I believe John Bolton would be fired is he worked for a company -Voinovich

I believe YOU would be fired if you worked for a company! Jerk!

[Dolphy]

They won't answer...20 rings and nobody is home.

He says Bolton would have been fired from any major corporation? Not any that I have worked for...Clinton would have been though.

[You Dirty Rats]

Lugar didn't know this was gonna happen?..He gacve him the lead off slot in the debate? WTF?

Let's all calm down. My bet is that Voinovich agreed to vote him out of committee in exchange for time to rant. As long as Bolton gets confirmed, let Georgie Porgie rant all he wants.

"I just spent 4 days with people from the State Department..... and they... Bolton is not the man... hes not the kind of guy we want representing us at the UN." -- Voinovich 5-12-05 @ 11:06 EST

If you do get through ask what Vonivich's vote in the committee is going to be...

[Mo1]

of things that shouldn't be

[Miss Marple]

It is NOT Voinovich's business how Bolton looks to allies. He is the man the President wants, and the President is in charge of foreign policy and is the head of the Republican party, to which I though Voinovich belonged.

If he screws this up, he needs to be kicked off the committee and put on the Restroom Maintenance Committee or something.

Also, I have another thought. Is Voinovich backed by anyone or any company that is pro-Cuba trade?

[Dad yer funny]

Lugar is giving him respect by looking at him , Lugar should be doing anything but looking at him!!

[Howlin]

Yes, it does; and now that Sonovich has made such a strong condemning statement, perhaps the Dems don't have to say a word.

Another GOPer will fold, I have no doubt.

[MamaLucci]

Voinovich must be dirty.......he is carrying the democrats water, big time.

[Soul Seeker]

My sound is jumping all over today. From what filters through McVoinovich is being his newfound Maverick self.

McVoinovich? You are nothing but a grandstanding opportunists that would cut off your constituents' wishes and the best interests of this country for praise in the NYT's. Ohio voters should remember this 6 years from this point.

Still waiting to see if at the end of the hot air he votes to pass him out of committee.

[Mo1]

Now he's quoting from a Peom by Scott

[MamaLucci]

Sending him to the floor for a vote.

[CAluvdubya]

Voinovich voting to move out of committee!

[OXENinFLA]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VONIVICH WILL VOTE HIM OUT OF COMMITTEE!

[FreedomNeocon]

Finally... voting out of comitte (with reservations)... he can be the pussy he is on the Floor.

[MadIvan]

I am watching this...Voinovich is a traitor.

Regards, Ivan
