If you would like on or off this Bush-Cheney ping list, please let me know.
Thanks!
When making your comments, please consider who the real culprits are in all of this -- The 44 Clinton DemocRAT Senators who are ordered how to cast their votes by Hillary Clinton which makes 45 Clinton DemocRAT obstructionist.
If we don't elect a larger Repubublican majority in the Senate that can break a filibuster, the continued stalemate on judges will continue, and there is absolutely nothing the President or Republican Senators can do. Senate rules say you can filibuster, so the DemocRATs will do just that on certain judges. It would not be wise to change the Senate rules that Republicans may need to use someday themselves!
Now you can continue to whine and get angry with Republicans, but it does absolutely no good -- time to channel that anger into something positive and work for a larger Republican majority in the Senate so this does not continue to happen!
Please send Mrs. Clinton and the other 44 Clinton DemocRAT Senators a message -- you intend to work to defeat each and every Senator that voted to obstruct the Estrada and other nominations and you will not rest until Clinton and her band of obstructionist are systematically defeated.
If you would like on or off this Bush-Cheney ping list, please let me know.
Thanks!
One thing I've always admired about the President is that he rarely if ever loses his cool and throws insults. This is about as damning a statement I've ever heard him utter.
If the DEMs have applied the rules in a way that was never intended (i.e., invoking cloture rule for judicial nominations), then what would be so bad about closing the loophole?
Is it wrong for a minority of Senators to block a judicial appointment regarded as appropriate by the majority? If your answer is "it's permitted by the rules," then don't complain about the DEM use of the rule.
My opinion is that the rule is wrong and should be changed.
Monster Size BUMP! I'd also like to add that it's unfortunate, that this statement will not be read on ANY television stations anywhere in the continental United States of America. I also think he should've used the W.H. and the Office of the President as a bully pulpit and brought this to the average Americans attention w/ a press conference showing how angry he was about it and exactly what it means when RAT partisanship has flushed another person's reputation down the toilet. Perhaps now, George W. Bush will admit to himself that nothings really changed in D.C., even w/ Republicans in control of the Senate, nothing's changed. I sure would like to know what Karl Rove's thinking/long term planning is about this issue!!!
So, what are you going to do about it, Mr. President?
I hope this signals that the President is finally about to take off the gloves. I hope this blows up BIG TIME in the RATS faces.
And, I HOPE the President nominates him to the Supreme Court when a vacancy occurs.
I really can't stand any democrat any more. I'm watching dean and no brows, and am ready to throw something through the screen.
Well put, PhiKapMom!
