Vote 'em ALL out and start over, buncha irresolute pansies.

Effing RINOs!!!
CHOKE! again! i can't drink coffee and read this thread today! ROR#!
extraordinary circumstances to be defined by them each individually, also, was how i understood it?
He didnt give away the store.
The Dems were gonna vote for Cloture anyway. They really ahd no choice. I said as much yesterday. So, while on its face the dems got something for nothing, JRB will get put through....and that mitigates the fight if she gets nominated to SCOTUS.
However, once they Vote in JRB, it will be hard to call her an extremeist...
