Good Monday morning, fellow political junkies. Trust everyone had a good weekend. The Senate convenes at 2:PM this afternoon, still in Executive session, to consider the nomination of Tom Griffith to the DC circuit. Four hours of debate are schedued, and I believe Frist will ask for a vote at 6P unless the Dems object. Reid said that Leahy has some reservations about the nominee...Oh, Joy..(/sarcasm) What I'd like to do in today's thread, is discuss your thoughts about the last few weeks in the Senate, and what you think the future might hold.
Well great I have 45 minutes to run to the store! I hope I don't miss Allen again!
Yeesh, checking back on this thread to find it as boring as it was earlier, LOL! FReepers not included in that assessment of course.
Maybe this evening they will let Sheets out!
This might be good at least there might be some dramatic whining from Donks!
I just saw Ralph Nees, People for the American Way on Fox News for the first time. Unbelievable! He Looks like Lucifer.
C'mon now, was it necessary to demonize Lucifer like that. :)
Would the RATs be that stupid, given Landrieu is still talking about the lynching bill? I think NOT! lol
We were spoiled with the goings-on the week before the Memorial Day holiday, weren't we?!
I have been saying all along that the fact that he is famous, and is rich, and being tried in California, meant certain acquittal---I also added the black part,
but, a lot of freepers disputed whether he really is "black" ...LOL
We know he is a pervert---that will never ever get tried again...
I was thinking driving home, that the boy that got the big bucks 10 years ago, wouldn't testify...and I bet I know why now,---
It would be too painful to bare your personal hell for the world to hear, only to find out that the perpetrator will have a "get out of jail free" card...
I am watching the Senate now...couldn't stomach one more story about MJ..I didn't watch them before, why would I start now??
George Allen I am sponsoring this because it is the right thing to do!
Heck yeah! But now Allen is up!
FYI..the voice vote in the Senate is designed to spare DSheets from having to record a vote..don't know why the Pubbies agreed to that..
Allen is speaking Presidentially! In My Not So Humble Opinion!
Good observation! Either way though Byrd is screwed, if he votes for it, we laugh at him, if he votes against he is in trouble at home, so for once, I am willing to give them one!
Ah-jeez louise...you know if it was the other way around, the dems would force a roll call vote, just so the other guy would be embarrassed..
Of course, after the little kissy session among the Gang of 14, including Byrd, who is the king of the filibuster, I am sure he would vote yes, and get a standing ovation from the rest of the senate..
I hate politicians...sorry, bad mood...
Perhaps I am willing to over look it because it is making my man look good. Wearing my Evil Karl Rove hat!
GACK---Kerry up speaking!!!!
He can't even talk...what a maroon!!!
Talking to myself I guess! LOL but the Horseface is up!
Do they still make Ludes?
Kerry has hoarded them all!!!!
