WHY, OH, WHY, REPUBLICANS?

All the national talk shows touched on the current mystery as to why Senate Republicans who are in the majority insist on making themselves a minority, even though their constituants sent them to Washington to be a majority.
Why are the Senate Republicans nsistant upon shooting themselves in the political foot at this crucial time for presidential appointments?
For starters, Leader Bill Frist needs to take off the bipartisan party dress and snap the whip. If he cannot do that, it’s time for him to turn over the majority leader role to another.
Secondly, George W. Bush needs to drop the compassionate conservative mantra and the naive belief that bipartisanship with left wing Democrats has any meaning. It’s time for the President, as leader of his party, as well as the nation, to forcefully put his foot down and deliver a few salvoes across Harry Reid’s bow, as is so desperately hoped for by his conservative voter base.
The stakes are too high here to continue this nicey-nicey tone. Left wing senators neither care nor want to be nice under present circumstances. They have shown that by a renewed return to filibustering over the John Bolton nomination.
There is no hope to deliver the Federal Courts from the hands of left wing lunatics using the present tactics employed both at the White House and on the floor of the Senate.
It’s time for Republicans to act responsible as the majority they won in November 2004. We are getting very tired of kissing up ro Byrd, Kennedy, Schumer, and a handful of spineless Republicans.
It is time to play for real.
