The Captain understands...

....just how conservatives are feeling.

The GOP campaigned on judicial nominations as the second-highest priority for the Senate, and the electorate rewarded them with a healthy gain of four seats, remarkable for an election in which the incumbent president won by a tight margin. After spending a record amount of money on supporting Republican candidates, the electorate has sat back and watched as the Democrats, led by Harry Reid, have uncorked one lunatic manuever after another: challenging Ohio's slate of electors, holding up Condoleezza Rice's nomination while people like Mark Dayton outright call her a liar, and attempting to extort the White House into giving up its Constitutional assignment of nominating the judges the President sees fit for Senate approval.

What has this bunch of Republican milquetoasts done? Nothing.


We didn't vote for conservatives who would sit on their thumbs and whine. We wanted action. And we're not getting it. What we're getting is a group of whiney cowards who refuse to do anything.

Conservatives don't vote for whiney cowards more than once, as a rule. That's the Democrat's M.O. The Republicans should learn that lesson.
