Frist is too weak...

If I were the GOP Senate leader, I would have said this in response to the "stunt" performed by Turbin and Reid today:

"We as the majority are done trying to work with these people. They've showed time and again that they are nothing more than obstructionists, as Tom Daschle could verify, and the American people are not willing to permit this juvenile behavior to continue.

We are moving forward on the agenda of the American people with or without the Democrat party. They can not be allowed to hamstring real progress on a number of critical issues any longer.

The future America hangs in the balance, and while the Democrats obsess over intelligence formerly substantiated by the CIA, the Senate Intel Committee, Bill Clinton, Sandy Burger, Madeline Albright, William Cohen and others, this government ignores critical problems.

Illegals are overrunning our country, destroying our social services. Annual spending by the Congress has reached all time extremes and threatens to sink our ship as our debts continue to be financed by China and others not necessarily our closest allies. Islamofascists continue to fester in the shadows of America, preparing for the next attack in their jihad. Families are crumbling, schools are not educating people, businesses are driven out of the marketplace by frivolous lawsuits filed by shameless lawyers, and our manufacturing base has been driven offshore by CAFTA and other internationalists in exchange for an increase in service industry jobs.

Iran and North Korea are dangerously close to being nuclear powers while our own energy production has remained stagnant for decades and will be obscure soon without major investment.

The Democrats have stood in the way of each and every policy put forth to solve these problems without any credible alternative, and they no longer represent the American people who put them in this body as Senators. Either they are with us, and the American people, or they are against us."

Instead we have Bill Frist talking about "preserving the institution" and not following the RATs into the "gutter" and so forth. I say follow them into the gutter, sir, you are in the majority!! They are down on the mat in the 15th round of a prize fight for America's future, and you want to give them a hand getting back on their feet. Why??
