Hannity Radio Show | 5/24/05 | Libloather

Frist's first interview since the musshy middle announced their deal. As far actual news goes - Rush called Frist's office and at this point all judges will get a vote.

[LibSnubber]

One can on hope, but my patience with these opportunistic politicians is growing oh so thin. Last time I checked, we were still in the majority and they had better start acting like it NOW. I don't remember the last time I was so disgusted... Oh wait, I do remember. I was a democrat trying to not explain to my youngest what all the cigar jokes were about.

[AuH2ORepublican]

"ALL Judges? Saad included?

At this point, it sounds like - YES!"

---

The agreement specifically states that the parties did not promise to vote for cloture on Saad's or Myers' nominations. Those two judges got thrown overboard, regardless of how Graham tries to spin it.

[Stellar Dendrite]

I think he is just playing dumb. No one is that naive, especially someone who deals with these socialist scumbags everyday.

[Stellar Dendrite]

Hear, Hear!! He has given McAsshat so many softball interviews.

I'll bet McAsshat is too scared to face Sean now.

[DesScorp]

" There is not a single person on this planet who can control McLame."

That's true. But he could have laid the hammer down on the others, specifically Graham, Dewine, and Warner. His job is to be majority leader. He just allowed a mutiny to happen. He's lost all moral support as a leader.

This is not a minor matter. This is one of those issues where you tell the troops "It's discipline time. Line up united, or suffer the consequences". Frist apparently can't do that.

We need a Tom Delay in the Senate.

[af_vet_1981]

First, I don't believe him. Second, why not pull the trigger now rather than wait until we have an impasse?

Because even with Traitor Graham, Frist only had 49 votes ...

Traitors Chafee, McCain, Snowe, Collins, Warner, and DeWine ...

[mware]

Catch that thread on Frist and MSNBC. Frist telling them he was not party to the compromise.

[Libloather]

The agreement specifically states that the parties did not promise to vote for cloture on Saad's or Myers' nominations. Those two judges got thrown overboard, regardless of how Graham tries to spin it.

Frist: "Constitutional option is still alive and on the table".

The so-called agreement maybe non-Contitutional. Hold on tight.

[af_vet_1981]

None of the gang of seven are part of the GOP leadership in the Senate

Why does Warner chair the Armed Services Committee ?

[af_vet_1981]

"""Over in Iraq, we have soldiers dying and others being wounded, and all of them are subject to being shot at. They didn't have to volunteer to join the military. And I didn't have to change my vote to support this filibuster plan. But I did it for the good of the country."""

He could switch places with one of these soldiers. He could be dying, wounded, or shot at in Iraq and one of those fine officers or enlisted could provide faithful service in the Senate.

[Dolphy]

I didn't get any sense of Graham portraying himself as courageous while he was on the radio with Hannity. Did anyone else? His duplicity is breathtaking...he plays us all for fools that will come around and forget this day.

The only way I can make Graham pay is to stop supporting the RNC, which I officially did last night when I wrote and asked them to remove me from their phone and mailing lists. I will support individual candidates, across the country and until the RNC allows that option, they will see no more money or time from me. Graham and McCain have made a huge mistake, they don't know how they got they got to be in the majority and they think they can benefit from the Bush inspired grassroots organization of 2004. They couldn't be more wrong.

Bork on now.

Bork: "Seven Republicans who just threw the President and Bill Frist over the side." Calls it "disastrous".

[Stellar Dendrite]

"Hello Frist ... you were undercut"

He knows that, he just wont say it. He needs a spine transplant.

[DesScorp]

"Why does Warner chair the Armed Services Committee ?"

If Frist had any cajones, Warner WOULDN'T be chairing that comittee after yesterday.

[expatpat]

The problem with real filibusters is that the 'rats only have to have one guy speaking, but the GOP needs most of their guys there, to maintain a quorum.

[Libloather]

Judge Bork is against the constitutional option.

Doesn't sound like it. Judge Bork even mentions changing the Senate rules IS Constitutional. Pretty neat...

[Stellar Dendrite]

I think the more likely scenario is Clinton/McAsshat '08

[Dolphy]

Traitors Chafee, McCain, Snowe, Collins, Warner, and DeWine ...

Actually, Chafee, Snowe and Collins probably displayed the most integrity in representing their constituents. McCain, DeWine and Graham are in a category all their own.

[af_vet_1981]

Anybody can keep their finger on the button,

A General should not spend the blood of his men for nothing. He needs a strategy that allows him to win. It sounds like Frist did not really have the votes (yet). He was betrayed when Traitor McCain seduced the other RINOs to defect. Frist needs to pick up Graham, Warner, and DeWine and force out at least one of the RINOs in a very poignant lesson of the cost of treason.

I not only told the nice person from the RNC that they could consider all of my past donations as trash as I now do. Never, ever will I donate to any national RNC that must give money to all campaigns.

I have told the same to the Senate Campaign fundraiser as well as the House Campaign. I also told her that I would give everything that I have given in the past and double it to groups who vow to take out the Judas 7.
