What about the line-up that is just tabloid trash IMHO

[A.Hun]

This is probably killing the rest of the MSM. They hid his speech at Kansas State so effectively.

This won't be as easy to hide.

[Mo1]

Thanks ...

Taking a line from Genesis, the first book of the Bible, Dean explained the first question ever asked by anyone was, "Am I my brother's keeper?"

Funny, I always thought that the Dems had more in common with the one who really asked the first question in the Bible.

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?"

I would think it preferable for a politician to get money through the front door from Mr. Abramoff rather than getting it slipped under the back door from his clients.

Excellent point. I totally agree.

[snugs]

From a British point of view though 11.00pm for a talk or political program does not seem late especially on a Saturday night most of our programs are 10.30 - 11.30.

[Carolinamom]

I read that it was lack of housing and transportation that prevented refugees from returning to NO and taking those jobs. The FEMA trailers provided them, they say, are too far away across the river for them to get to work. There is free ferry service across the Mississippi River, and the jobs are right there on Bourbon St. et al.

[Miss Marple]

The President is doing an excellent job on Face the Nation.

[Chgogal]

LOL

So true, but please think of it this way. It takes four rats to equal one Safire! :) Ooooppppps! Was that too nasty?

[Mo1]

I am willing to believe that his mind is elsewhere, like the possible NUKE of the dems. coming up.

Could be .. all I know is he's not doing a great job explaining things

[snugs]

That will mean 11.00am for me then.

[Peach]

Frist was not good on MTP but the president is getting a fair shake on CBS's Face the Nation and doing a good job. Is it Bob Shiffer on CBS? It is a very fair interview and I have a feeling he does not dislike the president. Which is shocking :-)

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

And now a word from our REAL Sponsors of Free Speech

The Men and Women who serve,
and have served, our country
are the ones who make sure that
the Politicans and Judges are free to do their job.

We would not have a US Supreme Court
without the protection of the Military.

Politicans and Judges are safe
because of the Military who protect them.

TEST : Call your Senator or Congressman's office
AFTER 5 PM, or on the weekend.
IF you speak to an actual person, ask who's in charge today?

Now look up the phone number
of your local military base.
Call that number 24/7
and ask the live voice you get
to speak with the person in charge.

Send a Thank You while you enjoy your Freedom also.


You will stay right where you are on the thread.
Please take a moment and Thank a Service Man or Woman.

aaarrrrggghhh. bill clinton brother routine. STOP IT

[CedarDave]

Brit's son was in the media, but unfortunately committed suicide several years ago. Obviously a devastating loss for him and his family.

[Fudd Fan]

Frist is doing a terrible job on MTP

Yes he is. He looks nervous and uncomfortable. I like Frist very much personally, but I can't get upset that he's leaving the senate altogether at the end of the year.

[Txsleuth]

I posted one night last week...that MSNBC should NOT be called a news channel...

It is all GET BUSH, all the time...from what I have seen.

[anita]

Why don't they just read their e-mail...I am sure they would find out how to fix it.

I think they 're reading and worried for the long term. I would be happy if they drop the fair & balanced and go with & follow truth & only truth slogan.

FTN

Bush - Clinton - Bush - CLINTON.

bleh!

[Seattle Conservative]

"As info: Kos has a solid 13 names that will vote for Phil A. Buster with 2 undecided who had previously been listed in the "No on cloture" field."

Whoopee - 13 names! What about the gang of 14? These idiots just want to show their left-wing wacko base that they're working for them, so they can get more $$$s (I suspect Soros has been ringing their phones off the hook, too).

From a post I made yesterday - gang of 14 i not going to go along w this:

"Another Gang of 14 member on board to help end the filibuster. Does anyone have a list of all gang members committed to stopping the filibuster?"

Don't have a list of those who are committed to stopping filibuter, but here is the gang (from one of your posts, Cboldt). The only ones that I could see voting no on cloture from the list below might be Inouye, and that's just because I don't know that much about him. Landrieu and/or Salazar might if the Dims pressure them enough, though they both stated the other day that they would vote no to confirm and yes on cloture. IMHO, Salazar would get blasted at home as CO has a lot of Pubbies and he barely won over Coors. Landrieu might not vote to confirm, but I think she needs to be careful about voting no on cloture, because she wants $s for LA for Katrina. Pryor said he would not support a filibuster.

Also, according to a poll on Rasmussen, people in AR (Pryor), CO (Salazar), CT (Lieberman), and WV (Byrd) support the confirmation. That said, as of last Nov, so did people in WA, but my 2 bimbo senators are useless, in fact, I read last night that when a WA FReeper called Cant-do-well's office, they said she hadn't made up her mind and was meeting w Alito on Monday - -what the heck for, except to stall (and, she's up for election this year)!!!

A. Future Nominations. Signatories will exercise their
responsibilities under the Advice and Consent Clause of the
United States Constitution in good faith. Nominees should only
be filibustered under extraordinary circumstances, and each
signatory must use his or her own discretion and judgment in
determining whether such circumstances exist.

E. Benjamin Nelson (D-NE)
Joe Lieberman (D-CT)
Robert Byrd (D-WV)
Ken Salazar (D-CO)
Mary Landrieu (D-LA)
Daniel K. Inouye (D-HI)
Mark Pryor (D-AR)
Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
John McCain (R-AZ)
Mike DeWine (R-OH)
John Warner (R-VA)
Susan Collins (R-ME)

and cboldt's additional great info:

Gang-of-14 Positions Relating to Alito Filibuster.
Caveat: I took an announced vote FOR the nominee to be a postition against filibuster, to narrow the search. Seven of the fourteen have announced being FOR the nominee.
Of the remaining seven, three are against filibuster. That leaves a maximum of four Gang-of-14 Senators being willing to cast a vote for filibuster. None of them has expressed an intention to vote for the filibuster.

The anti-filibuster vote is 59, by adding Chaffee, Landrieu and Pryor to the 56 AYE votes for the nominee. In order to defeat the cloture motion, the DEMs have to get all four of the "NONCOMMITAL on filibuster" below (Inouye, Lieberman, Salazar and Snowe). That would clearly signal the death of "extraordinary circumstances," and would validate the use of the nuclear option.

But even getting all four of the "NONCOMMITAL on filibuster" from the Gang-of-14 wouldn't be enough to sustain a defeat of the cloture motion.

Daniel K. Inouye (D-HI) - NONCOMMITAL on filibuster - AGAINST the nominee
Joe Lieberman (D-CT) - NONCOMMITAL on filibuster - AGAINST the nominee
http://lieberman.senate.gov/newsroom/release.cfm?id=250808

Ken Salazar (D-CO) - NONCOMMITAL on filibuster - AGAINST the nominee
http://salazar.senate.gov/news/releases/060119alito.htm

Olympia Snowe (R-ME) - NONCOMMITAL on filibuster & the nominee
Her voicemail box (202.224.5344) is currently "full." LOL.

Lincoln Chaffee (R-RI) - Against Filibuster - Noncommital on the nominee.
Chafee has long signaled his worry that a filibuster against Alito would gridlock the Senate. Hourahan reaffirmed Thursday that the senator would join fellow Republicans in voting to shut off debate.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1566755/posts

Mary Landrieu (D-LA) - Against filibuster - Noncommital on the nominee.
"Because we have such a full plate of pressing issues before Congress, a filibuster at this time would be, in my view, very counterproductive. It is imperative that we remain focused on creating the tools New Orleans, Louisiana and the Gulf Coast will need to rebuild. This includes passing the Baker bill and allowing our state to keep its fair share of offshore energy revenues. We simply cannot afford to bring the Senate to a halt at a time when we need its action the most. If called to vote for cloture on Judge Alito's nomination, I will vote yes.

"I will continue to consult with constituents, groups, organizations and colleagues to decide on my final vote. I do think it is important that we have an up or down vote."
http://landrieu.senate.gov/scotus/alito2.cfm

Mark Pryor (D-AR) - Against filibuster - AGAINST the nominee
He added, without prompting, that he did not support a filibuster against Alito because "one is not warranted."
