Dems Send the Senate into Closed Session Over Plame Leak

CSPAN 2

[LisaFab]

Harry Reid just made a motion, that was seconded, to send the Senate into closeed session.Schumer, Rockefeller and Durbin are before the press asking for a Senate Intelligence investigation into the Plame affair

[Dems_R_Losers]

Rockefeller is really showing his ass here. Talk about not ready for prime time.

[LisaFab]

George Allen on Fox right now!

Unfortunatly, it looks like Bill & Hillary are launching a massive campaign of distortions, lies, and disinformation that will last all the way to 11/08 if the Hildabeast gets the nomination. They will systematically trash our democracy and our country to win in 2008. They have no values and no morals and they will stop at nothing to win. As Sgt. Elias said in the movie Platoon...."what happened today is just the beginning."

[Dolphy]

It is an absolute dis-service to our fine military to let the Democraps lie about their mission like this.

Not only that, it is the only weapon our enemy can hope to have in their effort to defeat us. They have no military capability to match ours so they turn to our collective will and the Democrats are aiding and abetting them, if not leading that fight.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

A two-year investigation into a trivial issue like this without an indictment constitutes is tantamount to a verdict of 'innocent' in my mind.

[conservativepoet]

"did you know they were going to invoke rule 21? They suspected as such... but it hasn't been done for 20 years... its delaying regular business on the deficit spending bill for 45 mins? Give me a break"


That's a non-answer. The question is "What do Republicans do now after the stunt has been committed?" Frist sounded rather weak on the Senate floor after the Senate reopened.

[marajade]

everyone knows that Durbin lied... Durbin has no credibility... Durbin has done it to himself... the admin doesn't have to

[linn37]

Reid admitted that he did'nt want to consult Frist.

[Peach]

Your points are well taken- however...my son, and thousands of other Americans in the armed forces have gone to Iraq to fight this war. I am completely fed up with Republicans allowing the spin on WMD etc to go on- it does great to dishonor to our servicemen and women. It's one thing to let em whirl when it's about lesser issues. NOT when it comes to WAR.

Exactly. We CANNOT let our military be demoralized by this.

Case in point, Roberts is going to be carried on FNC soon to talk about the Intelligence Committee. Do you know how easy it would be for him to deflect all this criticism and yells of "LIAR?"

Freepers can do it easily. Why can't the Republican Senators?

[Txsleuth]

Sounds like the dems are getting their way, though...

I just heard Roberts say he is scheduling hearings Tues-Friday next week and LONGER IF NECESSARY!!!!

I give up!!!

[Soul Seeker]

Exactly.

What the Dems did today was an attack on ME.

I don't give a damn whether the Reps show a spine at this point. I have a Spine rock hard enough to make up for it. Bring it on Dems. One year from this point you are going to be writhing on the floor in pain at the election returns. This is no longer about the Reps, it's about you. You---will----Lose.

[jennyjenny]

Allen on Fox saying this is all about the dems not getting Rove. Yeppers.

[advance_copy]

George Allen on FNC called Reid's tantrum an "absurd stunt" and a "sucker punch".

[marajade]

the stunt is over...

[MNlurker]

Being fed up with no spined Republicans helped get a SC nominee that we can all be happy about.

Every once and awhile it doesn't hurt to remind them that we are providing for their elections.

[meyer]

Its a coup attempt and could lead to civil unrest.

My powder's dry - Bring it, libs, you bunch of useless, welfare-sucking leeches.

[papasmurf]

I say we turn the tables on them. WE call secret sessions, DO NOT let THEM have the opportunities to face the press during any prime news hour. Start bringing up old dirt on them. Allege that they are not qualified, ask for an investigation on them. Expose their secrets and their shortcomings. Release internal memos. Throw mud. State rumor as fact. Speak in "innuendo" and repeat it often. Make a sensational statement on prime time.

I am so sick and disgusted with this crap. I have never, ever advocated drastic measures. But I think the Pubby's should close it all down...NOW!

[PMCarey]

It is a sign of extraordinary weakness of the Democrat Party that all they can do now is pull stunts in the Senate to try to win one news cycle.

Indeed, it's a gimmick which can only be played once.

[marajade]

they already had them scheduled

[rcrngroup]

Sen Roberts said closed door got personal and he regrets that.

Why, did a red-faced stammering Repuke senator suddenly blurt out "WELL I NEVER!!!" Ooooo I bet the Dims really got chagrined after that outburst!
