NOT ONE of these elected "senators" could operate in the private sector. They don't have the work ethic for it for one thing.

[Ron in Acreage]

Will vote him out of committee but NO on the senate floor.

[West Coast Conservative]

HE'S STILL A GODDAMN RINO BASTARD!!

[tiredoflaundry]

It's a CYA move on his part

[Howlin]

The Dems seem to be whispering and doing something.

I wonder if Sonovich will speak against Bolton on the floor of the Senate?

[MamaLucci]

Somebody, get the hook!

[You Dirty Rats]

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.

Best endorsement of Bolton yet!

I'll bet Voinovich never spoke to Condi (or DeLeeza, for that matter).

[MadIvan]

Get the tar and the feathers. Voinovich deserves no less.

That's all we needed to hear.

Bolton's got the vote in the Senate.

[Tree of Liberty]

It is NOT Voinovich's business how Bolton looks to allies.

It's telling that this is a concern of the State Department (although, I suspect most of us know of their leftist predilections already).

[BCrago66]

The squish is going to vote him out of committee and then vote against him on the floor. That's all we need from this loser. Nobody cares about his opinion, and he has zero moral clout to influence the vote of other Senators.

[Howlin]

How can he like him and think he's a DECENT man and say all those things he just said about him?????????

[plain talk]

Why are these RINOs even on any committees? Probable answer - throw em a bone so they fall in linet. Problem is - nothing appeases em.

[processing please hold]

Will do.

[OXENinFLA]

No argument there...

[Mo1]

He is confusing the hell out of me

first he says Bolton shouldn't get the job and doesn't think he should be voted out of committee

Now he's saying he will

WTH?!?!?!?

Oh and now he says he likes Bolton .. spent a WHOLE 2 HOURS WITH HIM ..

[MadIvan]

The bloody Senate Republicans...the most limp wristed group of politicians one could ever see.

Regards, Ivan

[MamaLucci]

Biden's comment says it all...............

[Carolinamom]

Trashing Bolton but sending him up for a floor vote......who's a "suck-up" to BOTH sides? One guess.
