C-span

[ken5050]

Good Monday morning, fellow Freeper political junkies. One of the more ridiculous episodes of political theater is about to play itself out on the Senate floor, as the John Kerry-led democrats mount an exercise in political futility which will further expose their total irrelevance..So join us today, or drop in on occasion, for the festivities...

Plannin on it!~

Folks!

We need to take a moment and thank RONALD REAGAN for master minding the greatest recovery of conservatism in our lifetimes. Beginning in the 1980's when a pathetic peanut-head loser took us to the brink of collapse, RR engineered the Republicans remarkable return to power.

Today, we are witnessing the implosion of the Democratic party. Leaderless, they are left without ideals and does not know whether to go moderate or further left (look at Hitlery for an example - trying to be a moderate but voting NO on cloture).

Thanks be to God for Ronald Reagan. Thanks to Dubya for doing his part!

One would be Ensign...anyone know who else?

[boomop1]

He be slick, pandering to his constituent thugs.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Isn't that something? Theyv'e turned DU into a PRIVATE CLUB!

[MNJohnnie]

Extortion ?

Gutlessness.

[Mears]

Maybe NOW they will all move to Canada. (If they still think Canada is so wonderful)

[Ticonderoga34]

Geez. the final vote on cloture is a blow out. Huge loss for the Dems.

Harry Reid didn't want a filibuster but Kerry had to try and out flank Gore and Hillary on the left. What a dunce!

Looks like Chaffee isn't going to be able to find shelter on either side of the aisle.

That's my definition of a "moderate" - you pi$$ off both sides.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

The only hope is a few hanging chads (no Teddy, not hanging 'nads-pull up your trousers.)

[Txsleuth]

I just hope the White House pays attention...and does NOT campaign for that idiot!

[eeevil conservative]

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN AMERICA!!!

[onyx]

Obama voted NO.

[Pukin Dog]

100% Correct!

Thank you, Ronald Wilson Reagan. We are getting there, and we have not forgotten.
