WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen.

Kerry, in Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum, was marshaling support in phone calls during the day, Henry said.

Kerry is looking more and more like a dinosaur on his way to extinction both politcally and physically. Don't think Botox will help latter, either.

Considering what a disaster Kerry has been for the dems, it will be interesting to see if any of them take him up on his idea. I saw in the Boston Herald today that Ted Kennedy is joining him in calling for a filibuster.

My family just rolls their eyes b/c I've done the same. Glad to know I'm not the only one LOL
To: West Coast Conservative
Just reading the keywords for this thread I am laughing, LMAO. Thanks everybody! :-D
To: maryz
LOL ---- heck, don't be mad at me 'cuz one of my senators is "chicken little" Dayton.
I see the Kennedy has joined in ---- but in your state there is a no-brainer (no offense to you in the state that do have brains). Kerry & Kennedy would continue to be re-elected even if they murdered someone.
OH BOY ---- I think at least one of them already did !!!

Thank GOD for President Bush and his choices for the Supreme Court! Finally we have got one that matches better the average American instead of the loony Left!
Thank you Mr. President!

With this move Kerry reminds me of a scene from "Anchorman" when the moron weather man played by Steve Correll has nothing intellegent to add to the discussion so he just shouts, "loud noises", "loud noises".

So when are they going to vote?? I'm sick of this waiting. Hold the cloture vote, shut Kerry down, and let's get Alito on the Court. Someone call O'Connor and tell her to clean out her desk.
To: West Coast Conservative
I hear there are already 4 Dems on record to support Alito. What if enough Dems come out in support that there is no chance for a filibuster....wouldn't that make Kerry look awfully silly?

The Senate does this. They talk everything to death. Then they can say, well, come what may, we had plenty of "debate". But for your information, Frist already announced that vote on cloture will be Monday at 4:30 pm ET, and vote on the nomination will be Tuesday at 11:00 am ET. Fun, as that is the very day President Bush delivers the State of the Union Speech.

I'd love the possibility of another drunken midnight rant.Are you speaking about that midnight appearance in WV on the last evening of the GOP Convention? I could not believe that moron was allowed to go out there and make such a fool of himself, which is exactly what he did. I think even the MSM was taken aback by the total lack of good judgment on the part of Kerry's campaign to set up that last-minute appearance to steal some thunder from a terrific GOP convention, which they did not.
What a fool Kerry was/is! As for that night, he was either high on medication or had been drinking because there was absolutely nothing normal about that appearance...and such pandering to the good people of WV...I'm only sorry so many of them showed up in the first place.

He called our troops baby killers back in the '60's.
How many dead babies has he been responsible for while in the Senate?
It's all about the Abortion lobby money.
To: SoFloFreeper
Per Reid and Frist yesterday, it seems they have agreed to vote on Tuesday, January 31. This assumes the libDems can't muster some other technicality to delay or stop the proceedings.

It's my one and only New Year's resolution and I hope all Freepers will join me in it: The Hildabeast must be from now and forever referred to as MRS. BILL CLINTON.
The American people must be reminded that a vote for her is a vote for the same icky "two-fer" she and the Sinkmeister were selling back in 1993.
Want Bubba roaming the White House halls again, looking for love in all the wrong places? Then go ahead and vote for MRS. BILL CLINTON!
