Republicans Leading from Behind : Fear of Principled Stand

I'm afraid this is truly the response to the attack on the new Senate majority and the Republicans in general.

And why will they be attacked? Easy, they, the progressive democrats, know the Republicans are always ready to conform, to compromise from fear of not being in the main stream of Washington's power brokers.

Even though the Republicans won a huge victory in the last election, they find themselves having to defend their victory. How do the democrats pull this off? For the most part, the Republicans are gutless hand-wringers.

In other words they really don't believe what they stand for. It's so much easier and less stressful to just 'go along to get along' while the democrats crush them under their heal.

Democrats know this and take advantage of their built in weakness to 'stand and deliver'.
