3. This post is funny
"Jim and I just made a tempestuous appearance at the Republican City Committee meeting tonight. In no uncertain terms I told them exactly what I thought of our two senators: I called them whores. Yes, WHORES. In public, too. For that, I offer not a single hint of apology."

7. What a bunch of loonies.
It's sort of interesting, though, to see how much power they think the Dems and moderate Repubs have. I suppose that's a by-product of listening to right-wing pundits...

Well, what is apparent from this whole fiasco is that Republicans are clueless when it comes to acting like a majority party. The RINO's were not only sell-outs, but stupid enough to think they actually got something in their bargin. After all the rumors, given a lousy three judges, its clear that Democrats did not budge and, in the face of failing negotiations, it was the RINOS that chased after a deal...in the last minute they abandon Frists 7 or nothing and took.......3.

RINO's are, without a doubt, poster children for self-hate Republicans. Uncle Tom's, most terrified of being out of favor with peer elites and willing to sacrifice anyone.

McCain is a bit more complex, he is a narcissist that is a legend in his own mind - the kind of man that sits around a table listening to no one but himself. He is self-rightious, and bristles at the suggestion he has the same moral weakenesses of other men. He will never take responsibility for the destruction of the party. He is the kind of man who, if accussed of selling his mother to the devil, would stoutly defend himself by saying that was a lie, the devil got her for free.

13. Rush, Hannity and O'Reilly made this worse for them
They played this up so much, and made it so big, that they see this as a terrible calamity and betrayal.

They really think this is a disaster for them!

Thank you, right-wing pundits, for fetishizing the debate for them like this.

8. Thank you for posting

I went to the site only because of the provided link. Bunch of sick pups over there. Anyway this caught my eye:

"Tomorrow I am dropping my Republican membership on the voter roles. I will never vote Republican again, if I must be in a party of losers I will at least join a party I agree with. And if I want to be in a party of winners, I'm going to become a democrat."

I didn't know what to think. After all we are the ones who are STUCK with *. Because and only because he STOLE the election. And when our side gets a victory of any sort, they can't deal with it. Suck it up rednecks. Get over it.

10. It's interesting
You say some people here going frantic. If last night was a victory for anyone, it was for the "moderates", whoever they maybe. Frist is dead in the water. People will see this as a loss for the Republicans

9. Republican math
I thought this was funny...

"YES that is the NEWS. OF THE SEVEN, WE GET 3 BULL SHIT JUDGES. The democrats retain the right to filibuster the remaining 5."

Sooo...seven minus three equals five???

:wtf:

15. It would have been a bargain if they WITHDREW certain judges
Was this even on the table??

Anyway, use this wedge and shove it down the repugs throats.

Tell them that they have been sold-out and betrayed!

I'm getting quite a chuckle out of reading the FC thread, but I have one question. What is a RINO? :shrug:
