Since "Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.", I and others think it's a good idea to centralize what the goes on in the Senate (or House).
So if you see something happening on the Senate/House floor and you don't want to start a new thread to ask if anyone else just heard what you heard, you can leave a short note on who said what and about what and I'll try and find it the next day in THE RECORD. Or if you see a thread that pertains to the Senate, House, or pretty much any GOV'T agency please link your thread here.
If you have any suggestions for this thread please feel free to let me know.
Here's a few helpful links.
C-SPAN what a great thing. Where you can watch or listen live to most Government happenings.
C-SPAN 1 carries the HOUSE.
C-SPAN 2 carries the SENATE.
C-SPAN 3 (most places web only) carries a variety of committee meetings live or other past programming.
OR FEDNET has online feed also.
A great thing about our Government is they make it really easy for the public to research what the Politicians are doing and saying (on the floor anyway).
THOMAS where you can see a RECORD of what Congress is doing each day. You can also search/read a verbatim text of what each Congressmen/women or Senator has said on the floor or submitted 'for the record.' [This is where the real juicy stuff can be found.]
Also found at Thomas are Monthly Calendars for the Majority and Minority
Roll Call Votes can be found here.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT (aka The Dept. of Defense)
No she's not .. remember Gary Aldrich's book .. many in the WH where never cleared
FWIW, when I read that statement, it sounds to ME like she's backing up Bush. Am I wrong?
She's playing both sides of the fence .. the base is still not happy with how she voted .. but she also needs to play to the center for the independent voters
Vote for it .. but then trash it ... It's an old game of hers
A small thought I had last Fri.
I think the most telling part in Bush speech in York,PA last Fri. was when he turned around and saw that the people behind him were standing he told them to "sit down", it's little things like this that the media misses.
1:00 p.m.: Convene and resume consideration of the motion to proceed to S.J. Res. 40, the Constitutional Amendment on Marriage.
I'm watching Carl Cameron .. he's saying Little Ron P. Reagan will be speaking at the DNC Convention
No surprise there
ALSO .. the Gay Marriage vote in on Wed. and Both Kerry and Edwards will be in DC for the vote
Sounds like Congress has been getting flooded with calls. Did you call Graham and Nelson?
HEINZ KERRY: A Republican until a year-and-a-half ago, until Max Green was defeated. And when Max Green was defeated the way he was, I was so very upset that I thought if Jack had been alive he would've been so offended by what they did to him, and I just left then. I was really upset by that.
He was a hero. With 3 limbs gone and they called him unpatriotic. It's just not right.
Max Green???????????????
Green .... Cleveland??? ... yea they almost sound the same *L*
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT.
It sure was! And by someone who isn't politically sharp and can't understand his stupid accent. ;-)
KING: Clear up something, was John McCain felt given an offer?
KERRY: No. No, nobody was offered anything until I called John Edwards.
KING: Was he given a feeler?
KERRY: No, what happened, Larry, was, and I think it was the responsible thing to do, that many people, myself included, admire John McCain...
KING: You're friends, aren't you?
KERRY: We are friends. It's a dear friendship, and I respect him and respect that friendship enormously. And I admire John McCain's willingness to stand up and sort of speak his heart to the country. I think that's important, and that's what John Edwards and I are going to do. But I think that ...
KING: So you didn't offer.
KERRY: People suggested that we look at that. There were some people on the other side of the fence, may I say, who reached out and suggested it. John and I chatted briefly about whether or not we should even explore it. And I think in his heart he felt that it was not something he wanted to do, and in the end, we saw issues about it, and we didn't pursue it.
KING: What did you think?
KERRY: It's that simple.
HEINZ KERRY: I like John. I like John. I've even voted for John in Pennsylvania when he ran the last time.[WHO IS SHE TALKING ABOUT??}
KING: You were a Republican, then.
HEINZ KERRY: Yes, I voted for John McCain.[DID SHE LIVE IN AZ???]
KING: Would you have supported a Kerry/McCain ticket?
HEINZ KERRY: I think one can say yes or no...
Did you see the interview??
When Larry asked her if she approved of Edwards as a VP
There was a reaaaaaaaaaalllly long pause
KING: Would you have supported a Kerry/McCain ticket?HEINZ KERRY: I think one can say yes or no...
Who taught who? Or are they just two flip-flopping peas in a pod?
I give up when it comes to expecting the FEC or anyone else to do anything meaningful on that sort of thing. :(
