Yes I did! And I think he's up for relection in '04. The strange part was at some point I heard him say that the resolution wasn't tough enough? I was in the middle of doing something and his blubbering caught my ear, so I'm not sure I heard correctly and certainly didn't hear all of it.
Any help on what he said would be appreciated.
77 to 23! Take that Babs, Harry, Alec, and all you hollyweirdoes! Our other senator Nelson finally did something smart and voted yes.
He still likes bill, but will bash him for anything that Dick thinks he's doing wrong. Hellary on the other hand he hates with a passion and the feeling is mutual.
I think he really enjoys playing both sides of the politic field. Loves to point out all the idiot stuff dems are up too, but voted for algore.
Maybe healthy dose of prozac would help.
Hey good news! Madonna's new movie is a stinker! So what else is new?
It is the film the world has been waiting to see. Madonna, one of the world's biggest stars, appearing on screen directed by her husband Guy Ritchie, should have been an explosive box-office combination.
But Swept Away may now be on its way to becoming a Hollywood flop on the scale of Kevin Costner's Water World or Mariah Carey's notorious Glitter.
American critics, finally allowed to see the film the day before it is released in the US, were universally scathing. [snip]Link
Things are quiet here at the Betty household. It's weird. The hubster took off for South Carolina yesterday and Number one son has "Fall Break" until the 21st, so he spent the night at a friends. I'm all alone, except for the dog and two cats. Got the whole bed to myself last night! A nice treat. It's so quiet. Yea!
I think Registered should create a photo with Jimmy pulling his Nobel Peace Prize out of a CrackerJack box.
Poll Sees Americans Taking Bush Line on Iraq
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Most Americans accept arguments by President Bush for a potential war against Iraq: that it may soon have a nuclear weapon and the surest way to avert the threat is to oust Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, according to a poll released on Thursday.
The findings came as the House of Representatives voted to grant Bush the power to launch a military attack on Iraq if needed. The Senate is expected to follow suit.
The poll by the Pew Research Center for People and the Press, an independent opinion research group, found that debate over Iraq was having little impact on next month's elections, which will determine control of Congress.
According to the poll, 86 percent of those surveyed believed Saddam had nuclear weapons or was close to acquiring them, and 66 percent believed he was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. [HA!]
Bush cites the attacks as demonstrating the need to act against Saddam, and has linked his campaign against Iraq to the "war on terrorism" he launched last fall, but he has not established a direct link between Sept. 11 and Iraq.
Bush has also warned that Iraq could build a nuclear weapon within a year if it can get enriched uranium.
"Clearly, the president's major arguments in favor of taking military action against Iraq are resonating with the public," the Pew center said in its report on the poll.
Furthermore, 85 percent of those surveyed believed that the Saddam must be ousted -- rather than simply disarmed -- to deal with the threat posed by Iraq. [Double HA!]
The survey of 1,513 people was taken Oct. 2-6, before Bush made a prime-time speech on the Iraqi threat. {Looks like you networks are pretty worthless in helping people form opinions! HA HA!] It had an error margin of 3 percentage points.
Opponents of attacking Iraq say a war would destabilize the Middle East and detract from the war on terrorism and say a resumption of U.N. arms inspections of Iraq would be sufficient to avert any threat posed by Saddam.
Mirroring other surveys, the Pew poll found that 62 percent of Americans favored military action against Iraq. But it also said nearly half of those surveyed were concerned a war against Iraq would harm the U.S. image among Muslim nations, and 40 percent said they expected large U.S. casualties.
The poll also found the debate over Iraq, although it was closely followed by the public, was having little impact on the battle for control of Congress in the Nov. 5 election.
"Nuts to you," seems appropriate.
I would like to thank all you wonderful people from the GUILD who sent the flowers. They arrived this afternoon around 11AM, Eastern time. The flowers are lovely and have made me very happy. I will take a picture of them and post the picture. I will also take the picture with me to my mother's memorial service to show my siblings. Once again, Thank you so very much. I am blessed to have friends like you, here on Free Republic. God Bless you all.
I wish someone had reminded me of this during the last fundraiser so I could have made it a challenge of some sort. ;-)
Old KKK Byrd is such a twit!! I hope he keeps talking, though. He can't help but run some Dems. off, and maybe they'll think 'Repub' for this election!
