What's wrong with the GOP?

The Republicans can't seem to get in gear. They are spinning their wheels on Social Security, screwing the pooch on judicial nominees and John Bolton. President Bush's approval ratings have tanked (we got 4 more years either way, so I don't care about this). What is the problem? Two words. Tom DeLay. No, not the trumped up bullshit "scandals," but rather the fact that the Republicans need more of him. We need a Tom DeLay in charge of every Senate committee. We need a Tom DeLay as senate majority leader. Had we this, things would be getting done.

The Democrats are practicing a tyranny of the minority in the senate, and getting away with it due to the likes of Arlen Specter and Richard Lugar as committee chairs, and a host of weak-kneed "moderates" who can't seem to get behind their POTUS. What is wrong with the states that keep electing wimpy Republicans? I would rather see Democrats elected than wimpy Republicans. At least we'd know where we stand. Democrats want a wimpy half-Republican in charge of the House majority, and will do whatever it takes to get it. The fact that Democrats have gone after Tom DeLay with such passion is testament to his effectiveness. Let's see if we can't get some more like him in charge of things in the Senate.
