Vice President Dick Cheney sounded as resolute as ever about Bolton's
nomination when he spoke to Republican campaign lawyers on Friday.

Good for him!

The White House is now lobbying Voinovich and two other GOP senators
on the committee to support Bolton, although
Bush has not gotten involved personally.

WHY NOT?!!!
Sometimes Bush makes me sick to my stomach!

If Bolton is as tough as they portray him, he will get nominated.

Is anyone else as sick as I am of all these endless manhood insults of honorable politicians?

Winning in politics is not about getting your way on the small issues, it's about the big picture.

"If the White House wants to spend enough political chips they could save it," Lichtman said.

Precisely. Despite the VP's stated sentence of support, I haven't seen the WH leading any charge of the light brigade to Bolton's defense. They've been pretty meek, if you ask me.

A comment of support here, and another one there.

I think it really is their style to float people and see if anything turns up. Ashcroft, Chavez, Kerik.... examples. I don't mind the style, but it's hard to get worked up over that which hasn't yet gotten the WH in a lather.

Colin Powell needs to STFU and haul his liberal carcass back home. Apparently, President Bush did not boot him hard enough, since he has found his way back to Washington and is now backstabbing Bolton.

I can't imagine why Bolton wanted it in the first place. Withdraw his nomination and then leave the position empty. That will send a stronger message of how the administration feels towards the UN than Bolton could.

Maybe as a result there'll be a new military airbase in Cleveland now.

Bolton understands the corruption and mendacity of the UN, and he would announce it loudly.

The Marxist rats who support the UN socialists can't allow that. Being told the truth about the UN would increase the number of Americans calling for the UN's overdue demise. The UN with its criminal, fascist NGOs is one of the power bases for the rat party. The corrupt leftists will fight hard to continue the UN's theft, murder and lies.

translation: democrat/leftist efforts support UN's rejection of Bolton.

This is not a vote about bolton, this is ONLY a vote about support for the UN.

The WH should make this a UN issue and those that oppose bolton support UN FRAUD.
