C-span

Posted on 04/19/2005 11:07:48 AM PDT by ken5050

OK..here's what we know..Senate is in recess for the weekly party caucus luncheons. Supposed to resume at 2:15. on C-span 2.. The Foreign Relations committee is supposed to meet at 2:45 to vote on the Bolton nomination. Lugar has refused requests for a delay. Just before the Senate recessed, Reid objected to Frist's UC request for the Froeign Relations committee to meet today. Frist withdrew his request..

I'm sick to my stomach

That's two of us. Lugar is just as weak as he sounds. I hope he knows how badly he got rolled and that there is no comity with the dems.

"Lugar should have called the vote 2 hours ago. He got ROLLED."

Just like he did last week when he gave Kerry the extension.

The so-called Constitutional Option is dead now.

This last-minute sabotage by Voinovich et al is highly unusual. I don't think it has anything to do with Bolton. The UN Ambassadorship just isn't important enough to pull this kind of stunt and embarass the Party. I think this is a shot across the bow of Frist and the "nucular" option.

I've had enough. I'm turning on the ball game.

I'm not prepared to turn my back on the party yet, but damn these RINOs need to go. President Bush needs senators he can depend on!

Look, Lugar was great today, and he deserves credit for that. No way did he know that the RINOs would cave after assuring him he had their votes.

We cant blame Lugar today.

Color me ticked to a fairthee well. I must leave and it's probably a good thing before I start swearing in an entirely unladylike manner.

About a million years ago, I think Mathias was a Republican. I could be wrong.
