He's ill-suited for his job and he knows it. It's restrictive for a frothing-at-the-mouth socialist like he, plus he has very little real power.
Well, that's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.
Yeeeeeowwwwwwwwwwwwwww-uh.

Yes the pressure to vote on the so-called nuclear option is what has given us the three judges in the last week. Contrast that to what Lott did as leader and what Frist did as leader, early. Back then, RINO's were never outed because behind-the-scenes Whip counts were always the final word.
This is not the case with Frists 2005 strategy. RINO's nolonger having the luxury of the anonymous Whip count being the final vote. RINO's like Voinovitch, Graham and DeWine have paid the price.
We now have three good judges and the so-called nuclear threat remains. Let's get some more judges.
If this is accurate about the Pubbies in the Gang of 12, I'll be first to step up and apologize for my anger at our guys. I sure was convinced that they'd bailed!
I like winning. I'd rather win ugly than lose with dignity.

I think my kids have a chance to see their FICA go somewhere besides a rathole.
Who gives a crap about Bush's meager pet SS project? i sure don't. It has failed, and his 2nd term is a real disappointment thus far. But Judges represent our children's future America. And now Bush can freely name either of these three to the SCOTUS with no possiblity of fillibuster (The RATs could never defend it given their past agreement)
Judges represent the childrens future, but the SS plan has nothing to do with our childrens future. Your not making sense.
That's an interesting theory. I hadn't considered that possibility.
Well .. I believe he's ill-suited for the job .. because if you measure him against the great job Ken Mehlman is doing - there's just no comparison.
But .. I agree that Dean would probably rather have the freedom to really say what he wants. I'm wondering if he thought nobody would be paying attention to him and he could get away with this awful junk language ..?? I guess we'll see what the dems are going to do.
The dems are either sitting on their money because of Dean's comments, or they are sitting on their money because Hillary ask them to.
could very well be... much stranger things do happen!
I think we need to drop the saying "going postal" in favor of "going Dean."
.
You can say the same about this post. The Democrats are controlled by the Clintons and those crooks don't do anything without a plan. Dean is a loony on purpose. That is his job. Meanwhile, both Bill and Hillary are being amazingly reasonable on many issues, moving to the right as some say. The contrast between them, Dean and the rabid Senate Dems is being created to make Hillary look oh so calm and middle of the road as we lead up to 2008. Hillary, Prez - Bill, Sec. General.
Dean is supposedly raising money for the party but behind the scenes Hillary is sucking up all the big bucks, leaving none for her challengers. This is supposedly for her 2006 Senate bid but she is getting too much for a race she should win going away. She is cleaning the streets of all available funds and doing it quietly.
Nice try, Fred. Unh-unh. The three that are going to vote for the "option" just started learning what the price would be and have started hinting they were doing it for the prez all along. I like the spin, but I don't believe it.
Bingo. This article strikes me as "high spin"/damage control.
From square one, the renegade Repubs should have been clearly told what the price would be for their lack of loyalty.
The fact that Frist has been unable to "herd the cats" here is indicative of his lack of true leadership skills and lack of loyalty throughout the caucus.
There should be - and must be - a price to those who refuse to get back in the boat. And it must be excessive and all encompassing. Take away committee chairmanships. Take away national funding from the RNC. Do everything but kick them out of the party. But make it clear that those who don't support the President's agenda are not on the team.
THEN, we may just get a few things done. Otherwise, 3 whole judges is NOTHING to get excited about - unless it's 3 SCOTUS slots.
Heck, W, why stop there -- why don't you just make anyone who walks across the border an instant citizen?
I wish Fred Barnes would take a shower and leave the weakly standard. Let little billie write all the articles, then he could devote a whole issue to john mcpain (media) Az his favorite pubbie.
I don't get how having it's a big deal to pass judges when you have majorities in congress and the president in the same party.
Is this some big deal? Shouldn't it just be expected?
