It's not roguish to put loyalty to country over loyalty to president.

It's roguish to plant lies with reporters.

Outta curiosity, CAN the pubs call a special meeting or conference tomorrow and demand a vote of Bolton...kinda like turning the tables of the pukeRATS, an up or down vote? You know like a sneaky attack or something like that?

It is roguish not to inform your party of your stance. Senator Vacillate blindsided everyone, appearing out of nowhere to rally to the Dems' cause. He either knew he would not support Bolton and is therefore a traitor to his party, or his mind was changed by the Dems and he is therefore an indecisive buffoon. Either way, that hardly makes him an American hero.

"It's not roguish to put loyalty to country over loyalty to president"


Of course not, easy to say when you keep the terms abstract, but your statement has nothing to do with this particular case. It's ludicrous to pretend that these vicious machinations have anything to do with upholding "loyalty to country" -- Pres. Bush and John Bolton are each far better judges of our national interests than the slimeballs who are dragging Bolton through the mud. What is roguish is anyone lending support to the scurrilous lowlife character assassins of the Demagogic Party. Bolton is a better person and a better patriot than any of his critics.... certainly comparison with the sleazy likes of Biden, Kerry, Kennedy, et al leaves Bolton looking better and better. He's not perfect, who is, but he deserves far better than the dismal treatment he is receiving from sleazebags who are not fit to shine his shoes.
