GOP: Unless the Democrats can step up and really oppose a nominee en mass

From a UPI article headlined: Analysis: Dem opposition impact minimal
http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20050126-030743-3437r

"Unless the Democrats can step up and really oppose a nominee en mass, limited ire will mean little," said one Senate Republican leadership aide.

Geeze, even a GOP AIDE knows the score. New Democratic Leadership is desperately needed.

1. "New"? We have "old"?

I'd kill to see ANY Democratic leadership. First we have to get them out from under their beds.

2. WRONG. The opposition's reasons are now in the historic record.

And for public consumption.

Republicans are NOT happy about that, so they mock the results in hope the action will not be repeated.

4. I agree---

Condi's now on record as having the most opposition votes since Kissinger. And that means something in the convoluted pecking order in the Capitol....it will always be on the record. If nothing else, the world will know not everyone agrees to march in lock-step w/Bushco.
