Announce Filibuster Compromise
Astronomers have just reported a supernova above the Carolina coast. It was Howlin, going ballistic...
ROTFLOL! Hilarious!
But don't forget, Frist said all options, including the nuclear, are still on the table.
The "seven" will face NOTHING, but high praise from the MSM And the drooling admiration of the likes of Lanny Davis and Chrissy Mathews.
Unfortunately, that's not what the "agreement" says. But you're welcome to think it does.
Sick-ken-ning. That one little runt, DeWine, whoa, I wanted to smack him..lol.
Such "Extraordinary circumstances" to be determined by - you guess it - the Dims.
100,001 ........ but then again, now I'm not silent.
As much as conservatives-especially fiscal conservatives-like to carp about the leadership of Bob Dole, he was-on balance-one of the most principled advocates for his party, specifically, and I'd even argue the conservative philosophy, in general, that has ever served in the U.S. Senate.
From his vigorous effort at the beginning of his career to offer the free market alternative of Elder Care, in lieu of LBJ's adventure into socialized medicine for retirees, to his unstinting support for the state of Israel in its relentless battle against Islamic terror states, to his fierce advocacy of reform for the entire underlying structure of AFDC-while being entirely cognizant of the fact that this welfare reform, with the signature of Bill Clinton, would have a distinctly negative impact upon his presidential campaign that year-to perhaps his most impressive achievement, completely stopping HillaryCare dead in its tracks, there was never a moment when Senator Dole shirked his duties to either his party or his country.
I think that a lot of people too often mistake comity for complaisance.
The fact that he enjoyed cordial relations with his colleagues-even those, like George McGovern who held obnoxiously leftist viewpoints-does not mean that he was a pushover.
Not in the least.
-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)
Where have you been? Frist is not running the show, McCaniac and Bird brain are along with the 12 other "moderates" translation: traitors in sheeps clothing. Frist is GUTLESS and so are the rest of the republicans! He also said that all of the president's nominees should receive an up or down vote! With this "deal" that is NOT going to happen.
Exactly. The other 86 are really stupid to permit this little faction to rule, but, since the democrats are the minority, their lefties like Schumer, Boxer and Leahy are most pleased to see the GOP gelded.
I'm beginning to wonder if casting the nuclear trigger as being in GOP hands wasn't a deliberate setup, to permit the DEMs to save face while losing their asses. Plus, the GOP squishess are going to get an earful. Good chess, if somebody was looking that many moves ahead.
Bob Dole gave us TEFRA in 1982.
I'd like to smack DeWine so hard, that his glasses break over the bridge of his nose.
Well, according to a former Daschle aide, Graham was quick to work with Daschle and the minority on a number of issues. After one such meeting, Graham emerged from Daschle's office, walked to the door, turned around, and proclaimed loudly for the Daschle's entire staff to hear:
Except he won't want to make the loyal Republicans pay, but I do think he should recess the appointments the other would deny. I do think in every way imaginable he should make these seven feel Hell on earth.
Please, you overestimate the intellegence of the Republicans and those running the so-called republican "Party".
McCain .................... cannot ever be trusted on anything.
