Fair enough, and I appreciate your answer. I don't agree with it but I do like hearing your opinion on it. I don't think we need to debate it further in this thread, as it was already enough of a hijack on my part.
My hope at this point is that the discontent among many republicans is growing to the point that they will eventually make their voice heard a bit louder. The war is becoming less popular, so is the administration and its policies. Maybe this will ultimately lead to less extremism and division. Until then, fights that occur in the senate like the current filibuster argument are just going to get worse as neither side wants to concede anything. I know you aren't a fan of moderation but I think a little cooperation by both sides (and in my humble opinion, more so on the other side) is sorely needed.
