Desperate, Shameless, and Pathetic

No, this title doesn't presage new online identities for the Fraters Libertas contributers (alhtough these would be remarkably descriptive). No, instead I direct you to the latest attempt of the Left to reconcile their recent electoral defeats--by not reconciling at all. Rather than accepting the judgment of the American people and relinquishing the reigns of power for the next 2 years, they'd prefer to attempt every legal manuever and procedural manipulation possible to hang on.

Specifically, they are targeting the three "moderate" Republican Senators and asking them to break their ties with the Republican party by not voting for Trent Lott as majority leader, and thus retaining de facto control of the Senate for the Democrats. It's particulary interesting to note they refer to Jeffords' party switching of last year as an "act of conscience," yet Norm Coleman is pilloried by those such as Garrison Keillor as a cynical opportunist for doing the same thing.
