So What do Southern Republicans Want?

They want to go back to the old south. A landed aristocracy, lots of people working for nothing, no industry to speak of. They want us all back on the plantation, black, white, or Mexican.

The absolute disdain for people's lives expressed today by Mitch McConnell and Richard Shelby is much more destructive than Blago's bribe demands. And I did not vote for him in the last election - I hated both major candidates so much I left the governor choice blank.

These Republicans will damage the country more than Bin Laden could ever dream of. With luck, in 2 years we'll get the dead enders out of the Senate. At least Fitzgerald caught Blago before he could kill any people, much less a whole industry.
