Lugar has the first hour..he siad he would speak..make the record, then give about 30 minutes to Voinovich..I'm pretty sure that Lugar THIS TIME knows what George will say..

I hope that Lugar knows where all his republicans stand this time. No surprises!

[prairiebreeze]

Yes they are planning to filibuster Bolton on the senate floor. Which makes today's spectacle even more redundant.

Our tax dollars are paying for this.

[ken5050]

Nope..just the opposite..the Dems will throw a temper tantrum..what they are in effect doing is giving Bolton free rein to say/do ANYTHING at the UN..he's taken there best shots..he's bullet-proof now..

I know Lugar isn't the most electric speaker, but he is batting down everyone of the charges that the dems have thrown out so far....

But, what do you want to bet that the dems will act like he hasn't said ONE word and will bring all of these discounted rumors as FACT.

[Soul Seeker]

Thanks for the thread! I'll have to catch it online.

But first, going to get some popcorn and juice before settling in. be back in a few. :-)

They have nothing else to talk about for 2 1/2 hours. Plus, the dems always ignore facts over fiction.

[prairiebreeze]

Thanks for posting Lugar's statement on the plaigarising and lying Miss Melody.

[Howlin]

I hope this goes well.

OMG.....remember that we all have one big collective stroke? I can't take another day like that!

[ken5050]

[Miss Marple]

[JRochelle]

Sen. Lugar rocks!
He threw her back down the hole she crawled out of!

[eyespysomething]

Boxer is confuse..............there's a shocker...

LOL. I found this quote from Boxer this morning:

Those who survived the San Francisco earthquake said, "Thank God, I'm still alive." But, of course, those who died, their lives will never be the same again. -- Sen. Barbara Boxer, (D, Calif.)

I think FReepers may need to negotiate group rates on anger management classes before this is all over.

They laughed at all the Kerryites running to therapy couches after the Nov election. In '08 if Hillary wins, they will be chasing the Kerryites off those couches so they can use them. lol.

[Dad yer funny]

Pryor , I think
