"Same here....Have been hearing "next week" for weeks now.."
Yeah, and Zarquawi's been caught....again
This time I really really REALLY mean it. So watch out. I mean it.
Perhaps you should listen closer. Last month they said mid-May. Next week is mid-May.

I fear Frist may be playing the threat to get a compromise with the 'rats.
Reminds me of a story: President and Mrs. Cleveland are in bed. Mrs. Cleveland hears a noise and wakes up the President. She says "Grover,there are burglars in the house!!" A half-asleep Cleveland replies "no, my dear. In the Senate perhaps, but not the House."
Can Boxer put a "hold" on these nominations like she is doing to Bolton?
Not mine. Watch for a last minute deal that sends the "less contrversial" nominees to the floor, while the rest go home. The icing on the cake will be all the face time Reid will get for his "reaching out" and his "finding common ground" and his ability to "bridge the divide"....
Its almost as if the GOP is begging to become the minority again. They certainly deserve it.
How can she do that?
I was thinking the same thing when I saw Joe on TV having a press conference re: the base closing---now, Bush has concrete "terms" to dicuss with some of the Senators---
I also noticed that Olympia Snowe was VERY unhappy--considering the fact that she and Susan Collins rarely back Bush on important votes, should she be surprised?
I am being sorta facetious because I also saw the Gov. of Georgia, and we know that Chambliss is a stand-up Republican, so all of the "prospective" base closings aren't "political"....
Doubt in this case is reasonable as we have been let down time and time again. But I truly hope this is it.
Placing bets now. I put $50 they fold.
The grass roots are letting themselves be heard. There will be no last-minute compromise. And any Republican who votes against the rule change will be marked for a primary challenge. Period.
Well, it is past 3:30, have you heard anything yet?
I think that after the little display yesterday by Byrd and especially Reid's betrayal of Mr. Saad, I think that Frist has more impetus to do this than this time yesterday!
I agree. And keep in mind that the DEMs hold the trigger (nominally), not Frist. It takes an objection to the vote to start the parliamentary wheels turning.
Wouldn't it be ironic if a Republican objected to moving the vote?
yeah ,...they "aren't political" , the perfect cover , ah-h, I feel God's hand at work here , or Rove?? "yeah , Karl , go get 'em Tiger!!"
" Watch for a last minute deal that sends the "less contrversial" nominees to the floor, while the rest go home."
See post 69. But the deal they reach will include ALL nominees brought out of commtt. I find it convincing that the dems will be motivated to delay the judgement day till the SCOTUS nominees. But then, like someone posted, if the prez. moves one of these current nominees up whom have already been recently approved (God-willing) that will take a lot of the wind from their sails.
I do the same thing---if I see breaking news and am on a thread, I don't hesitate to post it---I think it is thoughtful to do that for other posters in case they are interested in the particular subject of the breaking news!!
So, I thank you--cuticle girl!!!!!
