, and in 2000. The GOP not only has not delivered, its current leadership won't even try.
In response, poster Carol Herman submits this refreshing POV:
I don't think there's any need to panic.The MSM is just trying to get all the conservatives to get knots in their underwear. Frist is going to do what it takes to clean out the problem. You just can't rush this surgery at all. Though you can sure spook conservatives!
I'd like to see what happens when this thing finally gets dragged to a vote. Because there are democrats who are not about to commit suicide. You can kind of count them, now. Hillary and Schumer. Lieberman. Feinstein. (Not Boxer!) But Feinstein's race for re-election is ahead. (So's Schwartzenegger's.) '06.
Not that the democrats wouldn't mind seeing GOP blood spilled. Frist's and DeLay's. That would be a double-whopper. And, it would give the MSM the power of maginalizing bloggers. The right wingers would limp along on a broken wing. For no reason at all. Why's that?
The fears are spooking some within the GOP tent. (Not all.) You couldn't be someone who voted for McCain, for instance, and be a true, blue blooded American Conservative. Millions aren't. And, this is just something that should have most of you just rolling your eyeballs in your head. Why are you making Howie Kurtz' day? Or those goofs at C-BS? They've done anything for you, lately?
What happened with patience? Even if there's a traffic jam coming up. What are you going to do? Drive your cars over the cliff's edge? Up ahead the democrats, now with only 45 senators to call their own; are trying to get the republicans to commit suicide.
Geez.
You want something, by the way, that's not all that easy to accomplish. McCain's jumped. And, this is supposed to upset the applecart? Ya know, the best revolutionary instruction ever! Was given right at the beginning. Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes. Good advice. Sit on your powder. The game is only first setting up. And, the odds are good that MOST of the AMerican People are ANGRY AT THE EXTREMISTS. Ya know what? I hope the GOP can get along very nicely without their own extremists. And, I don't think Hillary's gonna twirl herself in the chair in the Oval Office. Her best bet is to be the veep to a McCain nod by the democrats; who have no other viable choices.
And, everybody's in a panic over what? That you won't get everything you want by Sunday? Listen to me. My mom used to say "It's a wise child that cries for the moon, for they learn their disappointments early in life." You'll have them if you think America is ready for more medicine to be thrown down the average American's throat. Ain't gonna happen. Saner heads will prevail. And, in politics its the long view that usually wins. There's no football to toss. And, spitting at your own team isn't the best way to handle what's ahead. Dr. Frist is there because within the Republican party there's a LONG VIEW to consider. There's time before you start screaming "spineless."
Even more to the point, the MSM wants the upset NOW. And, Frist is willing to wait. Most Americans, I am willing to bet, won't blame the republicans if the democrats close Congress down! We're not in Vietnam, anymore. The democrats can blink first, ya know?
