Why doesn't Cheney head over there and preside. That would really piss them off. Ha!
Maybe the "Gang of 14" will come to the rescue.
Bump
When I said meltdown mode, I meant that they are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, so to speak. Meltdown mode=panic mode
The RATs plan to do this over and over again which would virtually shut down the senate. It's obstructionism, but it's a likely to fool the weak-minded liberals of the nation.
What a jerk dingy Harry is
Why does the so called Republican-controlled Senate ( with a majority of 55-45 ) allow such things to happen ?
Would such a closed door session have occured under a Clinton administration before 1994 ?
I sometimes wonder if the GOP knows how to handle being in power.
Maybe it has something to do with this, too. Really a bad week for dem Dems.
Breaking
Judge Removed from DeLay Case (Judge Perkins Removed)
they certainly are helping the enemies of the USA!
At last we'll get to find out exactly what JOhn KErry's motivation was for voting for the war before he voted against it.
Then again, maybe not. After all, why is this a closed session? I mean, there's nothing to hide, right? Why the double secret probation, Senator Reid?
UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER
Take no prisoners.
But that doesn't matter because everyone knows that Toon was never going to do anything about it - it being Iraqi belligerence, arms program, genocide etc.
Reid is not likely to have done this without some new information. We have had an unconfirmed report -- I repeat, unconfirmed, not second-sourced or even explained -- that something has been found in Iraq that dispels previous misconceptions. Whatever that means. Stay tuned. Reid has chosen to go ugly early. And there may be lots to come. Stay tuned. Huh? Wonder what that means...
Somebody should remind the dems of the stump speeches kerry and daschle and others were making during the clinton impeachment. We could find out where they were getting their intelligence.
They need to start fighting back! For far too long they have asked our soldiers to fight 24/7 in some of the most hostile territory on earth! - Yet the sit back here in luxury and won't even enter the fight a mere 40 hours a week!! (hell, not even 20 hours...half a work week).
The notion that false premise after false premise keeps being allowed to be set by the MSM (and DEM's) is absurd!! - It is pathetic of this WH and RNC.
Get out there with a full blitz PR campaign, in a systematic way which floods the American people with our successes and reestablishes ALL the reasons we needed to move on Iraq.
Tell how since Sept 11th we have inflicted one strategic defeat after another on our enemies while not suffering one ourselves.
The PR teams for the WH and RNC have been utterly pathetic. Our soldiers deserve more from them. Much more.
Thanks for the link. I've fixed it.
This is getting nasty.
How come Reid gets to "go nuclear" and the GOP can't?
Excuse me, but did not the Senate already investigate this?
> How come Reid gets to "go nuclear" and the GOP can't?
Oh, but we can and this sorta crap just makes our case for us.

Letter to President Clinton. - ( D ) Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, others, Oct. 9, 1998

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998.

Jay Rockefeller ( D, WV ) , Oct 10, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime … He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation … And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction … So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real…" - Sen. John F. Kerry ( D,
The Democrats are practicing the big lie. The war was not solely about WMD, but most believed this was a problem before Sadaam was toppled.
