a bit of FRiendly advice, if you avoid phrases like "neocon" you will reduce your chances of being called a TROLL enormously. Someone mentioned that is a dead giveaway, they were quite right - there are some talkingpoint phrases and "neocon" is one of them. Trolls don't know that.

[baseballmom]

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

Because he is a dyed in the wool, bottom feeding skunk liar, suck up to the lying 'rats and their bought and paid for media, RINO WEASEL. That's how.

FGS, I almost pitched a brick through the TV listening to Voino bitch. What a back stabbing SOB to go against HIS party's President.

And now, for what I think of Biden!!!! *&$&%#&%(*&*$%*&)(&(*&%^$(. OK, it's time for me to do MY penance.

[conservaDave]

I am so sick of the RINO's. I am really starting to believe that I would rather have democrats in the seats just so we don't have to suffer these deaths from a thousand cuts by these dispicable wimps! Maybe I need to take some meds or something.

[Freee-dame]

But what does it matter what Voinovich says if Bolton ends up getting confirmed in the Senate anyway?

One of the obstructionist goals of the 'Rats is to diminish every Republican in the eyes of the world, beginning with President Bush. After bashing someone, then having them win anyway, the "Rats and their comrades in the MSM will refer to the accusations for their entire tenure. It would never work without the liberal-loving press.

Fortunately for us, every time the left does another of ite over-the-top outrages a few more Democrats realize that their party has left them. I doubt that any conservatives join them over their underhanded, unfair behavior.

Bolton will be filibustered. This will set the stage for the Dems who want to suggest that the GOP will want to get rid of all filibusters, and some GOP idiots will suggest that we do just that, which will cause enough Republicans to vote against Frist when the vote comes up.

This is Biden's latest strawman

Yep .. they are afaid Bolton will reform the UN

The question is .. WHY?!?!?

What are the Dems trying to hide??

[roses of sharon]

My God, you read my mind, I have said this for years, the one thing good about 9/11 was that everyone was exposed, worldwide.

We now know who is with us, and who is with the Islamic cults, and are willing to use them in a proxy war against the US.

As the UN has done for decades against Israel.

[Howlin]

ROFLMAO...........you are so right!

[paul_fromatlanta]

>>>Biden is just cracking me up!!<<

Yeah, Biden sounds utterly confused today... I wonder if Voinovich's speech surprised him so much he doesn't know what to say.

[ken5050]

Don't blame Lugar..he has no choice but to sit there and take it..it's how the Senate works

[brydic1]

Not only is the ever confused Chaffee in doubt but remember we have McHagle to announce yet. I would not be surprised if he also attacks Bolten

[OXENinFLA]

WTF is Biden doing now talking about the reporters there??

[DoctorMichael]

Listening...............................

Wowers! Imagine being in the room and having to sit through the pompous pontificating of bloviating Biden!

What a jackass.

[tiredoflaundry]

The question is .. WHY?!?!? What are the Dems trying to hide??

I wonder the same thing.

[Soul Seeker]

Five hours of Hot air? I don't know if I can take it.

I could care less if the useless Senate thinks Bolton if worth a vote of confidence in committee. The only thing I want is an up or down vote with Bolton being confirmed for the U.N. Bolton will not be weakened by this stunt, they will will be as everyone knows it is only politics driving this.

And there WILL be payback for the McRINO's.

[Fudd Fan]

Those FBI files weren't lying around the clinton White House for nothing.....They will be mined for political advantage for years to come

Right! THAT is why we need a lot of new blood in both houses.

[Pukin Dog]

Nice try, but you give our side too much credit. With those kind of brains, Bolton would be out of the committee by now.

[Mo1]

Bolton will be filibustered.

I agree

But I think it will back fire on the Dems though

What are they trying to hide .. why are they so same afraid to have Bolton in the UN??

[Howlin]

I agree 100 percent.

He opened the door.

[txrangerette]

This is a troll. Do what you will. At no time have I attacked him personally, which he repeatedly accuses me of doing. He began by calling all of Bolton's supporters "neocons" and said Bush must be sorry he let the "neocons" talk him into Bolton. I found his signup date and posted it, May 7. I merely replied that he is the name caller, and that it was "neocon" Condi Rice who backed Bolton to President Bush. Now he attacks me or anyone by saying he is being attacked and not reasoned with. I have said all I will say to this TROLL.
