C-span

[saveliberty]

We'll see. I don't think that Frist wants to chance it by letting it slip past Friday, unless he has them come in over the weekend.

[Not A Snowbird]

LOL!

We need Byrd to come back up and talk more about coal mining. That was riveting stuff, that was. Especially with his entrancing, breathless delivery.

[Txsleuth]

If you read Free Republic very often...then you would know that a LOT of the freepers on this thread are fans of Mike Pence...of the House RSC.....

and he is one that wants to drastically cut spending...

so...don't talk down to us...that we are all big fans of high spending...we aren't...but we are "realistically" trying to work within the parameters that might actually work...instead of being on the outside looking in...

[syriacus]

Terri Schiavo and her family were abused by Judge Greer.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Because we only had the networks and CNN back then... no internet to blow the whistle on the dirty deeds. We were suckered.

[Graymatter]

I've lost count of all the lies coming out of Durbin's mouth.

[Fudd Fan]

She just had her [pink] hair done! lol

[syriacus]

Starving Terri Schiavo was not a private thing.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Yack Weed will come in sooner or later, wrapped in a full body stockinette and cast after being dumped on his head for disrupting their leftist agenda for citing the true reason for the Supreme Court earlier today.

[saveliberty]

LOL! I want mine just like it. LOL!

[Bahbah]

Hiya Fuddie.

[Howlin]

I say we ignore that one. I am.

I'm on my way over to babysit -- I'll check in from there.

[ezed72]

DOES ANYONE HAVE A LIST OF ALL THE SENATORS WHO HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN?

[Not A Snowbird]

That was random.

[pillut48]

Now Dickie is bringing up the Terry Schiavo travesty and claiming "She'd been kept alive for 15 years with extraordinary measures!!" Like food through a feeding tube is extraordinary--please. Keep up your culture of death, demmies. People will start to realize who you all really are.

[Arizona Carolyn]

ROTHFOL.

[eleni121]

Doncha just love the fair weather conservatives who want everything to change lickety split overnight? They need to realize that it can't happen unless there is an "airtight" majority.

November 2006 is important...very important.

[Miss Marple]

This is my last post to you, because I am convinced you are a plant. I LIKE the President. I am HAPPY with the direction this country has taken. I am pleased with the prosecution of the War on Terror. I like Rummy and Cheney and Rice. I am glad to see the military supported and strengthened. I like it that we didn't sign on to Kyoto or the World Court.

I like it that my taxes were lowered, that the NEA is grinding their teeth, that the Partial Birth Abortion Ban was signed, and that we have a good and decent man and wife in the White House. I LIKE THEM, and I approve of most of their actions.

So..."So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good-bye!"

[saveliberty]

SCOTUS just agreed to hear a death penalty case in which the perp first claimed that he was retarded, failed and now claims that lethal injection would be painful and that's cruel and unusual.

I am fighting back an urge to tell them to starve and dehydrate him to death, if it's so "peaceful"

[Not A Snowbird]

Never mind, I get it now. I had Durbin muted and didn't know he was talking about Terri.
