Thanks to turning your guy loose, Oh Unnervingly Tan One:
"Republicans have dedicated significant time and resources in engaging regional and local media, editorial boards, and talk radio over the break," said Kevin Smith, a spokesman for House Minority Leader John A. Boehner , R-Ohio. "We’re going to hold every Democrat accountable for their irresponsible actions on this bill, and we will ramp up the pressure until they do the right thing and pass the bipartisan Senate bill. In the end, we believe they will cave."
Don't you guys ever read the sports pages?
In the end, we believe they will cave.
Special note to Senators Baucus, Bayh, Carper, Casey, Conrad, Inouye, Johnson, Kohl, Landrieu, Lincoln, McCaskill, Mikulski, Ben Nelson, Bill Nelson, Pryor, Rockefeller, Salazar, Webb and Whitehouse, and Reps. Boren, Carney, Cooper, Holden, Lampson, and Shuler (c'mon, Shuler, tell 'em what this locker room stuff is all about):
Please take note of the language. It's no accident.
If you cross the line and vote with the Republicans on FISA, you won't be hailed as heroes. You won't be received as reasonable moderates. You won't be spared the attack ads or the abuse.
You will have "caved."
That's how they see you. Your votes won't be held up as examples of bipartisan compromise. They will be held up as the scalps of weak-willed losers who "caved."
Caved.
They said it, not me.
Caved.
