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)
Are you listening to this idiot congressmen on Cavutos show
He WON’T back up Reid and say the war is lost and dodges Neil when he directly asked him again
Then the idiot says the iraqis aren’t doing enough
Neil says .. Congressmen .. they are losing 100 people a day .. isn’t that enough
And this moron congressmen says .. THEY NEED TO DO MORE
They really need to throw out their talking points
So TWO republicans is now bi-partisan???
Do they even listen to themselves?
I can just imagine the NPR story...
LOL...in Dem propaganda...I think 2 GOP senators voting with them signifies the WHOLE party as being like them.
Remember, in his speech before the vote..Harry actually said that “MANY” Senators from the other side WOULD have voted with them...but they can’t “right now”.
Apparently not .. they are too busy repeating the talking points
Okay...I am confused...on the main page at C-span it says they are showing tonight’s DNC debate.
BUT, when I go to the schedule page, I don’t see it listed.
I can’t say for sure then if they are going to have it..
LOLOLOL...I have to tell you though...I turned to MSNBC, and they have ALL black people behind Tucker Carlson..and in one hand they are holding OBAMA signs..and in the other, they are holding signs that say MSNBC!!!
LOL
I checked it out.
It’s a circus. Edward’s has a campaign manager who is nicknamed “Mudcat”.
Did you read yesterday that Sen. Mikulski is going to be a co-chairman of Hillary’s campaign???
Her wattle under her neck will entertain the dem troops..
Headed out for the afternoon.
Just read Lieberman’s speech — Wow!
I’ll be back to read your play-by-play this evening. Thanks. :-)
Remember, they are playing right into Rove’s hands. And Tony will be back next week to exploit that. :-D

Everyone else has already linked it, but for the benefit of any readers we might have who don’t read other right-wing blogs, here you go. Alternate headline: “Media outraged at military for not doing more to prevent media’s awful journalism.”
Great work by Ray Robison, although I wouldn’t go so far as to accuse them of inventing the source. They’ve been taking dictation from leakers with agendas for years now, occasionally with tragicomic results. Why should it be any different in this case? The only unusual thing here is that the leaker was pro-war, not anti.
lol...I am surprised
Thanks for the pings..Mo1.
I am watching this Debate....and I have to say...that afterwatching for 30 minutes I am LESS afraid than I was before about the dems winning.
The answers I have heard so far...are ridiculous to say the least.!!
THAT puts me in a good mood.
“They want to get Rove to do what Gonzo did today...and then Cheney, and then Bush.”
You are spot on.
“In the meantime, we get to watch the Senate grow the government some more”
It’s what they do, and they’ll blame the bush administration for the future tax increases, round and round we go ;)
