Pouting? LOL
This is fury cyn. This is the reaction of a person that is through with it all. If you refuse to see what they just did, or you accept it as okay, that is your choice. I don't.
Lindsay. I'm very disappointed in him. If a serious Republican runs against him in an SC primary next year, I'll come down & pass out flyers or something.
LOL!! What's even worse is when you say you wish you could zot someone and they look at you like are speaking Chinese.
When cloture was voted on back on July 29, 2003, judge Owen got 53-YEAs, 43-NAYs, & 4- Not Voting.
NOW it's 81!!!!!
NOPE NO POLITICS THERE!!!
But Sarbanes was a no, I didn't write it down because I couldn't hear the name for sure.
Real Big Time! You Betcha!
That's what the NYTimes has been reporting, too, Brad. One (or at least I) worries if that's what people are willing to talk about publicly, there may be worse yet to be revealed.
I have just heard from excellent sources that a number of Hill reporters believe that there is an oral side deal under which two other very good men have been prospectively thrown overboard by the Republican 7, notwithstanding the "extraordinary circumstances" pledge: Kavanaugh and Haynes. If true, this would be the dirty deal of all time and a disgraceful surrender executed under cover of darkness. It would also be an ominous portent of how the written deal will be implemented in the future.
At this point, this is only rumor, but it's imperative for the press, the groups, and the Republican leadership to demand a flat, on-the-record confirmation or denial from each of the seven Republican signatories. Immediately. If there are terms of this deal beyond those in writing, the public has a right to know.
AZ is not too far from Texas! I think I'll go on over to help out who ever runs against McVain! Count me in!!!
Typical lib speak going on... judges -- spent enough time on them -- the people want health care, etc. Cripes.
True, but the "extraordinary circumstances" bar has been raised almost impossibly high by the fact that the three most 'extreme' candidates will have been given cloture.
In dealing with the US senate, is there any other world?
. It's done So it's done then. Owen will get confirmed. How could we let this happen? And why, if it was so close before, did 81 senators vote for cloture? Shouldn't it have been more like 61???
I reached my boiling point a few weeks ago and discovered a great "inspirational radio" station with music. I'm listening to it now, and my blood pressure (which I take meds for) has really come down in spite of this mess.
Right you are. No politics involved here. Just ask McCain, it's called "congeniality, TRUST and (gag) statesmanship!"
They are still confused and angry.
* Rick was forced by President Bush, we can't lose Rick, we need him! *
I agree! Rick is a good man and I support him.
Rush is saying Pickering is on the list that will be blocked
Cool, someone is blasting Rick for supporting Specter, but Bush forced him to Santorum is awesome I wish I could help him! I am next door to Ohio and I am watching DeWine!
LOL. Certainly not the context in which I meant it but you are welcome read into it what you'd like!
