Reply #1: Dear Nance: You Expect Way Too Much!

This isn't our grandfathers' GOP. These men (and their female puppets) are THUGS, not politicians. Add to that their severe mental and emotional illnesses, and fainting couches are the most appropriate sort of furniture to have in abundance.

The GOP of yore was capable of sucking it up, facing facts, and telling Tricky Dick to take the easy way out. That ain't gonna happen here. The only people who are going to get Dubya to move will probably be armed.
