Mellon looks like a Commie spy. Or the way I would picture a Commie spy. Little weenie.

WHAT??????????? HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER TRUSTED REID!!!!!

Absolutely. They (even when Dashole was in there) consider themselves all friends and colleagues, which serves us no purpose, and it is being showcased now.

Amend the Rule to require a majority of the Senate to vote in public to hold a closed session and require at least ten Senators to state reasons in writing for requesting a closed session at least 48 hours in advance of the vote. That should stop Reid's outrageous stunt cold.

EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN SHOULD BE CALLING HARRY REID OR THEIR OWN SENATOR TO LET THEM KNOW WE ARE OUTRAGED OVER THIS STUNT. THE DEMOCRATS CARE MORE ABOUT THEIR EGO'S THAN THEY DO ABOUT OUR COUNTRY!

NUMBER FOR THE US CAPITOL IS 202-224-3121

AMEN.. FLOOD THEM WITH CALLS> THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

Yet the Democrats, instead of accepting the truth, have decided to play politics with our national security

If you have ever listened to left radio you will realize that ONLY THE DEMONRATS KNOW THE TRUTH and Fitz and everyone else is working under false assuptions. Bush must be taken out and the sooner the better. Err America call themselves the "TRUTH TELLERS" (/sarcasm)

Funny how Foxnews.com is the only major news website that mentions it.

If the Dems try to impeach, they die (politically).

What a crock of crap! I'm tellin' ya, these people are grasping at straws, in absolute desperation to bring down the Bush Administration, no matter the cost. The Democratic Party is out to avenge Slick Willie's impeachment, pay back Bush for AlGore and Kerry the Trator's defeats, and prove once and for all that the entire War on Terror is based on lies. While they're at it, they'd like to rip out every dam on the rivers out West, pay reparations for 400 years of Slavery, make Cindy Sheehan the first Secretary of Peace in the REAL President's Administration, and on, and on, and on.

Judge Alito's nomination to SCOTUS just pushed Harry Reid off of the deep end, and the Democrats are imploding before our eyes.

Sure it matters.

because they don't have the House this is a tantrum.

If they had the House, they would impeach. Not for corruption, but on basis of politics.

Makes a world of difference who controls the House.

It was Durbin who immediately seconded Reid's motion. The republican senator presiding over the senate didn't call for a vote. Maybe on this procedural Rule # 21, it isn't necessary.

Of course Reid and Durbin (and the rest of the dem leadership) planned this stunt to catch Frist unaware.

CNN Bob Franken said the democrats have succeeded in grabbing the headlines away from the President's statement on Avian vaccine.

Maybe it's finally time to repeal the 17th amendment. I bet they wouldn't have done this if the statehouses got to select their senators.

I wouldn't doubt this closed session and unecessary occupation of time is to delay the Alito hearings.

Frist should agree.


HE should then Call on the Preisident to direct the AG, to direct FITZGERALD to empanel a NEW GRAND JURY to investigate Possible Hatch Act Violations that may have occurred in conjunction with Joe Wilsons trip.

They absolutely cannot wait to get the impeachment under way.

Reid (replay on C-Span) talking about Larry Wilkerson, Powell's chief of staff. Wilkerson said that Cheney hijacked foreign policy (apparently not understanding that the VP helps SET foreign policy, not the State Department).

We can combat this folks. This is where FR is great.

Call your Senators and remind them that the Senate already wrote a report that detailed how Joe Wilson lied and that Saddam WAS trying to purchase yellowcake. EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT SIGNED THIS REPORT.

Call your Senators and give them the list I posted above about the Democrats who ALL supported Clinton's Iraqi Regime Change policy/bill which talked about the danger Iraq's WMD posed to the United States.
