Hey Over here, it is really good.
I love Hugh Hewitt (most of the time)....but, alas, won't get his show for 3 hours...gack...but, I will be glad to follow along a thread...
Especially since Mark Levin isn't on tonight.
What the hell happened today....I've been out house hunting.
Yeah the last hour or so bores me but this Sen Burr is GREAT
THANKS FOR THE PING!
I guess I missed the good stuff alreadY!
OY!
steak and tators are good though..
I'm here, because Mark Levin has a substitute.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM GOOD!Might have to bail and go out to eat!
Senator DeMint will be on at 40 after the hour.
As long as your steak is Medium Rare.... we will forgive you...
Yep, the subs just do not cut it. Sorry guys. Sure you are very nice people but there is a reason the "Great ones" are know that way
Subs are like ordering a steak and getting a taco...
I like tacos- but sure ticks me off when I get a taco when I wanted a steak..
Hewitt is somewhat wrong. The democrats had an amendment that meant that, the republican's amendment doesn't really change anything.
The democrats will always try to claim victory. Last year they claimed a loss was a victory. Last tuesday they claimed that the status quo was a victory.
Now the rejection of their amendment is a victory.
The amendment Warner put in was actually a pretty good amendment. Not great, but asking for reports is a fine thing.
The best part to me of this is that the part that is the "sense of the senate" basically says the Senate wants the administration to DO what the administration is DOING. In other words, the republicans just got most of the democrats to endorse the Administration plan.
Some people can't take half-wins from the jaws of defeat, they want slap-downs.
Instead, we can spin this as a slap-down.
I wonder if Hewitt even READ the amendment?
Me too...
BTW, Rumsfeld was asked about this amendment today, and he said he was fine with it, that it was what they were already doing, and that he was happy that the Senate actually took an interest in reports -- and then said he hoped they would READ the reports.
90-day reporting gives the Administration a scheduled time every 3 months to re-make their case, and the democrats can't complain about it because they signed on to it.
Just called my Senator's office and told him to take me off his donor list.
dang!
I am calling my guys tomorrow to THANK them for their wits....
I admit Isakson, to me, is no thrill... he's not conservative enough for me.. but at least he kept his mind today...
Chambliss is pretty good though.. much better than johnny isakson...
Spin as hard as you want it is a total PR and Propaganda defeat. It emboldens our foes and disheartens our freinds. It was a completely stupid move that should of been spiked by the Leadership. A Dem run Senate would of never even let this on the floor. Tom Delay would of killed this in a heart beat. Senate Repbulicans seem unable to realize THEY are in charge, not the Dems.
