I understand the dynamics, but am still mad at McCain and the others (not so much at Graham, and Dewine, though).

I must adimt, I do like the irony. I think for the deal to have been a plus for the donks, they had to stall Frist's judicial agenda and get some consessions from RINOS to "backdoor-torpedo" some of the juges. Frist is not going to let it happen, so it looks as if in the end he is going to use the deal to snooker the donks and RINOS. Graham and Dewine will nuke the donks if they fililbuster. I think that the rinos, MSM and media, DUmmies and KOSacks are just starting figuring this out. Filibustering bolton was a huge stratgeic mistake for the donks.

Get over it. We could never absolutely count on McCain, or the Maine Sisters, or Chafee. The worst scenario imaginable was a loss on the nuclear vote.

The other thing that many were whining about when the deal went down was that there was a secret agreement to torpedo one of the "extreme 3". That has now been proved false.

Maybe the way we feel is that without the RINOs particularly McCain the Dims would not have had the nerve to try these filibuters in the first place and these judges would have been confirmed years ago.

Filibustering Bolton is what saw me going to the liquor store SPECIFICALLY to get some Cold Duck to sip with my popcorn.

They could not pick a more stupid "filibuster" to perform.
