Has anyone seen Trent Lott, Orin Hatch or Bob Dole in the same room at the same time? I still say they are the same person, with different masks. Now I'm beginning to think of Frisky Fritter the same way.

Could we all pitch in and buy one spine for them? Perhaps they could take turns.

Does this mean the next time that Hatch appears on Meet the Press with Biden, Schumer, Kennedy, etc, that they won't be holding hands and gazing lovingly into each others' eyes?

Save the words. We're interested in deeds.

It's not one of these freepers that calls Hatch or Lott a RHINO. They are good men.
The GOP is acting like a minority, not cause of these men, but because of John McCain.

Who would have ever dreamed that it was possible for a male Republican Senator to have such teenie weenie testicals , that by comparison, Orrin Hatch's pair borders on bowling ball dimensions?

Not for the size spine they'd need. True.

Yeah right. Tell me another one. This one is approaching the realm of "three biggest lies", the first one of which is "The check is in the mail."

I sent TWO postage paid envelopes back to the Republicans this weekend. One to the RNC and the other to the Republican Senatorial Committee. No money inside, just a lot of writing about how disgusted I am with the RINOs in the Senate.

I'm a pretty good giver, too.

Oh, don't worry, DU Lurkers--I'm still going to GIVE, but instead of giving to the party (until I'm satisfied with their progress), I'll give to individual candidates to make sure you socialist anti-capitalist liberal infanticide enthusiasts STILL LOSE! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! You can't stop me from funding conservative Republicans! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Unless Frist can peel away a few of those 7 idiots I don't see it happening. McCaine is going to keep all of them together. so they can avoid looking like idiots......Or as McCaine says'' We have to preserve the great traditions of the senate'', and Byrd'' We have saved our Republic''............Excuse me while I go puke!

Of course the nuclear option is still on the table. McCain and the 6 gollums stole the detonator so it couldn't be used.

I think the Democrats owe us a filibuster debt now, and should be forced to STFU for the rest of the year.

If McCain had been in the Senate 150 years ago the Mason/Dixon
Line would probably also be the Mexican Border.

There have been a lot of threads since Monday, bemoaning the RINO 7, that voted themselves into the Centrist Coaltion, and how we go about getting them out of the Senate...

I know one thread was dedicated to finding a replacement for Mike DeWeenie...and a lot of posters were suggesting John Kasich...

Well, I just finished seeing an interview ole John did with a democrat pundit re: Hillary---and John was WAY, WAY complementary about Mrs. Bubba...in fact he just said that she has "proved" to be much more moderate than people thought she would be when she was elected....

Folks in Ohio---please, find someone other than John Kasich, I beg of you!!!!

On May 23, 2005, a group of 14 senators, seven Democrats and seven Republicans, issued a “Memorandum of Understanding on Judicial Nominations.”

Since when does a group gather in a room and tell Frist what to do? Frist must be impotent to allow the tail to wag the dog.

How about sending "back braces" for the R Senators? They could be labeled:
"Wear this to ensure that you neither bend over backwards, nor bend over to grab your ankles. Wear this garment while voting for cloture, judicial nominees, or UN ambassadors".

BTW, where is it in either the constitution or the "214 years of senate tradition" whereby 14 nitwits are allowed to side-step the senate leadership and and declare mutiny?
