That Novak article this morning was a real eye-opener.Indeed it was. Voinovich is being paid from somewhere, I really think so.

Actually, the President is probably wishing he had not let the neocons talk him into Bolton but there is no choice but to support him. I doubt they had to do much convincing. Bolton seems like just the kind of representative the President would name.
To: plain talk
I wonder why the chair lets Vonavavich speak so early? Why don't RINO's speak last?To steal Biden's thunder...but it surely didn't shut him up.

Well, we have always had government by blackmail, and by other means, but never to this extent.

It's OK, Ivan, we'll get the vote on the floor and Bolton will be confirmed. After that, same with the judges.
BTW, did you see Mark Steyn's analysis of your election? Positively brilliant!

Everybody PLEASE read this so you'll know what is going on about this nomination:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1401669/posts
Otto Reich said that Dodd's aid, Janice O'Connell, is hell bent on destroying Bolton and, in fact, anybody in government who oppposes THEIR, hers and Biden and Dodd's, view on normalizing relations with Cuba!
He also said that Dodd's and Biden's staff is the nastiest staff on the Hill and IS the one that leaks everything.

To: Howlin
Yeah, it is almost like one of the terrorists telling a captive that they like them before beheading them...
Biden is now accusing Lugar of making up the fact that the dems were looking for witnesses against Bolton....
So now, since Voinivich read all of Bidens talking points, he will use his time to smear everything that LUGAR said!!!
If I was Lugar I'd smack him!

"Biden was gonna cry "partisanship" if Vobobitch supprted Bolton. Now hes flustered as what to say."
Exactly. Now if Voinivich votes him out of committee, by voting against it, the RATS look like obstructionists. This is going to turn a few RATS heads and IMHO I think the vote will be 12-6. Biden and Dodd will vote alongside the Republicans on this.

But what does it matter what Voinovich says if Bolton ends up getting confirmed in the Senate anyway?
I mean, if Voinovich is getting blackmailed, as you suggest, that explains why he is doing what he is doing.
But what is the blackmailer getting out of this if Bolton ends up being our UN Representative anyway?
To: Pukin Dog
I was also told that we will see some surprising defections when it comes to the Nuclear option. If this person is correct, then we can give up right now. You've have got to be kidding me??
Who is behind this?
