Reid: Hope we can compromise THIS week but without compromise, we're gonna have a SHOWDOWN next week...

Sheets continuing to whine, "WHY do we have to have a showdown???"

Reid: Sit down Sheets, we're not rehasing it here on the floor...

Well, I confess I voted for Carter. What did I know? It was my first time voting. (I've never voted for another Dem since.)

You are forgiven.

I confess I considered voting for Carter before pulling the lever for Ford.

Rush just said that there will be bills proposed today in both the House and the Senate to give all of the illegal immigrants legal status!!!

Kennedy/McCain will propose the one for the Senate---he didn't say who would in the House.....

OMG---THAT will be another fistfight!!

NOw, Byrd is sticking his nose in to help bumbling Reid against FRist...

BTW, Frist said for sure next week they would take up the nominees in order they are on the executive calendar which means Priscilla Owens first.!

provided Bolton is confirmed this week, imo, the 'constitutional' option happens next week. Is that the week you are going to the beach?

Uh.....what is this crap with all the Dems saying that if Bolton is confirmed he will "need oversight" at the UN?

That's rich. It's the UN that needs oversight!

>>With regard to Stone Mountain, your "pretty sure" could not be more wrong. Have you forgotten who their U.S. Rep is? Look it up. The Stone Mountain precincts went 75% plus for Kerry.

Gainesville, on the whole, was slightly GOP and Hall Country was largely GOP. Gainesville was clearly the least GOP area in the County, and the minority precincts went 80% plus for Kerry. And they are growing. Of course, a large portion of the minority population there can't vote. But their kids will be able to.

Again, I'm just saying that your stated view of Pubbies in the 'burbs with long commutes driving into the office is a gross oversimplification of the commuting patterns here..<<

I get your basic point and you are right that I greatly simplified.

But the reason I am reasonably sure about those two areas is that I looked it up. Did you look at that map piece I posted? Its from here
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/vote2004/countymap.htm

But again I get and agree with your basic point.

Just wait to see what happens if Bolton isn't confirmed. Someone will have to send the white jackets.

Someone needs to remind the dumbos in the senate what happened to Tom Daschle because of his lame obstructionism - out of a job! Where's Terry McCauliffe now due to his vitriolic hatred of Bush - again, out of a job! Shut up and VOTE already!

Frist interrupts and says they are not heading for a 'showdown'.
