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!
And some of you doubted Frist.
Yes, he is sometimes WAY too nice and too accomodating for our tates.
But, as he made clear from the first time he proposed his actually okay compromise, he would not take anything less than giving every nominee an up or down vote.
He has reached his limit. If they do not vote in favor of his acceptable compromise that would give the minority a voice and say in the process yet not allow the minority to stop the nominee from going forward.....well, Frist will then move to have the minority not have the power to block the nominees using the nuclear option.
Let's pray we have enough votes.
That was cute. :o)
What about "Breakinh 2: Electric Boohaloo!"?
Yeah, I email him (from the member side of his site) and have yet to get a response. But he might see it and like it enough to post it on his site; he's been REALLY annoyed with spineless Republicans lately.
"Anyone want in the pool as to when Frist folds?"
You're probably right.....All pubbies have GOT to be wondering if they will be the majority after 06, with the way they disregard what their constituents want.....they're surely considering that they might want to filibuster in the not too distant future. I hope I'm wrong, but....
Reid just found out that he's toast. :-)
Great post, CWW.
I got a kick out of yout lightinin' fast typing... =)
Fictionally speaking, Bauer would take custody of the entire minority for national security reasons. Following preliminary information gathering, it would take decades to sort out the charges. :-)
Whoo-Hoo!!! About time!!! I think the filibuster is stupid anyways. Hopefully Frist and the Republicans finally grew a pair, let's keep it going and kick it to DefCon 2.
Ah, when the letter is right next to the one they meant to push, give the poster a break. :)
So will Cheney vote no matter what? or if they have the votes will he sit it out?
Certainly is for my tates!!!
Hey -- I aim to please!
The American majority expects just that. This election brought in more voters than ever before in history, so now it's time to pay up. The voters want what they voted for - all of it!!!!
Atta boy Frist! Kudos!
LOLH!!!!
LOL!

Tell him to shove it where the sun don't shine.
Drudge had a guest on his show last night, who said the Constitutional option vote is going to be close. Just a couple of senators could make the difference.
Even if none of these SWING senators is your own senator,
please invest the time needed to call them. If you are busy, please at least call one or two.
The seven wavering Republican Senators are Collins, DeWine, Hagel, Murkowski, Roberts, Specter, and Warner.
We can call toll-free at 877-762-8762 & just ask to be connected to any senator.
Fax or e-mail info can be found here (but phone calls are more effective):
