It's nauseating.

Being lectured by a newbie who just signed up today is even more nauseating.

Frist had negotiations with Reid, he got reports, bits and pieces from the other sideline groups, but he was not consulted, and does not agree.

I really hope you are right and I appreciate your optimism but this has happened to our side so many times that I just dont trust that we, in the long run, will win this battle when the rinos stab us in the back time after time.

So do I! Frist is not a back stabbing vengeful fool!

Senator Frist, pull the trigger anyway! We would support you! McCain and the Cabel can go to hell.

3 up or down vote
silent on Saad & Myers
more people coming through with no certainty by this agreement.

Frist says that those 7 who make it through committee will be brought to the floor by Frist in regular order, if they are fillibustered, he will use the constitutional option.

I have a jar of tootsie rolls on my desk. The level of the jar is a bit low; the boss must have worked this weekend. :-)

Wolf Blitzer just announced that Priscilla Owen in meeting right now with President Bush and Sen. Frist, I believe he said.

Funny, I just seen on FOX, President Bush congratulate Ms. Owens and Ms. Owens thanking her fellow senators, standing next to the president. I assumed she got the job. But I can't find any mention of it here.

Somehow I don't think that Hannity would have been so hard on Hatch or McCain...they are his friends....

That's probably why Graham went on the air with Sean. McPain (the scum) is nowhere to be found.

I understand that philosophy, and it was so rabidly apparent when the "Queen of mean" Barbara Boxer was verbally abusing Condi Rice in the confirmation hearings. Condi did a gotcha on Boxer and got away with it because she is so popular and so smart and attractive,plus she is a female minority and Boxer was so over the top nasty(menopausally insane)is that a real word? Most nominees cannot get away with even raising their eyebrows against the nasty inquisitors.
