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...
LOL!!! Great post
Well, I look MUCH better! See my tag.......
Senator Chafee is saying he will vote against Judge Alito’s nomination. Below is part of this RINO’s voting record. Call this man now! Special Interest has him by the ying-yang!

Call Senator Chafee NOW – message is VOTE FOR JUDGE ALITO!

Oh Senator Debbie Stab-me-now, or shut up!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!
The default delay under Rule XXII is 30 hours of debate, ut that can be modified by a unanimous consent agreement. You probably recall a good number of cases wehre cloture and "vote on the matter" were held back to back, with no intervening debate. That was by previously agreed unanimous consent.
The UC for Alito also cuts the 30 hours short, but doesn't lay cloture and vote on the nominee back-to-back. I think the arrangement was made so last week, in order to give credence to the premise that filibuster had a chance. IOW, the GOP is helping the DEMs have cover and save face.
Before what, she grazes at the buffet? LOL!
Kudos!!!!
They have, but the dims keep mis-using the case just to get the "strip search" shock value.
850 KOA-Denver (tape delayed 2-5pm ET)
1530 KFBK-Sacramento (LIVE)
KFI AM-640-Los Angeles (LIVE)
Has the good Mr. Stabenow been heard from?
She needs to get in touch with Boxer and Tony Little.
They have done so over, and over, and over again. That's what makes the dems repeating it so shameless. At least the first time you could think maybe they misunderstood it.
She's living large in DC.
Does anyone have an unofficial filibuster tally going on, the number who have said they will support a filibuster, and the number who have said they will not? I keep seeing rumors about how the Dims only need a couple more votes to sustain a filibuster, and that doesn't sound right.
here is another one http://kfyi.com/main.html
I don't know why they keep sending someone up there to "discuss". None have a new point to make. It's like they hand the same speech off to each other when they leave the podium.
Yes, he is.
