Can you hear the tear in the GOP?

[Homer12]

You can use your opponents greatest strength's against them.

What I mean is that with this supposed compromise with the Republicans, that it is tearing the Moderates and Extremist Righties apart, since they moderates didn't march lock-step with Frist.

The Right-wings greatest strength was their group-think/conformist way's of thinking, moderates/extremists alike are very susceptible to this since they respect strength and Power (this is what the Bush administration had given them), up until this point and up until the extremists have gone to far.

Bush and the Congressional right-wing extremists have started acting as Cesar, drunk with power; the minority moderate Republicans are acting as Brutus, and I think many have them have woken up to save their necks in 2006(I don't think they care to much about the constitution otherwise they might have cared earlier.)

The right-wings greatest strength has been their solidarity (real or forced) of ideology and action. To offset the extremists from the moderates by exposing the 2 sides in their Party reveals that the moderate Republicans have more in common with the democrats than their Right-Wing extremist Rethugs more interested in power than anything else.

The Democrats with this deal are playing a dangerous game of cat- and-mouse with the extreme right-wing, but I can see where they are coming from and it's an interesting tactic and I hope it is successful.

2. Always look at the bright side of life.

3. You are probably right

I see this tactic, but It will probably not work.

Guess I'm just an optomist

8. Rove?

This is all a plot by King Karl. He gets most of his judges now and kills the filibuster when Brown is named to replace Rehnquist in June. Naming an AA-female to be CJ of the SC will peel off a good chunk of the party of Jefferson.

Get ready NOW for the battle this summer.

4. If I recall the pukes didn't want the compromise

It was last week Frist kept saying all or nothing .

I don't think Frist had the votes , and he caved .

I'm glad the filibuster was saved .

5. frist said he was party to this, and is not obligated to it

[AnnInLa]

6. I agree with your assessment

I think there were 2 important things to come out of this, in our favor:

The Extreme RW Pukes did not take over the Senate; the puke mods served notice on Dobson et al that the extreme position was not welcome. I think the mods will try to take back the puke party from the neocons.

I think notice was served on the pres and vp that the Senate will not be an extension of the oval office.

This has implications much greater than crazed puke judges getting on courts which were lost to us already.

7. well said
