IT'S COMING DOWN IT'S COMING DOWN...

Don't you love all that wonderful restraint the GOP has been showing since the midterms?

The threats of ending various types of abortions? The unextended unemployment benefits? (for a while, at least) Trent Lott running his mouth off? Proposing to end taxes on dividends as an idea for stimulus, to go along with more massive cuts for those living a more plush existence?

Yep, the Repugs have been doing a good job to make sure not to alienate the moderate members of their party, particularly in the Senate.

Oh, wait a minute:
WASHINGTON -- Rhode Island Sen. Lincoln Chafee is the first Republican to announce he's opposed to President George W. Bush's plan to revive the economy.

Chafee gathered reporters on Capitol Hill Thursday to say he thinks the $670 billion economic stimulus plan may have trouble passing the Senate. He didn't say who else may oppose the initiative.
Dixie, we have a problem.

Ooh, and Kennedy & the Dems are promising a filibuster if/when Pickering comes to the floor. I'm all for that, but Ted, make sure that in all those hours of filibustering, the words "Trent-Lott-Judge" make it in there. Thanks, buddy!
