He is using the old line "I support the troops, but not the war"----even though a lot of the troops are re-upping and/or going back after being injured....SO, Sen. Byrd, do you support THEM, also...He made it sound like the troops had been drafted!
He also doesn't like the conference report on the Supplemental and he said that had HE been the committee chairman, and/or the Majority Leader, this bill would never have made it out of conference because he knows what he is doing.....!!!
Leaky is eulogizing the anti-American, Code Pink woman who was blown up. He wants a fund for civilians to be named after her.
Oh, That's who he was talking about, I was only 1/2 listening to him.
You have got to be kidding me
With taxpayer money???
Um, yes. I was getting pretty mad about it sitting here all by my lonesome so I thought I'd see what you guys thought.
Sorry about that .. I was painting the kitchen, on the phone and helping the kids with homework and had to put the mute button on
Code Pink ... hmmmmm .. playing to the left??
Dick Morris is on Hannity right now talking about the Rosen Trial
Rosen is in some BIG touble .. could go away for 20+years
Did you say "UP-Chuck" because that's what I feel like doing whenever I see his face on TV or anywhere!
Dick Morris says "significant chance" Rosen will flip on Hillary

LOL. You were FReeper multi-tasking.
You are going to put me to shame, I thought multi-tasking was watching TV, eating, and posting....but dang, you have me beat by a mile!!! LOL
Now if you can just add posting a play-by-play account of c-span 2, you might really be busy!!! HA
I haven't yet mastered that .. hence the reason for my short replies in posting .. *L*
I am sitting here listening to Carper, I think (I only have the sound on my computer, because my granddaughter confiscated my TV for Spongebob Squarepants!), going on and on about how you mean old REpublicans better remember that "whatever comes around, goes around", nah, nah, nah, and how they better expect to be treated bad when they are in the minority--
I don't know where Carper has been, the Dems are treating the Reps bad NOW!
All of the dems are upset about the REAL ID ACT and legislation that was added in conference after they voted it out of the Senate, but have you heard ever ONE Rep Senator get up and act indignant about the amendment that was added secretly re: Cisneros and the IRS?
Is Reid wearing a pink tie?
On my TV it looks lilac---
He is talking about REps doing something in conference behind closed doors and NOT LETTING THE SENATE HAVE AN UP OR DOWN VOTE!!!
Dang, now he wants an up or down vote....lol
LOL ... Priceless!
Jeff Sessions is up now talking favorably about John Bolton. It is about time that SOMEONE does....
I wonder if the they actually had the double secret meeting with the NSC at 5:00?
If so, then it couldn't have been very long, because Voinivich was giving a floor speech a while ago---UNLESS, he skipped yet another meeting so he can plead ignorance.
I heard on the radio that Voinivich STILL has not contacted or attempted to contact Mr. Bolton himself to ask any questions....malpractice, IMHO
I caught just the end of him, I was planing on posting his speech and the letters he put in the record.
The Senate convened at 9:45 a.m. and adjourned at 8:24 p.m. One record vote was taken.
9:30 a.m.: Convene and begin a period of morning business.
Thereafter, resume consideration of H.R.3, the Transportation Equity Act.
