CSPAN ^ | May 24, 2005 | AliVeritas

[AliVeritas]

FReepers be prepared for surprises today.

[Mo1]

I hope it's not true also ... but something to keep an eye on

[LisaFab]

I heard earlier above that Saad and Meyers don't have majority support.

Think all of the 'big three' will pass.

[processing please hold]

ABSOLUTELY! MCCAIN IS A TRAITOR! FRIST IS A GOOD MAN!

Agree 100%

[defconw]

Cleveland, born in Columbus, parents from Toledo, I went to school in Youngstown and my parents now live near Findley. Lot's of relatives and friends in Ohio and I have only lived in Indiana a few years, I may move back just to vote against DeWine!

[Sacajaweau]

I'm sure their is a disclaimer in the agreement...An "I promise" but.....

[TNdandelion]

I can't say the same. I just fired off an email to him holding him "professionally" responsible. Where is the Rep leadership?

I'm sick of voting for Demcrats via the Republican Party!

If I could afford it, I'd send every R-Senator a keychain with a spare pair of chrome balls on it for when theirs shriveled up when facing off with the Dems!

[linn37]

Chafees on Fox saying theres always been a right to filbuster judges,that the Presidents choices are polarizing...... I really do not like that man. He is a detriment to his party.

[defconw]

McWorm! LOL

[not-alone]

Chafee was just on FOX talking about preserving the right to filabuster. He needs to go.

[johnb838]

I've spent so much time at FR that I have to resist telling friends to "Ping me" instead of "Call me."

When I'm reading an article either in a magazine or any other website I find myself composing my comments in my head, then am frustrated when I realize I can't post my response.

[onyx]

Yes, it's true, at least Lindsay mentioned SS and the cabal's intention to see what they "might come up with."

Just think of the glory in that for McCain.

[You Dirty Rats]

ABSOLUTELY! MCCAIN IS A TRAITOR! FRIST IS A GOOD MAN!

To those Freepers who are (understandably) furious but who are directing their anger at Frist, be advised that this is EXACTLY what Reid and McCain want! They are trying to split the Republican base! They want the dedicated people who have worked so hard to overcome the obstructionist 'Rats who have usurper power in the courts to lose heart and quit.

Well, I for one am never going to act French and surrender to the likes of Reid and especially McCain. OK, so seven traitors have run out on us like rats. The remaining 48 needs to close ranks and we need to channel our anger into making these new 'Rat bastards pay!! DeWine, you are first on the list pal!!

[johnb838]

Didn't McInsane just get re-elected last fall?

[TheForceOfOne]

The MSM is cheering these marauders, that has to be a bad sign. I think McCain and his band of brothers need to be thrown overboard. I think the voters will be vengeful in 2006 and 2008.

[STARWISE]

SEPARATED AT BIRTH?

[defconw]

I know you won't hear me on this, but be patient with Frist, PLEASE?

[RoseofTexas]

Where is Chafees from? Sorry, too many senators to keep up where there from! :[

[maggief]

Dopey DeWine

Grumpy Graham

Doc McCain

Happy Collins

Bashful Chaffee

Sneezy Snowe

Sleepy Warner

[ShowMeMom]

I'm sure their is a disclaimer in the agreement...An "I promise" but.....

Yeah, "I promise, but I've already proven I'm not loyal to anything or anyone except my own political ambitions, so if it becomes expedient for me to turn on your guys, of course, I'll do, as would you."
