GOP leaders face dissent in party

[Dulcinea]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Despite their largest congressional majorities in decades, Republicans are struggling with internal dissent as they try to ride out a House ethics controversy and win a Senate showdown over confirmation of President Bush's court nominees.

The worries are short-term and longer range, political as well as philosophical -- the risks of angering voters by appearing high-handed as well as concerns about a future Congress under Democratic control.

"History shows that we won't always be in the majority. And if you had a liberal president and a Democrat-controlled Senate, I think that it could do great damage," Sen. John McCain said recently, explaining his opposition to a GOP proposal to curb minority party rights on judicial nominations.

1. John McCain to them is what Zell Miller is to us

they see him as a traitor, eventhough he is right on the mark. Lurk on over to Freerepublic, the pulse of the republican party, and you won't find one kind word about McCain.

2. Freeptards are lemmings. AWOL George says the sky is green, then the sky

is green. If the next day he says it's purple, the freeptards will insist it's purple. They have to check with Boil Ass Limbaugh & Fox News before they have an opinion on any current event to make sure they're on the right side. They are children with NO ability to think for themselves.
