Our Duty - Vanity
vanity | 3 2 2005 | olde north church

A Klansman turned Senator accuses President Bush of using Hitlerian tactic. Not a head turns.
Republicans have comfortable control over the US Senate, yet they gently tip-toe like syncophants to the minority.
The Republican Senate Majority Leader backs down from fights regarding a cornerstone of President Bush's 2nd term policy goals and a fight for judges that could turn the course of history and mold the future of America for the foreseeable future and beyond.
There is a severe lack of leadership and unity in the U.S. Senate and the time has come to call the majority leader for what he is, weak and ineffectual. The time has come for a vote of no confidence and put a powerful leader in his stead. This is not the time to shirk from our duty to the future.

The problem here is that Frist didn't change the Senate rules the very first time the Democrats pulled this unconstitutional stunt. By not acting immediately, Frist allowed a simple rules change to be labeled as "The Nuclear Option"

There are only seven reasons for a super majority as written in the Constitution, and Presidential nominations isn't one of them. CALL YOUR SENATOR and tell him/or her to honor the Oath they swore to uphold and change the damn rules

I'm sorry, I'm missing something in your statement. I would say "nuance" but that's quite insulting, if you know what I mean. Could you tell me what's going over my head?

The time has come for a vote of no confidence and put a powerful leader in his stead.

Leaving aside that there is no option for a vote of no confidence, who's your candidate?

Yes Yes, don't all you people know who the senators are, for all you blacks, there is one klansman they call him sheets Bird, as in Robert Bird of West Virginia, how can you forgive him of the crosses he burned on Negro homes?

What kind of a leader is this guy Frist? Does he stand for anything? I was kind of happy when Trent Lott was replaced, but now I'm not so sure.

I think with the 2004 election results, there are enough new conservatives in the senate that they could put some pressure on Frist to stop trying to appease the Demorats.

Thank you.
No I don't think she said that, but I think she DID say something to the effect of being willing to wear a condom on her head if it would get people to use them more.

It's been a while, and I'm getting old :-)

I think it was Rush Limbaugh that mocked her by saying "Kinder Gentler"

He also started the routine of putting condoms over his microphone to protect the audience.
Thats where I got the idea for my logo.

I remember when she said in a press conference that she wouldn't object to issuing condoms to 5th graders, shortly after that bone headed remark, Billy Jeff fired her.

What I always laugh at when remembering General Elders, was her one of kind uniform that she fashioned all by her lonesome
