All the Neo-Coms will spout this line in an effort to program the American Public... "Bush Lied", "Rove did it", etc.

President Bush is within his authority to make this appointment. It is a result of winning the election...

A minority of Senators cannot stop the executive department from functioning, that's the way the Constitution is written...

The questions that needs to be asked of Dean, Kennedy, Kerry, et al, is How did he abuse his power? Are his actions constitutional? and just to rub it in... What are you going to do about it?

Let the whining begin!!!

Is there some law or something that precludes democrat 'leaders' from speaking the truth?

"in an unprecedented move"

That's the Democrats for you in a nutshell. Two words into the press release, and they're already lying.

110 for the first term, 1 this term that I could find. Is that correct? I can't find second term statistics. I haven't spent a lot of time looking, granted.

No, Howie, recess appointments are something guaranteed to the President by law.

I'll bet a week's pay that Dean has never read the Constitution.

As far as this bunch is concerned, a Republican taking a breath is an abuse of power, exploiting all those helpless little oxygen molecules.

Don't they ever sleep?

LOL

The MSM hardly batted an eye when Clintoon pardoned a bunch of Puerto Rican terrorists so his pimp-wife could get their votes for the Senate, that's an abuse of power Mr. Dean.

The real abuse of power has been committed by Dems in the Senate. The Senate is constitutionally obligated to vote up or down on all Presidential nominees. Their refusal to bring his nomination to the floor for a vote is unconstitutional. Bills can be filibustered, but technically, nominee's legally cannot. The rules need to be changed to ensure the constitutional process is being followed.

Now that the dem national committee prepared this hit piece on the President's nomination of Bolton, let's count up all the stories that come out that use this press release as their basis for their story.

This is a press release by the DNC its not a news article.

This is a statement written by the DNC for general release, The DNC has shown for years they care less about telling the truth. Nothing the rats do or say is fact based.

Dean: Bolton Appointment Another 'Abuse of Power'

I guess he thought the same of JFK's recess appointment of Thurgood Marshall to the Circuit Court in 1962.

And it matters what Mr. Blowhard says because?

Only because the lapdog MSM blasts it far and wide in a dishonest propaganda attempt to sway public opinion against Bush. Sad to say, such efforts are often successful. The press, of course, does not report the kind of pro-Bush comment seen on this thread.

This from the expert on abuse of power. It is/was an abuse of power for the demo-rats in the senate NOT to have let the Bolton nomination come up for a vote!
