C-span
Posted on 05/16/2005 9:54:06 AM PDT by ken5050
OK, folks..let's se what going to happen today as we move closer to the showdown in the Senate. Live, at 1 PM EST on C-span 2, "Searchlight" Reid is holding a presser to discuss judicial nomination. The Senate then convenes at 2PM, and as Majority Leader, Frist will make the opening statement. Then Reid will speak. Frist as pissed at Reid last week..for announcing a possible compromise on the Senate floor without FIRST telling him of it..and Frist has yet to speak about Reid's comments about FBI files. Should be fireworks..
TOPICS: Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: 109th; filibuster; reid; ussenate

Reid just said that six Republicans came up to him today and said we 'know the Dems are right' but have to vote with their party!
Reid just admitted it. HE DOESN'T HAVE THE VOTES!

Frist spoke first..talked about his trip to Africa..said nothing about judges..Reid has basically said that Frist doesn't represent his own caucus..Frist HAS to come back, NOW, and HARD...BTW..where's Sheets?

I'm sorry folks, but this is why we have elections. And if the Dems get the majority, we can't filibuster their people either. THat's the way the Constitution was designed, and it's bigger than ANY of these people.

He looks almost 'Daschle-ish', he's so crushed!
They are finished folks. Reid is reciting his political obituary now.

I swear, I would leave any party that had a guy like this for its leader, minority or not.
He's losing so he's going to trash everybody.

where's Sheets? He's still probably running around in the senate hall screaming "where's my adversary"!

To: onyx
remember...so much of this is pandering to the people who fund the Democratic party...I'm sure the DUmmies aren't sure that Reid "really tried hard". He knew he was cooked from day one. The really sweet icing on the cake would be to add more Republican seats to the Senate in 2006...

My husband says Frist should caucus right now and see who those six are and if they will admit they talking with Reid.

Reid is such an f'n idiot. Propriety forbids me from typing what I really want to call him.That sorta gives away your opinion of him. We can fill in the blanks to what you can't type. :-)
