"longterm consequences"prepare to "pay a dear price"

Referring to upcoming elections, Dobson said, "I am certain that these voters will remember both Democrats and Republicans who betrayed their trust." Almost from the beginning, religious conservatives had rejected any hint of compromise on the issue and said the only acceptable outcome would be an up-ordown vote on all Bush nominees, not just the three who were included in Monday's last-minute deal. "We had the momentum to win and they insisted on betraying us and there will be a price for that," said Weyrich. Conservatives are worried that the filibuster could be used by Democrats to block a Bush appointee for the high court. The agreement "spells trouble for any nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court," said R. Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. Mohler accused "centrist Republicans" of placing "the rules of the Senate over the sanctity of human life and the integrity of marriage." Perkins, of the Family Research Council, said the "longterm consequences" for those who supported the compromise will ultimately be determined by how they vote on any Supreme Court nominees.

OOhh indeed, the price shall be extracted. Interestingly though, while they clamor with all this tedious threatening, do they have any idea whatsoever who they would put up as candidates. These Taliban have no capacity whatsoever to pull off a third party ticket success. They desperately need the GOP as a place in which they too get success. They are impotent without the more moderate parts of the group. This is just so much positioning and idle bullcrap.
