Tell the Dems to bring their flashlights and their bedrolls

Tell um to bring their duct tape and plastic too "because we aren't stopping like the last time just because some of you got worried that the bombs were coming".

ACTUALLY, this is brilliant. Shoot the warning shot across their bow. Then if they continue their demoratic nonsense, hit them when it hurts. The day after our troops cross into Iraq, start the 24/7 marathon. The Republicans can preach about how great Estrada is, how wonderful our troops are, hell read press reports from the front line about the WMD's they find (that Sadamn and the demorats say Iraq doesn't have). Think about it. If they are tied down 24/7, then they can not get in front of the cameras during the war and be the glory hounds that they always try to be with their me-tooism. If you do this Senator Hatch, you will win my vote to be on the USSC.

From my trips up to Miami this past week, the GOP is killing the rats. They are advertising heavily on the Spanish language stations down here!!!!!

Look around. There are assholes everywhere. Some are used for other purposes than that intended.

BTW, I've been trying to fax my congratulations to Senator Frist for about four hours and his fax machine is busy. I hope that it is from positive response.

Someone should take out TV ads in LA with her stating her support and a blurb of what she is doing now. Nothing else needs to be said. Let her hang herself.

I will be emailing my senators urging them to continue the 'good work' (wink-wink, nudge-nudge) that they are doing by filibustering the Estrada nomination now that it appears that the Pubs are serious about springing the trap that was laid. The longer the Dems filibuster, the worse they will look. My fear is that they are only offering token resistance to appease their base.

Held hostage in California....

He's probably going to run for senator. I'm not sure about this, and maybe some freeper can help me, but I remember George saying that he can't have Jeb in his administration because of some law, and the news guys mentioned something about it being because of the Kennedy's. Any freeper have info on that?

JKF had Bobbu as his Att. Gen. and that was nepotism. A law was subsiquently passed forbidding such nepotism. Hope that helps. :-)

If we're lucky we'll get a two-fer: Estrada and Byrd croaking attempting a 24-7 filibuster.

I hope CSPAN covers it 24/7 as well...time to get out the soda and popcorn...my husband and I watched it when they first started in back on the 13th and we laughed when the senate president kept having to interrupt and remind them to not say "you" but rather "the senator from Utah" or "the senator from Indiana"...then Hatch got really worked up after Durbin opened his pie hole and even said "zip, nada" in response to something Durbin stated that was wrong!

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
he hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword;
his truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

I have seen him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps
they have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
his day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His day is marching on.

I have read a fiery Gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal";
let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
since God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
he is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant, my feet;
our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.
