“The problem is every time the Republicans make a deal, they go off, and they go back to their caucuses, and their rightwing says, ``No, you can't do this.'' So they have to come back-- and they have to come back and say, ``Oh, I'm sorry. We can't do this.'' So we've had a lot of trouble here.

That's not happening this time because this process is being driven for political reasons by their illogical extremists. Mr. Cavuto. Do you put Senator Trent Lott in that camp, sir?”
