It's time for the Democrats to take Specter up on his offer...
To release all our members to vote their conscience and to challenge the Republican leadership to do the same. Senator Harry Reid said today that several Repubican Senators had come up to him and told him they agreed with his position but they had to follow the wishes of their Leadership. I don't see a whole lot of other options.
5. So what's either Reid or Frist saying they're releasing them going to
to to change that? Sure, I understand the $$ and the special interest groups putting pressure on both sides of this issue. That's not what I asked.
Why would it make any difference if each Party leader released each Senator and said vote your concience. That insinuates that they are totally under Party rule! I didn't think that wsa true for ALL of them!
we can propose all the good-faith bullshit we want to...the GOP will NEVER do ANYTHING in good faith. It ain't IN THEM! Bring on the fucking nuclear option and lets see where it leads.
By putting forth such an idea with hopes that it will divide the Repubs and hopefully get a few to come to their senses and also to put the leadership on the spot. Think chess.... :)
the politicians worked for US and not their Leadership. We're in a republic and not a theocracy or dictatiorship. It's PRESIDENT Bush and NOT King George Bush. Maybe these people should realize that? Hmm, nah. They're scared pussy's.
