These Senators are messin' with us.
They are trading off who will be tough on issues but refusing to stand together in a block. Well perhaps we should act as exoskeletons for them. And if that doesn't work, they can crawl back int o the primordial ooze from whence they came.

1. I do not see the grand evil plan - but I do see folks picking fights as a
block only when they think they can win them.

3. So given the numbers in Congress and the Rs'
propensity to engage in the Vulcan mind meld, when can we expect them to be able to win? Sometimes you just have to do what is right.

2. I agree. It surely seems that way to me too. I have vowed to vote based
on principle. I sure wish they would too!

5. Well, hell, it could be a strategy. A series of sorties. Never gather
your strength all in one place, that would leave you vulnerable to one large attack... Break up into little bands, always shifting, always on the move...

Okay, I've blown MY wad trying to put a good face on it.
