As you can see, I put "banglist" in the keywords because Alberto Gonzalez supports an assault weapons ban. I'd be tempted to filibuster him myself on those grounds, in addition to the questionable memos, but fair is fair: he deserves the advice and consent of the Senate.

It is obvious, however, that the Democrats don't want to drop their obstructionist tactics. Look for filibuster resurrections when President Bush submits those judicial nominees.

I agree about your uneasiness as regards Assault Weapons. However, I think he was just giving lip service to something that won't happen.

Why do all these 'Rats have to keep reminding us of what they wish they were and what they wished they had accomplished.

They are so delusional and childish, wishing their lives away.

Algore invented the Internet.
Hillary's portrait on her book cover is accurate.
Sam Donaldson's hair is natural.
Jocelyn Elders is an officer in some kind of military.
JOhn KERry is an Olympic Decathlete.
Ted Kennedy is relevant and stable.
Pelosi Galore is still 25 years old.
Joe Biden never went bald.
Tom Daschle is a sweet little munchkin.
Dan Rather is competent.


And on and on......

If the President is denied votes on his nominees, then HE needs to float his OWN nucular option:

Veto every Appropriations bill and shut down the government on 10/1/05. He's not up for re-election again; they are.

I, for one, am rooting for a loud and vocal filibuster by the Democratic Party on this one.

They will expose themselves as fools to the entire Hispanic community.

Go ahead punks...make my day.

Your timing is great with that comment. That is what is being talked about on the hill.

Yes, just keep feeding them more rope. The more they obstruct progress, the deeper their grave gets. The libs don't even yet know what GWBs proposal is in specific -- idiots -- yet they are so intent on keeping their hands on the public's money, they are even denying that SS has a problem. Sorry Dems, you are busted!!!!

Can somebody tell me WHEN this happened? For as long as I can remember, all we've heard is that SS is in crisis!

They are saying it now, and Frist was just on FOX reiterating thier comments -- again all trying to defame and obstruct GWBs effort to improve and save the SS system. No problem -- my arse.
