LOL - did she?

The guest host on the Laura Ingraham show this morning interviewed Senator Bill Frist. He made the point that Republicans elected their Senators to go to Washington and do their jobs. He said we were going past frustration and into anger now. One question he asked was "When are you going to force the Democrats to vote on these candidates?" Senator Frist wouldn't give an answer. He said he wanted to exhaust all his other options first, said he was involved in daily discussions with the Democrats, and then he changed the subject.

What a wimpy answer. I want to know two things:

1. I want to see your plan, Senator, and I want to see how many goals you have completed so far and what is left to do before you declare that it's time to force a vote?

2. I want a timetable. What is the due date for completion of your plan and when do you anticipate that the vote will be forced?

From what Senator Frist was saying, it sounds like the Democrats will put some small change into the negotiation that they know the Republicans will reject, and then when they get rejected they go back and think of something else to try two weeks later. If this continues, nothing will ever be done and the candidates will never be approved.

Senator Frist did say that he was holding firm on the requirement that every candidate should get an up or down vote, with no filibuster. So when the end comes, that will be the Republican goal. That is, IF the end comes...

No she didn't and I think she may be related to Sen Frist.
