Now Dodd is claiming he would feel the same about Bolton if a Democrat was in the W.H. Anyone here believe that?

I know what you are saying about the Pubbies backstabbing these days---

Yesterday on the senate floor, there were 2-3 senators critisizing each other about their bills and amendments--they were REpublicans calling each other names....I bet the dems were just sitting back and counting RINO votes against the nuclear option...

THE GOP wing of the senate is falling apart or being torn apart in a tug-o-war!

It is so fitting that the Dim Party is represented by the symbol of a jackass.

would give a $500 tax credit to people that have to commute over 250 miles a week to go to work!!!!

Wow, let's see now, I drive 10 miles to work and 10 miles home. But wait, I have to go to the grocery store, the family needs food, so that should count. My family likes "special food" so I have to go to a special store. 80 miles away. (am I getting to 250 miles yet?) Oh yeah, I have to go to this special store twice a week because my family is allergic to food that is not really, really fresh. /s

Reading is Fundamental

George Voinovich asserted that Bolton would have been fired from his job if he had worked in the private sector. Thing is, Bolton did previously work in the private sector. It was when he was hired as a lawyer that the controversy surrounding Melody Townsel emerged.

But Voinovich says even though he missed the first two Bolton committee hearings he’s read “all the papers.” So, surely he knows this. Right?

Dodd "It's not going to be a short debate on the floor, it's going to go on"

Setting up for a filibuster?

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.

This whole display is disheartening and downright disgusting. Instead of 'giving up', we should use some kind of 'nuclear option' on these slimy politicians. Is there one, other than a revolution?

Now he (DODD)) is on the Intelligence failings about ?WMD's and the failed decision to go to war in Iraq!

Bush is bad for believing the Intel about WMD.

Bolton is bad for not believing the Intel about WMD.

lol.

[The Dems have a quandry, but they are flipflopping the issue in true Kerry style.]
