" Reid on the Senate floor..offering a "compromise"

How lame, brings up 3 Michigan low-level nominees from Clinton that couldn't get a majority vote in committee and so were dumped. What part of "majority rule" doesn't Harry Reid understand? Harry Reid (AD*-Nev). * "AD" refers to his party affiliation: "Anti-Democratic."

[Howlin]

And yet they STILL keep trying to "rule."

[processing please hold]

Kerry just asked how much time he had taken up my answer would be too much

That moron is the epitome of a moron.

[advance_copy]

Did we switch channels?

John Kerry was talking, so, um, yep.

I think that after the 2006 election..dems lose seats in both the House and Senate..the Dems will toss Reid and Pelosi overboard

Frist is up on CSPAN 2. He is REALLY REALLY REALLY agitated and is REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY getting ready to decide whether the might be ready to possibly do something to move the judicial nominations forward.

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

If they REALLY had influence, they wouldn't have to cheat.

Coleman is impressing me more and more!

[Soul Seeker]

I'm listening to Coleman, Frist and Rush. Talk about multi-listening. LOL

[Howlin]

I love this guy!

[Cyber Liberty]

Gotcha. FR's the greatest board in the world.

[maggief]

I had to step out ... sounds like I didn't miss much.

[Howlin]

*Sigh*

[snugs]

A real multitasker LOL

[Txsleuth]

Frist is angry---of course Frist sounding angry is like my regular talking pattern...LOL

Frist is yet again trying to explain that he is NOT breaking the Constitution wide open!!!

BTW, Kerry just called Bolton a liar (under oath) about a dozen times....

At least Bolton would know if he was in Cambodia or not!

[EQAndyBuzz]

I think so.

[Truth Table]

Yes. Elections have consequences...

Too funny.

I am reading with great interest the posts RE: filibusters. Seems that Frist knows he has the votes and more importantly, so does Dingy...

They're in trouble, and they know it. The only thing standing in their way, really, is conservatives. If enough people get up in arms over one or items, instead of focusing on all the good that's been done (and all the bad that could be done under a lib President/Senate), and sit home come election time...

I'm not listening to him. I prefer to get his comments filtered by FReepers.
