Welcome, all you Freepers, to the continuing C-span soap operas about judicial nominations. "The Guiding SEARCHLIGHT, " "As the SENATE Turns, "One NOMINATION to Live" "GERIATRIC Hospital" (for all you Byrd and Lautenberg fans out there). Follow along with us, as the Dems raise the level of histrionics, bloviation, pontification, and all around bad acting to new highs, er, lows...
It is kind of ironic---on this thread today, I have seen two articles posted, one about Lugar that hints that Lugar may be on the compromise side, and we didn't count him..
and the other is the one about Hagel being for Frist, and we did count him on the compromise side..
I guess that means we are still talking about 6 RINOS?
Snowe, Collins, McCain, Warner, Chafee, DeWine....
BTW, on c-span, they are showing a replay of Sen.Snowe and Sen. Collins giving the DEF Dept hell for the BRAC list and them losing bases in Maine.....
If they did more to help out the Republicans, well.....
I did see Durbin trash Janice that last time he was up , ... smarmy stuff
Well, when you have the TV muted, and on Closed captioning, it loses a little of the PUNCH in the punchline, I guess! LOL
Collins and Snowe can pound sand.
I have a feeling he is going to stab Bolton in the back--diplomatically, of course!
LOL. It's a small world, one never knows... ;-)
Hey Peach made the NRO! Awesome!
Snowe and collins haven't lifted a finger to help us on any important issue. I see no reason to help them keep those bases.
I doubt Lugar will go against Frist on a vote. I'm not his biggest fan but you could count me surprised if he did.
Charles, is that you?
Somewhere on FR today I read a link saying that insiders in her office said that Collins was furious and slamming doors in the office. The insiders speculated that her anger was most likely because she, the governor of her state (name?) and several others had been turned down by Rumsfeldt for an appointment....probably about the base closing in her state.
hey ShowMeMom , we have same signup date , I lurked for 5 or 6 mos ,LOL
I think Lugar will go with us, or lose his chairmanship!
Well, I am watching this little presser with Thune, Snowe, Collins, Sununu, and Murkowski---
HMMMMMMM aren't all of them, except Thune, on the RINO, vote against Frist list???
Plus he is Presbyterian, lawyer, on the Foreign Relations, voted Nay on a Boxer Amendment while Warner voted Yea.
TV went on mute when Kerry appeared. I'm really sorry guy, but I don't think I can ever again hear that voice after the past election year. It makes me want to defeat him all over again.
I see Chafee and Snowe bolting. No more.
Txsleuth , was it you or OXEN that posted that bit about Collins having some kinda fit at her office today?? Way back maybe 3pm Eastern
It must have been OXEN IN FLA, not me---
oops Correction- scratch guy from my statement in 3536.
