The Gunfight at Not-OK Corral

No, I didn't like McGovern better, but that doesn't change the fact that Nixon had some liberal policies. I prefer Bush to Kerry, but that doesn't mean I'm slavish in my praise of all things Bush. Try thinking past the party line. You may learn something. It isn't an all or nothing situation.

Chafee and his family live in Virginia.

As far as I know, he's rarely to never been here since he was elected. I watch for news of his coming because I'd like to FReep him, the traitor.

He is commonly referred to as the Senator from Virginia here in Rhode Island by those of us who despise him.

A commmon joke is if we have to have a senator from Virginia can't we at least have a real Virginian.

Owen was not voted down and only Chaffee actually voted against her. Will you admit you were WRONG after each of the three is confirmed, or do you just want to do it now and get it over with?

"WTF? We just had seven defect. And don't forget that blubbering nitwit, Voinovich. That's eight. If Scottish Law can somehow be made to apply, throw in Spector. That's nine. Don't forget everybody's favorite Joe Biden impersonator, Chuck Hagel. That's ten.

Hello, McFly? I could easily see six of those ten stabbing us in the back again. I've already seen seven.

Heck, the gentleman douchebag from Rhode Island D.C. was so eager to prove what a maverick he was, he went ahead and voted against the first nominee that got a vote under this cockamamie deal."

Unless I no longer understand written English, your post states that you could "easily see six of those ten stabbing us in the back." Am I to take that as meaning you disagree with my prediction that Pryor, Owen, and Brown would all be confirmed, or just that you wouldn't be surprised if it happened? If indeed all three are confirmed, you would be "WRONG" about seeing "six of those ten stabbing us in the back", whether you meant it as a prediction or not.

What about the other seven nominees? I would not be "WRONG" if they are filibustered, and that is entirely possible, nay, it is probable, for the reasons I stated.

At no time did I assert, or even imply, that the three nominees who were the subject of the compromise would be filibustered.

So, I have no idea what you are talking about.
