CONSERVATIVES NEED 12-STEP PROGRAM TO MANHOOD

It's pretty pathetic when a Kennedy is too drunk to drive into the Potomac. After the visibly intoxicated Rep. Patrick Kennedy crashed his car into a police barrier near the Capitol just before 3 a.m. last Thursday morning, he explained to the police he was hurrying back to the Capitol for a vote, a procedure known on the Hill as "last call." It could have been a lot worse: Patrick's designated driver that night was Ted Kennedy.

At some point in his scrolling list of excuses, Kennedy eventually claimed he was addicted to prescription drugs and checked himself into the newly opened Kennedy Wing of the Mayo Clinic. He explained he had been "sleep driving." If people fall for his story, his father, Ted, plans to attribute his last immigration bill to "sleep legislating."

Coming right on the heels of a three-year witch-hunt directed at Rush Limbaugh for an addiction to prescription drugs (because of his politics) — as well as the continuing threat to put Tom DeLay in prison (because of his politics) — you would think there would be at least some serious discussion of prosecuting the young Kennedy for his addiction to prescription drugs, too.

Perhaps the Republican attorney general in Washington needs to interview Democratic Palm Beach prosecutor Barry Krischer, who wasted three years and untold taxpayer dollars trying to frame Limbaugh, about the danger to society of prescription drug addiction.

Since the Republican's gained control of Congress all I've heard from the Republican's is 'we need bipartisan participation on this'. That is not how you wield your majority. You have a majority so you can ram your bills and your agenda through. There simply is no use in having a majority if you don't use it. Politics is like war. You bring all your force multipliers to bear and you don't count the cost or take prisoners, its about winning because losing is not an option.

The Republican's it seems have never understood how to govern when they have a majority and are real milk toasts when they're in the minority. And a minority it what the Republican's are fixing to become again in Nov. You cannot squander your power base with the hard core Conservatives and hope to retain power.
