ANyway to catch them in their AHEM lies?

[small voice in the wilderness]

I have to agree. It was a scary moment when he stood behind the podium. Was he going to be one of us tonight? And did he remember just whose side he's on?

[Howlin]

I hope someone will re-post all the Senate phone numbers and flood them with support and ideas to have someone repeat past Democrat quotes over and over and do it for their speech....

[Arioch7]

LOL! I hear ya'

I can see the point of a filibuster, but is going for 30 hours, and announcing in advance that it's only going to be 30 hours, going to do anything besides get attention?

Hopefully it will get enough attention to get the nominees voted on, but it does seem as if a real filibuster might be more effective.

I'm still trying to figure out why they needed all those cots if they were only planning to stay 30 hours.

[glock rocks]

this is a serious moment in our history... sad.

Robert Bork

[Ladytotheright]

Why is the GOP waisting it's time with this old fart??

[Howlin]

Well, he's still talking, so you might get your wish. :-)

[Arioch7]

LOL! Very funny!

[Lancey Howard]

I have to point out that at the very least, it is good to watch Sen. Specter fighting for the GOP... for once.

He's on the wrong side of too many issues, but the guy is very, very sharp. He was one of the GOP point men in the killing of Hillary-care, and he was brilliant when he exposed Anita Hill and that woman judge from California as shameless, embarrassing liars during the Clarence Thomas hearings. Sometimes, I am glad he is on our side.

Just once I would like to hear Spector lose his temper

The way he talks can really put a person to sleep
