Well said and isn't it great that with the explosion of the internet and surge in the interest in alternate (to the networks) news sources, what you have said is being spread far and wide?

[Mo1]

Yes!

[Liberty Valance]

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

LOL! If a dem were in the WH we'd be talking about Ramsey Clark or Whoopi Goldberg as the nominee for Amb. to the UN.

IMO, you have about a hald dozen to a dozen GOP Senators that want to control the Senate. they aren't the Majority but they are large enough to cause trouble given the Dems will not break ranks. It's a struggle between RINO's and Republicans, and so far the RINO's have been edging out a victory because the Republcans haven't fought back.

You see the Rockefellar Republicans never could gain power on their own. It was conservative Republicans that made the GOP a Majority. They resent that. They are attemping to seize power from within since they couldn't do it at the ballot box. In a way similiar to the Dems. The RINO's have to be defeated now to cement a conservative agenda as the future of the Party.

The Dems went through a simliar fight, and it resulted in the '60's moveon'org radical taking over the Party.

[lugsoul]

[TFine80]

He sounds a little slow.....

[Dad yer funny]

yeah , they think flipflopping has become interesting , something to aspire to , like the old Vaudeville doubletalkers

[af_vet_1981]

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

There are only 6-7 GOP Senators who require leashes.

[West Coast Conservative]

Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., told The Associated Press on Tuesday he reluctantly would vote for Bolton.

[OXENinFLA]

He sounds a little slow.....

Yeah, but he's warp speed compared to Suzanne Collins

[processing please hold]

You really asked them about the Cuba money going to Voinivich?

I most certainly did. I wanted them to know what questions we are asking out here in the hitherland. That we already have our suspicious about why they are so afraid of Bolton getting in. What were they trying to hide.

>>Wow. Since when did Byrd represent Atlanta?<<

If you look at the voting patterns, the only people in Atlanta that commute that far are in Republican (suberb) districts...

[Truth Table]

Chafee gives support. Wow.

[OXENinFLA]

Kerry up..........

[West Coast Conservative]

Flip-Flopper is up now!
