I was just thinking he seemed somewhat, halfway, kinda sober. Color me surprised.

Sure. I don't know if you are a praying person, but, yes, listen to the debate and PRAY. Pray Leader Frist will have courage and strength to stand firm. I tell you, he's doing very well.

They should do that.

Why is it that the Republicans never use any dramatic visual, etc. They always take the low road and let the Democrats pound away, always letting the RATs win the publicity war and get the sound bites on national news.

The Republicans need to start a little drama of their own and show like they have some fighting spirit in them, and grab their share of soundbites.

A large sign like that would neutralize every arguement the RATs could come up with.

Excellent! A Rat senator tried to interrupt, Frist wouldn't yield, and Brownback backed him up. I am beginning to think they are ready for all the tricks!

It's already started. The dems are going to try to interrupt by asking if Frist will yield for a question.

You're theory that Coleman was taken by surprise by Galloway's performance seems ill-founded to me.

In fact, he appeared supremely prepared for the blowhard.

Coleman did not invite Galloway, he granted him his request to appear and he made sure that before he got the mike that a panel of investigators laid out the case.

What's the impact of NO committee meetings..IMHO, it shows the Dems are petty.

That would be a good idea. My Senators are cantwell and Murry. Lost causes so I'm concentrating on Senators from other states. In this age politics is no longer reserved only for within state. I can contribute outside of state, and will.

Frist-We didn't do our job in the last Congress. Disgraceful nominees not confirmed.

Frist is laying it down!

I'm so damn curious as to why Hillary has been silent especially if she (thinks) she is going to run for Prez.
