Thank you, OXENinFLA for putting together the below comments and links!

Since "Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.", I and others think it's a good idea to centralize what the goes on in the Senate (or House).
So if you see something happening on the Senate/House floor and you don't want to start a new thread to ask if anyone else just heard what you heard, you can leave a short note on who said what and about what and we will try and find it the next day in THE RECORD. Or if you see a thread that pertains to the Senate, House, or pretty much any GOV'T agency please link your thread here.
If you have any suggestions for this thread please feel free to let us know.
Here's a few helpful links.
C-SPAN what a great thing. Where you can watch or listen live to most Government happenings.
C-SPAN 1 carries the HOUSE.
C-SPAN 2 carries the SENATE.
C-SPAN 3 (most places web only) carries a variety of committee meetings live or other past programming.
OR FEDNET has online feed also.
A great thing about our Government is they make it really easy for the public to research what the Politicians are doing and saying (on the floor anyway).
THOMAS where you can see a RECORD of what Congress is doing each day. You can also search/read a verbatim text of what each Congressmen/women or Senator has said on the floor or submitted 'for the record.' [This is where the real juicy stuff can be found.]
Also found at Thomas are Monthly Calendars for the Senate ,
Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats
And Monthly Calendars for the House and Roll Call Votes can be found here.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT (aka The Dept. of Defense)
YES...the MSM have purposely pushed up the campaigning time of the 2008 election to just after the 2006 vote..IN ORDER...to use their resources to frame the war, while helping the Dem candidates...have the benefit.
I have NO doubt that the MSM is determined to put who THEY want in the White House next year..they will continue to frame, skew, distort, lie....about the news to make that happen.
Lordy.
Yes...exactly.
Did you hear James Webb??
He gets on his high horse about how the GOP shouldn’t be so mean...but he actually said that the POLLS and the polling of the TROOPS show that they want the DEMS plan!!
That guy is such an idiot...and then I hear Schumer say that Bush just hides in the White House and listens to a group of advisors but NOT the generals...
The are all lying out their rear ends...
I had to run out for a bit so I misses Webb.
You mean to tell me he lied /s
misses=missed :(
Yes, Bah...I am sorry to report that an elected Senator did stand on the Senate floor and told a whopper.
Bond is hitting them hard now..
Aw geez, Warner wants to tell the Iraqis when they can take a hiatus. Who says they won’t be working things out during that time?
OMG...she looked HUGH!!!
DiFi had some weird slow one word a second type speech.
Warner is OFF about how the Iraqi Parliement is taking 2 months off in July and August.
I have NEWS for him..these people are in danger 24/7...and in July and August it is 130 degrees outside...
I BETCHA HE would not be in Washington under those circumstances...
I just love their argument that Bush-the-Moron tricked them all! LOL
There’s got to be a T-shirt in there somewhere.
He is a moron ...but tricked them.
Hmmmmmmmmm.T-shirts are necessary..because a LOT of those people tricked by the Moron president are running for president...what does that make them??’
What is the step DOWN from moron?
clinton?
It rhymes. ;-)
Logic has never been a strong suit for the Kennedys.
That liar, traitor, weasel Reid just said that he has had “many from the other side that have told me we are RIGHT, but they just can’t back it now”...
I HATE these people so much...
I heard that.
It gave me an instant headache.
I would LOVED for someone on the “other side” to just shout out “name names, Harry”...
The dems did not get Snowe or Collins. Nice work, Mitch.
The piece of crap passes 51/46.
No surprise...Hagel voted with the rats.....who didn’t vote?
