[snugs]

Probably the best way

[Howlin]

OMG.......this is astouding. Absolute power corrupts.

[Mo1]

HUH??

what are you talking about

[ken5050]

To bring a bunch of judges to the floor for a vote..Mitch or Frist will have to respond..

[processing please hold]

Thank god for this thread. I'm in a cubie at work and I can't listen to CSpan in my cubie. Heard Kerry is up and he has a plane umm I mean plan! ;-)

I second that. Listening to the dims and the dim wannabes(rinos) turns my stomach.

[Txsleuth]

This is the way his whole campaign went last year---he rambled but never said anything!!!

Harry Reid is offering to bring 3 judges to floor for 6 hours of debate---I haven't heard of any of them.

He said that NOW we will see if the Republicans want to confirm judges or just fight and change senate history....

Now he is talking about McCarthyism and abuse of power...power tends to corrupt and the fact that the REp. have majority in House and Senate and Presidency, that power is corrupting....

[Howlin]

Don't forget that a lot of the staff at the UN worked for Kerry's election.

[Coop]

(My plan is to have [Kerry] join algore.)

Goodness! Talk about narcolepsy!

The NY media, Hollywood, and colleges, which are DNC political organizations, still have enormous power to destroy reputations, lives, livelihoods, effect policies and voters.

As evidenced by the Dems behavior after this election, they would not be making these political moves without the support and defense of the MSM.

And as evidenced by the behavior of the Republicans in DC, they are still more afraid of the NYT, than their own constituents.

Nothing will change until that mindset changes.

I had to listen to this guy WAY TOO MUCH last year. I can't stand listening to him any more.

Let's count how many times he says "credibility".

Now he is accusing someone of having a bad memory? "Seared in my mind."

[Howlin]

Wasn't that unbelieveable??

[Soul Seeker]

I thought those Justices were Extremists? Now they are acceptable for debate?

Frist is up!

[Howlin]

Frist is up.

[ken5050]

Frist now responding to Reid..

[snugs]

Indeed I am sure he is including himself in the we IMHO this Brit does not believe that Kerry speaks for the US

[Carolinamom]

Can Reid, the Minority leader, decide what will come up on the senate floor? I thought Frist had that responsibility.

[lugsoul]

The Adminstration has worked very hard to avoid using the UN in approaching either NK or Iran. The idea that having 'no representation at the UN' is somehow detrimental to our efforts with those countries implies that we should be approaching them through the UN. We are not.

[Cyber Liberty]

Did we switch channels?

[af_vet_1981]

While North Korea & Iran are trying to get nukes We have NO REPRESENTATION at the UN becuase the Dems are BLOCKING IT!

Win/Win WH Response:

Withhold all UN funding until a UN Ambassador is confirmed by the Senate.

Continue to nominate John Bolton until he is confirmed or the UN goes out of business.
