How angry are the Republicans whose arms were twisted by Delay

To make them change their votes against the Medicare bill?

Does anyone think this might affect Delay's stranglehold on the House?

2. Yeah, but they let Delay pull that three hour brainwash session.

And the knowledge that you were taken for a fool can make some people both testy and vengeful.

It was the extreme conservatives who voted against the bill at first and let themselves be worn down and persuaded, the ones who hate Bush's out of control spending the most. They have constituents with views equal to theirs. Now they find out the money hemmorrhage is much much worse than they were told.

Bush's relationship with the conservative wing has been going steadily downhill. Is this the final straw?

Final enough for them to field a conservative candidate and destroy him on purpose?

3. Angry? Intimidated more like it.

This story is STILL going on. Just one more example of Republican hypocrisy.

Maybe if there was oral sex involved...
