I'll never trust anything Colin Powell ever says again. He is a petty, back-stabbing, foggy-bottom loving RINO.

I haven't trusted Powell for years, he's an internationalist.

I think it is better to stay away from Massachusetts altogether. How about Allen/Coleman? Two senators though... I hate to lose senate seats, and senators don't win, although Allen is in a position to buck that trend with the governorship in his back pocket.

We'll just have to see how it goes. I certainly don't see many strong names positioning themselves. Frisk is incredibly weak, and if he thinks he's going to get any traction well... well I doubt he gets past the fund raising stage. Unless he rams these judges through. If he doesn't, it's over for him, so I would think he'd be a little more enthusiastic about the battle.

The way I remember it, Dems in general didn't object to Powell but Biden did, saying that he thought Powell was too isolationist... An almost funny objection in retrospect.

I didn't say they tried to block Powell .. just that they gave him a hard time

We all disagree about lots of things. No big deal! That's what we do - as long as we do it in a civil manner! We can usually tell the trolls from the people who just have a different opinion. The trolls are usually insulting and will only post one nasty thing and suddenly disappear! You will do fine!

I am really torn here. Rush is preempted on the radio today for a St. Louis Cardinal baseball game. Normally, that would be a good thing because I LOVE the Cardinals, but my husband has absconded the TV to watch the game which leaves me with only FR to get Rush's take on this and also the testimony. So PLEASE keep it coming....

"I hope it doesn't turn out that I can't disagree about the wisdom of a particular nominee and still stay here since I'm not going to be willing to lie to fit in."


Needless to say there will be times, on certain topics, when you absolutely cannot state anything remotely appearing to be anti, or pro, (which ever the case may be) be it facts, or opinions.

A thick skin and the knowledge that what you state, you believe to be the truth, will serve you well.

You sure as hell can't please everyone all the time. ;)

Allen making the great point that rather than focusing on
Bolton's alleged faults, they should be examining the UN's glaring flaws.

I had the same conversation with him the other day. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, he's still here days later. I think he is genuine

That's the key. If that person can still stick around and take the heat then he's a Freeper! LOL I still wear my suit now and then! Flamethrower

I don't think it is a much their desire "to make nice with the UN" and it is to block, delay, obstruct anything President Bush attempts to accomplish. Even the dems are smart enough to not by a ticket on the UN Titanic.

Rush mentions how the RATS are loving Powell now. Rush caling him "God Powell".. But says the RATS never mention what Condi says about Bolton.

My office firewall blocks Senator Byrd. Some sort of newfangled protection against Byrd Droppings that may contain Byrd Flu virus.
