Wasn't Warner almost defeated-in a Republican primary-by a former OMB official from the Reagan administration?

It seems like he abandons principle the minute that he's out of political danger.

The United States Senate is simply a hundred ladies in waiting. Of course some are just ladies and long ago gave up waiting, Bobby "KKK" Byrd and Orrin "Church Lady" Hatch come to mind. But the Pubbies have the ladies to take Hatch's place such as Mikey DeWine who is a dead ringer for the guy who played the geek in American Graffitti. And of course, the Democratic bench is very long because they have all the Rinos sitting with them. There may be 12 Senators in front of the camera, but if you are quiet you can hearing the sound of 88 gutless senators sighing louder than Al Gore at a presidential debate. The Senate is an utter disgrace albeit a bipartisan disgrace.

Don't even joke about that. Hillary's vengence upon repubs will be downright bloody.

Quite frankly .. neither one of them are FIT TO BE PRESIDENT.

I am sick of hearing this saves the Senate. What is does is take power from the President. Democrats won in my opinion. I am tired of support Republicans, I vote for them, I gave (note the tense) money to get them a majority, but they can't handle power.

McCain is a boob and my opinion of John Warner has gone lower than dirt and DeWine as well. The other's are Rino's.

I'm disgusted.

And if so, what exactly did the RATS get out of this?

They get to delay the Byrd Option until they have a better argument to make.

These twelve have only agreed to work together in the sort term. Suppose this comes up again when Rehqnuist retires?

McCain, John - (R - AZ)
(202) 224-2235


Shep Smith said that the reason Democrats were willing to work with McCain was because he didn't care if he upset the base. They could work in "good faith" with him.

Now Harry Reid is on in an advertisement in Arkansas talking about the filibuster. I guess they had time to make an ad before they reached a "deal". PUKE!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right, Karl. But for the raving left lunatics.

I just can't understand this "compromise." No "senate" basis. Democrats have abused the fillibuster, yet our side caves?

LOL!

On Fox News right now they're running an ad from Reid attacking all ten Judges, three of whom they've just agreed to confirm.

Heh.
