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
Not another Dime of mine goes to the Republican Party ever if Bolton gets rejected !
Biden blathers on for 15 minutes before even getting to the nomination...
Ignore him
I think so, too.
They're going for broke now.
Lugar always looks imo like he just got out of bed....puffy eyes, slack jaw, groggy talk....
A question, Ivan: Is it only the Opposition that sits on the back benches in the Commons, or is it only the shadow government reps and the Minsters of State who sit in front?
>>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.<<
What is the preferred term instead of neocon here? I am new...
Orrin Hatch on Tony Snow's show says he's disappointed and surprised at V. Thinks that any Pub or RAT would look at Bolton's accomplishments. Says's he's tough, has cantankerous personality but so do a lot of Senators.
Says even though Bolton disagreed with certain intel reports that is needed with our intel.
Says there will be a continued attempt to demean and demonize Bolton. Says Bolton is a great guy and exactly what is needed at the UN.
Biden is so obviously in love with the sound of his own voice.
Orrin Hatch just said on the Tony Snow show that Voinovich will vote for Bolton to get out of committee.
Just seeing how angry he is, can't be good for the demonRATs, actually it's made my day today.
Biden is nuts.
The key sentence:
Cuba is the theme that runs through the ordeal of John Bolton.
The pro-Fidel Democrat Senators and their staffers need to get their butts kicked straight off of Capitol Hill.
Let 'em go live in Havana.
I hope the WH pays back Voinovich by denying him his suggestions for appointments, pork, etc. There has to be some consequence for breaking party discipline in such a high profile Presidental appointment.
When you enter the chamber, the MPs for the ruling party sit on the benches on the left. All other MPs sit on the right. Ministers and shadow ministers sit on the front benches on either side.
Regards, Ivan
Frist had better not DARE! show up in Iowa and New Hampshire in 2008, because if he is stupid enough to campaign, he'll be lucky to get 100 votes.
