#2 We have 55 Republicans in the Senate

That counts the RINOs and those with a record of cold feet. The unfortunate fact the hard core is unwilling to recognize. You're not going to be able to change those any time soon. Not backing a RINO means the Dems get the seat, its the nature of the constituency base in the states.

#3 And a lot of moderates who voted for Bush are fed up with the hardcore on the right as much as on the left.

I'm sick of people who want an ideological bloodbath in this country. We are facing massive dangers over the next decade+ -- forget about Iraq and al Qaeda and look at the conversions to Islam among the far left revolutionary leaders in the countries to our south. And that's only the terror threat.

And the hard right would rather start an ideology bloodbath than help this president hold the country together and keep pursuing the GWOT -- which is what the Miers nomination is all about: protecting the Patriot Act, keeping Gitmo open etc.

Idiots. Damaging, dangerous, infantile, STUPID idiots, to be precise.

IMO of course.

#4 The sports analogy is even more painful when you realize that Bush's sports legacy is trading away Sammy Sosa.
