The GOP has some real young tigers in the Senate..the Dems have nada..

Kerry accused Bolton of lying, "Is that the kind of person we want at the UN," asked Effin'.

Kerry has to be a true multiple personality. He doesn't seem to remember his entire presidential campaign was based on the lie that he was a war hero.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A TROLL SUPPORTER???? GET LOST!"

Uhh, that would be you, and I believe I will stick around awhile. Ya know what they say, if you can't take the heat...

[processing please hold]

yeah , Kerry gesticulating , hope he doesn't poke an eye out

I wonder how he would speak if he didn't have anything to wave around? lol

[snugs]

Can he call Bolton a liar is it allowed?

[ken5050]

Coleman's doing a first rate job..

[Dad yer funny]

yeah , I'm over with Frist , for a minute

[maggief]

I'm proud of Coleman.

[ken5050]

yup..your Senator..ands a nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn..

[Txsleuth]

You know it---the dems just love putting out America's "dirty laundry" for the whole world to see. and Kerry most of all.. He would want the UN to run the US military!!!

Frist is trying to propose another way to solve problem, but his problem is he is talking to a wall (harry reid)!

[Howlin]

As you should be. We all should stand up and applaud him.

[ShowMeMom]

Cool! Coleman basically shot down Kerry, saying we HAD an election and you lost!

YEAH COLEMAN!!!

[ken5050]

Frist sounds like he wants to do open heart surgery on Searchlight WITHOUT anesthesia..

[smiley]

.....don't cha just LOVE these live threads!! Better than watch TV....just wish El Rushbo would chime in....:)

[arasina]

You make some good points, but I trust Pukin Dog's sources because he is a man of his word. If he says that's what's being said in DC, that's what's being said.

[Soul Seeker]

Indeed! LOL

Rush is currently talking about Galloway and the Frecnch/Chirac connection to the Oil for Food scandal.

Frist stating it's gotten so partisan one our of three or one out of four were denied up and down votes

Coleman-Dem claimed it was about policy to personality to etc... watch out for the rabbit's out of the hat trick. They have a lot of rabbits and hope people take their eye off the main goal. Coleman is funny but good at making the point. Could have spent the time reading comments from all he worked with instead. Bolton doesn't abuse power.

>>Apparently, you haven't been to Stone Mountain lately. Or Gainesville.

The idea of Pubbies living in Alpharetta driving to their jobs downtown is a nice stereotype, but barely scratches the surface of the reality of commuting patterns here.<<

I'm pretty sure Stone Mountain and Gainsville have both gone Republican in the last election... this isnt a very good map, and I had to blow it up but I think the Atlanta are is Red as soon as you get outside the city itself.
