He's just the little dealmaker these days, huh?
FRist needs to have a little chat with John and in no uncertain terms, set him straight.
Once again McCain sides with the Dims. I almost can't stand to hear his name anymore. A man I once admired and respected. This is sickening.
he can't, Frist can't do anything to compel McCain or any of the others in any way.
Judas McCain again trying to give the Democrats everything they want.
Carrying the water as usual for the Democrats, this admission by the NYT that the move not only "quacks like a filibuster" but is one, comes toward the bottom of the piece and is carefully couched.
I can't believe that Frist is running for President.
While I will say at least McCain supports Bolton for a vote, I have just about had enough of that POS urging deals like this.
Sit in your corner and shut the heck up.
Now , mind you, I would never 'compel', much less threaten him, just remind him who was selected as the Majority Leader, for what it would be worth, futile exercise or otherwise..
Oops, that's right , he's a maverick and proud of it.
Toss him out of the party, then.
Showboat McCain once again sets sail...
"Once again McCain sides with the Dims."
He really believe this filibuster is about the documents the Dems want? They've pulled the same stunt two or three times to delay.
That should kill this suggestion. The White House is crazy if they don't make this suggest a dead letter just because of its source. They have to do that to take back control.
The Dems agreed to some restraint on judicial appointments--not anything else.
They and the MSM have screamed and screamed about the supposed "outing" of Valerie Plame, when EVERYONE knew about her and her husband had blabbed ( OUTED !) her anyway. The names of COVERT agents, in the highly SECRET docs the damned Dems and Voiny are demanding to see,have less than nothing at all to do with their votes on Bolton. And dollars to donuts, they'd OUT the for REAL covert/in DEEP COVER agents. WHY? Because they are pro-Castro and want relations with Castro and Cuba to be put back 40+ years.
No he can't compel them, but doesn't the majority leader get to dole out a lot of perks, including committee assignments? How about stripping some of these prima donnas some of the more desirable perks?
Oh yes he can.
He isn't..............yet.
That is jiust what they should, toss him out. and do it next week.
Another "compromise"...gee, Senator, didn't you just do that? It worked less than 48 hours. Only 3 out of 7 Dems voted for cloture.
