The Seven Dwarfs are determined to lead the Republican Party down the tubes towards future failure. Unless... and I'm sure it will, the filibuster returns over some other real, or imagined, slight to Harry Reid and his Regulators, and gives them a chance to restore their lost honor.

John McCain, a military hero of my generation, has once again demonstrated that, politically, he is nothing more than a party of one, and just loves to bite the President at every opportunity. John Warner, Virginian, thoroughly in love with his image of himself. Guess what, John? The red states don't love you! Too bad we can't vote against you. Chafee, Snowe, Collins? Read a map, small 'r' republicans! DeWine has gone sour, and Lindsey Graham resembles a character I used to see on the Howdy Doody Show back in the early days of home TV. Clarabelle, the Clown! With the seven failing to carry their share of the load, the party will have to take to the foxholes and start over again when the going gets tough.

Along with "Sheets" Byrd's hyperbolic ranting quoting of Ben Franklin about preserving the republic, I was reminded of a New Zealand friend's description of the parliamentary sessions in that country, "It's great high comedy."

p>The trouble is that there is nothing comedic about it at all; the party seems intent to throw itself in front of a speeding train. Any doubt what Harry's Vigilantes would have done to any Democrat breaking ranks? I don't! br> -- John R. Martin br> New Braunfels, Texas /p> p> The fact of the matter is this: Frist was silly enough to believe Harry Reid -- to accept his word! Now that is silly, that is proof of one being excessively naive. br> --
