BREAKINH!!-- FRIST TELLS REID TO POUND SAND -- FILIBUSTER NEGOTIATIONS HALTED!!
Reuters ^ | 05-16-05 | cww

Just Reported -- Frist and Reid broke off filibuster negotiations tonight -- Both said, "stick a fork in it, we're done" (or words to that effect).

Reid is quoted as saying that Frist wanted "all or nothing." Hmm -- sounds good to me!

Wednesday is D-Day. Better start loading up Fat Man and Little Boy! We're going thermonuclear!

"Let's pray we have enough votes."

I agree and pray that God's Holy Spirit will en-COURAGE every conscience and that there will be an absolute Marxist/DNC/pro-death SMACKDOWN and that several SCOTUS justices will soon step down, in Jesus' Name, amen.

Hey, I thought the 'h' was intentional. Adds more breathlessness...sort of a Rita Cosby version of BREAKING.

We owe them absolutely nothing! Nothing that is, except the war they started.

Did anyone see little Chuckie Schumers pitiful display in the Senate today. What a complete bunch of losers.

McConnell claims they may have enough Dems to get to 60 votes.

Dems?

You mean RINO traitors.

I don't care who is in the minority, filibustering judicial nominees is annoying and wrong.

There is no way in hell my Senator Roberts would vote against the rules change.

And, he released a statement today saying he WILL vote for the change and the KC Star story was wrong.

Newt hasn't a snowball's chance in hell and neither does Frist.

What do I know, that you don't know about Frist? His record and that he has less than NO backing, for a run at the presidency, for starters.

Did he really eat dinner with Frist?



Along with a few more:
Other senators at the dinner included Kit Bond (R-Mo.), Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) Ben Nelson (D-Neb)

I think it had been planned for a time as a social outing. There was a thread or article mentioning it on FR last Fri or Sat and I think one of the Senators cooked the ducks.
