Zeee French are calling Bolton 'a right-wing militant' who 'opposes the international law'.

They stuck him on the 4 of spades!

ROFL! I love it! I'm more supportive of Bolton now than ever ^-^

I like how the President emphasized that Bolton had his full confidence and support.

And I liked how he made a strong point that he would have been approved by the Senate had there not been partisan game playing, and that he was within his CONSTITUTIONAL duty to appoint him.

Your position makes is wrong headed, imo. Cutting your nose off to spite your face makes no sense. Just work to get stronger conservatives elected in your state. Turning it all over to the loony left isn't going to make you any happier

"A handful of liberals has been trying to control the senate in much the same way that a handful (relatively speaking) of terrorists are attempting to take control of Islam."

Not a handful of either, actually. Liberals ARE the Dems and Islam IS the problem.

Here's my fave from the DUmp;

"Is Congress already in recess? Here is what we must do. Every time Bolton votes for anything in the UN, or does anything at all, we must write to the other nations' delegations represented in the Security Council and challenge whatever Bolton does on the basis that he does not represent the American people."

As if they needed any help in being against America. I'm sure the other nations UN reps will do it without your warnings.

Here's a few. I know there are more:

"President Bill Clinton made a recess appointment of Bill Lan Lee as assistant attorney general for civil rights, when it became clear that Lee's strong support of affirmative action would lead to Senate opposition. Similarly, when the Senate did not vote on his nomination of James Hormel to be Ambassador to Luxembourg, because he was gay, Clinton made a recess appointment. (Hormel thus became the first openly gay person to serve as a U.S. ambassador.) Clinton was strongly criticized by Congressional Republicans for making recess appointments. [1]"

Here's a PDF file that explains Recess Appointments:

Psychosis


I can’t vouch for its authenticity, but according to this web report Harry ("Bush is a loser") Reid said the following over the weekend:

“This administration is drunk with power.”

Yep.

Bartender, I’ll have a Vodka Martini, straight up, please . . .

* * *

On a serious note, what’s getting completely overlooked by the Sabatos and the Cooks of the world (or perhaps is something about which they’re in deep denial) is that this country’s political cycles tend to last for decades.

And decades.

In other words, things are bound to get even *worse* for “Dirty Harry” and his ilk.

CHICAGO, July 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- In an interview with BuzzFlash.com to be posted on Aug. 1, Sen. Harry Reid (news, bio, voting record), Democratic minority leader of the Senate, blasted the pending recess appointment of John Bolton to become U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, BuzzFlash said today. . "John Bolton is a person who, in his personal relationship with government employees, has been abominable, mean, unreasonable and bizarre," Sen. Reid told BuzzFlash. "His not producing the papers we have requested only underscores the importance of why we need those papers. There must be something he's trying to hide."

"sleipnir: Well, I hope the UN votes "NO" on accepting him.
???????
Yes, what the heck is that supposed to mean?"

That cracked me up! The folks at DU apparently think they are so very smart and know all things. Too bad they don't know that the UN has NO say who the US appoints as ambassadors to anything. (I probably should add - Yet - - if Hitlery or one of the other socialist - 'I want to rule the world' jerks get in - it wouldn't surprise me if they decided to seek approval from the UN, too).

UN is not a nation, they can not reject the credentials of the ambassador.

According to the liberal idiots at the dumpster, the UN rules the world and should reject Ambassador Bolton. Idiots!

President used the words "Partisan delaying tactics"

The dems would be wise to pay attention. That was the sound of the gloves coming off.

Bill Kristol just gave a glowing review of Bolton, having worked with him in the 1st Bush admin.
