ON CAPITOL HILL Bolton Vote in Committee The Senate Foreign Relations Committee conducts a debate and vote on the nomination of John Bolton as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Chair Richard Lugar (R-IN) and Ranking Member Joseph Biden (D-DE) continue a review of the nominee, based on issues raised at the committee's April 19 business meeting. 10AM-3:30PM ET ON C-SPAN3
Very well stated.
Frist is really PISSED..big sigh..and raisign his voice to Sheets..
Is anybody at all watching Hagel????
Where did you hear that?
Damn. The day is exploding! Frist is in battle with Reid. CBS just dilberately lied to the American people by splicing Starr's interview and the McRino's are keeping everyone on edge in the committee!
Sheets is trying to say, "you young whippersnapper...when I was in the Klan..."
Dems (Byrd) keep using with wiggle room that 'nominees held in committee' yada yada yada.
Pubbies (Frist) keep letting them slip by. Pubbies won't call them on it.
These nominees HAVE BEEN VOTED OUT OF COMMITTEE. That they are being filibustered at the floor is NEW. But the Pubbies don't call them on that.
"Oh the pain!"
Hagel didn't tip his hand.
>>First, your county map does not support your position with regard to Stone Mountain. Stone Mountain is in DeKalb Country. No county in the State of Georgia was more blue in the 2004 election. And, as I said, Stone Mountain itself was more than 75% Kerry - that's from the Secretary of State precinct returns.
Hall county did go GOP. Gainesville was the least red area in the country. And getting more blue with every baby born there.<<
Then I am wrong and stand corrected about Stone Mountain. Come to think of it, didn't they just elect a black mayor? In Atlanta that generally equates with Democrat. Thanks for the info.
BTW , do you have a better map for election results in Georgia? That one is kind of fuzzy by the time you blow it up.
I voted for Pat Buchanan in 2000.
Of course, I meant to vote for Al Gore. Darned butterfly ballots!!
Am I missing somethign? Haven't these people been voted OUT Of committee and isn't that what Byrd says that they need to have to get to the floor?
Byrd just mentioned that they are heading for a 'showdown'.
Frist interrupts and says they are not heading for a 'showdown
No. Sen. Frist just clarified that HE did not say they were headed for a showdown. (actually more encouraging, Reid had said they are headed for a showdown.
And Frist just ripped Bird again.
actually, it's a DNF..Do Not Filabuster..Frist is really, really pissed..it's coming next week..
Nope. We're all watching Sheets get schooled.
Hagel is voting YES.
But, now Boxer is on...perhaps the WORST and most annoying Senator!
Turn on Rush right now. Starr denies what they ran!
ACK!
Babs alert!
Rush says that Ken Starr was misquoted on the Nuke option. He apparently was talking about something else.
Says it was purposely misrepresented. When Starr said "it was a radical departure from our history" he wasn't talking about the nuke option he was railing against the practice of invoking judicial philosophy as a basis of acceptance of nominees.
Rush says this is a gross attack against Starr, CBS purposely took his comment out of context. Rush says he should have realized that CBS would do this and in the future won't make that mistake again.
