Bolton fails to get the 60 votes to invoke cloture. Dem filbuster is on.
There aren't any!!!!
Why not? They always get away with it.
Frist makes cooked linguine seem rigid by comparison.
"GOP as usual loses!!"
America lost big time today when Bush gave 50 mil to terrorist scumbags.
Because I'd much rather vote for someone who listens to my vote than someones who takes my vote and does what they want.
Kondrake mentioned the possibility that Bush might appoint Bolton during recess, keeping him in until 2006. Also, did y'all hear the scuttlebutt about that "compromise"? Seems the White House was concerned about Arlen Specter. Also, Specter left town just now, leaving the senate without enough attendees to vote.
Specter...how often have we complained about him? Yet they keep him.
I am not, not, not, not happy. The pubs are going to pay for this.
Israel lost too.
And yes, if you counted you're right.
WTF FRIST JUST VOTED NO
"I will be paying down my lifetime NRA membership til 2008...not a cent to the RNC"
Money well spent.
So, it doesn't matter whether the deal was for Judges or anything else ~ the point is the Dems lied about how they felt about obstructing Senate business and threatening the defense needs of the American people.
The Dems simply cannot be trusted.
56-42...........
Frist just voted NO!
GROW A SET !!!
and NUKE THESE DEMONKATS ALREADY
IF YOU EVER WANT ANYMORE CAMPAIGN DONATIONS!!!
Can he use the nuclear option for Bolton? What are his options?
Nuke 'em, Dano.
Bush needs to recess appoint Bolton, and a few judges.
That's the excuse the Dems will use......sort of like "it depends on what the definition of the word "is" is."
Enough is enough!
The Dems are back to their usual stonewalling here, too:
"Dems Won't Take Part in Medicaid Panel"

I believe Frist voted No in order to gain certain rights to call another vote.
You're right, but it has to play that way. One deficiency that the admin and the GOP has consistently had is getting their message out (an obstacle that the left almost never has).
That the agreement with the dems was worthless since it was based on their good will (a tough sell), is clear to most of us.
