[Howlin]

He looks kind of shakey.......they should stay longer.

[Capitalism2003]

ok folks, I think the NRSC deserves our support and THANKS! I'm sending them every penny I get in tax reduction...they need to keep it up...more relief, year after year. Starve the beast and demolish the democrats.

[Mo1]

Bob Bryd wants to know how much longer the Senate will be in session today

[July 4th]

He's inquiring whether they're gonna stay for a while. He probably needs to go home and burn some crosses.

[enuu]

I just caught the tale-end on Fox. Did ANY Dems vote for it? And was McCain the only Republican against? And, curious about your views, is this really a victory at 350 instead of the higher number?

[WarSlut]

I can't even put into words how much I LOATHE John McCain. And I mean in the worst way... not the best way.

But alas, Johnny, ya' took on Bush and ya' lost again. I hope you have a 1000 nightmares of 2000 tonight, you petty, bitter, miserable SOB.

[Howlin]

Here.

[Mo1]

Frist is talking .. says the plans are to finish this bill/amendments tonight

[Dolphy]

LOL, Frist is making them stay, just as he said he would when the Dems threatened to string along the tax cut bill with one thing after another.

[Tuxedo]

It's an AIDS bill. Tax Cut was passed.

[clintonh8r]

They should force him to filibuster (the old fashioned way) until he, uh,....you know.

[BigMacGOP]

Nelson and Miller for...McCain and Chafee against...

[Mo1]

It's an AIDS bill. Tax Cut was passed.

Correct .. sorry for not mentioning this

[Tuxedo]

May lose Snowe once it comes out of conference. Have to hang on to Voinovich. I think Susan Collins needs to slap Olympia upside the head a few times.

[LurkerNoMore!]

Thanks so much for the heads-up. Just got home from work and was about to watch an Everybody Loves Raymond rerun.

[Tuxedo]

Now you can watch C-SPAN2 and see "Everybody Hates AIDS"

[MJY1288]

Being that is almost midnight.... Senator Byrd is really burning the midnight "crosses" tonight

[RoseofTexas]

This is a comfort to me after spiting nails all day over the WICKED DEMON RATS skiddled to OK to avoid the Re-zoning!! They are on thier way back to Texas, the whatever you call it expires at midnight!! The bastards GOT AWAY WITH IT and the pubs can't do a DAMN THING about it!! I am fuming!! WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIER LITTLE ADVANTAGE? The taxpayer that's who!! Down on my side of the woods the RATS dominate my city and these bastards are being hailed as HEROES! I better go take some prozac before my head explodes in anger!! AAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

[Consort]

Byrd looked a little paler tonight.

[Mo1]

Bryd is asking for a show of hands from the Senators on how many ammendment there will be

Bobby wants to go home I guess

Now Bobby is asking for a leave of absence for the rest of the evening ..
