Bolton fails to get the 60 votes to invoke cloture. Dem filbuster is on.
It is time to finish the Donkeys.
Time to go "medieval" on the Rats.
Frist is bound by his word that the nuclear option was only regarding "judicial appointments."
Frist will not win on this one. I suspect the 7 Rinos are lined up with Voinovitch and will betray Frist. The WILL NOT vote for the nuclear option. Take that to the bank.
The Republican'ts fail to understand the RATs are waging a civil war against American values, against the Constitution (what is left of it, if anything), against the principles of our founding from our Founding Fathers, et al.
The Republican'ts keep talking like this is "just politics" but it is WAR. It is astounding that the spineless Republican'ts do not even know that war is being waged within this nation.
The two most dangerous words we have in our nation are "compromise" and "bipartisanship".
Where the Republican'ts made one of the biggest blunders of all time was when the caved-in on the filibuster issue, in great part due to a "threat" by the RATs to shut down the government. If the Republican'ts let the RATs shut down the government, even the clueless (that make up the majority of the people in this nation) would have pointed the finger at the RATs eventually for causing the Senate business to be shut down.
This is why the Republican'ts snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. This was one of the greatest blunders in history.
I would think that they are probably thinking " The democrats didn't proclaim that they were filibustering this nomination- that's the rule- they have got to announce it- they have to SAY it FIRST- they didn't do that so our agreement is still in effect- besides this wasn't a judicial nomination and besides THAT we can't do anything unless the Moderate Seven let's us, we can talk to McCain, the Senate Majority Leader, to see if were are ALLOWED to do anything"
Note to graham: How does it feel to throw your whole political life away, FOR NOTHING?
Frist is an empty suit, all hat and no cattle.
He will do naught, he is just the democrat's drop the pants, lube up and grab the ankles butt boy chicken shiite .
Feel better now? :>)
Actually...straightening my skirt and blouse...I do.
"You don't think they'll believe me?"
Nope. You are one of the good gals. The Dems wouldn't have you. LOL
"THE GOP NEEDS A NEW SENATE MAJORITY LEADER! PERIOD"
They have one, His name is John McCain and he abdicated his leadership to Harry Reid.
So much for the deal.
Frist cannot "nuke" them if he cannot count on Specter.
I often wonder whether some of our fellow Freepers are actually the incestious offspring of the simplest of simpletons over at DU, who have no purpose here other than to make the rest of us look stupid.
Yeah, but he's not a judge. Besides, if seven Republican senators were so anxious to avoid the nuclear "debacle," I'm not sure that Frist could get enough votes from the RINOs to pull it off.
The button is not there to push.
The Constitutional option was held open for judicial appointments at the beginning of this session. IOW, there was a place marker put in for it in this session's rules. To expand the rules to cover other appointments, it would take more than a simple majority to do what you expect.
You take the prize in this year's "Miss Naive" contest.
The Republican'ts are spineless and have no desire to fight for decency and common sense principles.
Conservatives have ZERO representation.
America is becoming a French-like, Canadian-like nation.
"THE GOP NEEDS A NEW SENATE MAJORITY LEADER! PERIOD"
What would somebody else do differently?
You think the 42 voters would behave differently with a different Republican Majority Leader? Dole? Lott?
Having said that, I don't see Frist as being much of a leader of anything, clearly not Presidential material.
He may be the last to know, however.
(But did saying all that vile stuff about him make you feel like a man?)
It's time the GOP gets a spine, down with McCain.
