A little birdie says Frist traded Stem Cells for Specter's support for expedited Roberts hearings.

[Pukin Dog]

I've got nothing more to add, but the 'birdie' has not steered me wrong yet. I post what I was told for discussions sake, if the Mods dont want it, they know what to do with it.

[Txsleuth]

Orrin Hatch on Fox News right now...and he just said that Pres. Bush believes in life, so why would he want to deny research that would help scientists find cures for diseases that LIVE people have???

What a stupid question!

[Pukin Dog]

He also said that Specter is about to hold a Press Conference. I wonder what the subject will be........

[Pukin Dog]

Federal money for medical research is the same as money laundering for campaign donations.

[My2Cents]

Other than the infantile tantrum of a filibuster, why is it the Dems get a say in when a final vote might be taken.

[CedarDave]

Lots going on for a Congressional session that just recessed for more than a month.

[epow]

Frist is running for President.

Fogettaboutit Senator, turncoats don't get to be president if we know what they are beforehand. I don't discount the rumor that Frist made a deal with Specter. Anything Specter touches seems to turn to crap, including other Senators.

[kingu]

Thought it was pretty rare.

*sigh* I know I'm pipe dreaming about Fred Thompson, but I keep hoping.

[mewzilla]

Nuthin' like making a deal with the Devil.

Note to the good doc: Some things are worth doing the hard way.

[NormsRevenge]

fyi --- Orrin Hatch was just on on Fox News / Special Report w/Brit Hume questioning advice the President received re: embryonic stem cell research.

[newsgatherer]

wasn't kennedy a house member not a senate member?

[Soul Seeker]

Really? Well apparently the hearings fell through. So if this is true it appears they screwed him as he screwed us.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Does it really matter if the embryos aren't created for research, but just salvaged for research?

[kcvl]

Sacrificed his career, eh?

Especially if he expects to run for President. I don't know who advised him to follow this idiotic path but he's finished his political career, IMO. I have never liked the guy in the first place. He has always been a little strange to me.

When I saw all those old prunes, with their faces as smooth as a baby's butt, lined up today to talk about taking the life of the unborn to make THEIR LIVES BETTER makes me sick. Can you imagine taking the life of a child to make more hair plugs for Joe Biden or a better face lift for Boxer, Pelosi, Feinstein and Clinton?

EVERYTHING IS ALL ABOUT THEM!

Perfect examples of the "ME GENERATION".

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Pukin Dog,

Where are you getting all this inside information? Are you sleeping with Nancy Pelosi?

[newsgatherer]

good info, thanks.

[TommyDale]

Frist may as well write off the pro-life voters. Lots of luck winning a Presidential election without them.

Some vampires are more equal than others.

[SierraWasp]

Well, Hannity was playin Hatch callin Schmucky Schumer's questions of Roberts in 2003 "Dumbass Questions!"

Well, the worm has turned and this question is dumber that Schmucky's!!! What a retard!!!

[kcvl]

fyi --- Orrin Hatch was just on on Fox News / Special Report w/Brit Hume questioning advice the President received re: embryonic stem cell research.

So, whose advice did he take? Ron & Nancy Reagan?

You can tell who the "ME FIRST" people are. We're supposed to put THEIR LIVES ahead of the lives of the unborn. As much as I would like a cure for many things but I'm not willing to take it from someone who doesn't get a say in the matter.
