I don't like it. And it's wrong.
But, unfortunately, it's perfectly legal according to parliamentary procedure.
And how many millions more deliberately didn’t vote in November because both major candidates were odious ? Without Palin as the VP pick, I’d not have voted for McCain, as I found him personally offensive and antithetical to Conservatism. This collective media orgasm over the False Messiah is the singlemost disgusting spectacle I’ve witnessed in my lifetime. They’re treating this not as an inauguration, but as the coronation of an Emperor... or the Second Coming (in fact, I doubt Jesus Himself would get this kind of treatment). Very few channels one can turn to, save a music station, that isn’t participating in this abomination.
Will one Republican Senator have the guts to say NO!??
Yep, I am feeling like there is no one to represent me since both my senators are Dems as well as my governor. I still write to my dem senators but I always get the typical responses back and I am basically ignored.
I wonder how many Republicans would say NO? none?
LOL!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!
A voice of sanity. Once they clear committee, there is very little chance they will be defeated on the floor. Usually some Senator will put a hold on one or two of the nominees, but a lot get unanimous consent.
Why don’t the republicans hold them up for 10 months like the rat’s did on Bush?
Coconut republic?
Rolling over for Herr Fuhrer already.
I agree. But the NEA and the other libs won’t allow more conservative teachers.
Well Soros bought himself the presidency by way of pre paid credit cards of which I bet was millions and untraceable.
Obama is his puppet and the likes of ACORN,MOVE on etc are the troops.
sickening isn’t it The founding fathers will be turning in their graves
The whole damn produce stand.
Sad to say but America has shifted left thanks to Bush. The Senate is doing the people’s will. Did you see last week’s Fox News polls?
The Messiah has a 76% approval rating.
Biden has a 58% approval.
Hillary Clinton 71% approval.
McCain 64% approval.
Bush 34% approval.
Palin 49% approval.
58% approval of Obama’s stimulus plan.
More than half want the Bush tax cuts ditched in favor of Obama’s tax cuts.
Because the republicans have been compromised. They don’t dare. They are scared and any tiny opposition they put up is for show.
It's not even being asked for, for Holder or Geithner (or Daschle).
How can there be 58% approval of a stimulus plan that we know nothing about?
I don’t get it, somebody explain to me what this means. I read it as a request for all Senate Democrats to unanimously approve Obama’s appointees, right? Or do they want all Senators to unanimously approve his appointees? They can request all they want, it doesn’t give them authority to force approval or to keep people from raising objections.
Sounds to me like they just don’t want to look like a divided party, as many of Obama’s appointments (at least the economic ones) are pretty centrist and mainstream, not the Galbraitheans that the nutroots were hoping for, and so rather than fight over Summers et al they will just wave them all in to avoid airing dirty laundry.
