Big Day in US Senate

Well, tomorrow is the day the Republicans are supposed to bring the hammer down on the judicial filibuster in the US Senate.

I don’t think they’ll do it! I am of the opinion those guys in GOP suits in the Senate are just too scared of the MSM and the Democrats…which is the same thing, of course!

Rumors have been rampant, over the weekend, that there were meetings, after meetings, between the Democrats and the Republican to try to reach an agreement. That is simply another way for Democrats to say: “Be reasonable…do it my way!”

I have watched as the Republicans gingerly tip-toed around this issue…and it makes me sick! For heaven’s sake Republicans, bring the hammer down! Now is the time to govern! If you have it in you at all… now’s the time.

How is it possible the Republicans have developed such weak knees? How is it possible they have grown more afraid of he MSM than they are of their own constituents back home?

Maybe it’s time to flood their offices with phone calls and e-malls in an attempt to bolster their dwindling courage a bit.

Oh, by the way, Senator McCain will never get the Republican nomination for President. Never. You moderates can stop worrying about that. He blew it last time around and his kow-towing to the Democrats, in the Senate, over this filibuster disaster, simply locks the door. He is as close to the Presidency today as he will ever get.

The same thing holds for Senator Frist. If he cannot get his troops together to ram this “Constitutional Option” thru, he sure as heck doesn’t have what it takes to be President, so his name comes off the short list…and the long one too. It will be over for his ambition to move any higher in National politics.

My wing of the Republican Party is not interested in a compromise, of any kind. No deals. We want the filibuster of Judicial Nominees stopped, ended, and the Presidents nominees confirmed and on the bench. Then we can move on to take care of the Supreme Court. That, after all, IS the Target here!

Your Obedient Servant,
