We MUST not give up on this.... Keep the pressure on YOUR Senators to bring this vote to the FLOOR for a vote by the FULL senate !!!
DO NOT allow Sen. Leheay and his fellow LIBERALS on the Judiciary Committee to prevent this vote from going to the floor!!!
Advise and consent means 100 Senators not 10 !!!
Only after the Senate has had sufficient opportunity to bring the nominee to a vote by the entire Senate.
When they stop fielding candidates like Pat Swindel and Guy Milner, we will.
Of course Leahy NEVER does that, OOOOHHHHHH NNOOOOOOOO!! It's just that leaky Leahy's beliefs are different from Pickering's. Hypocritic goon!
Right. He doesn't look at them through a political prism, he looks at them through a political peep-hole -- and he shoots them down with a political laser.
This is Clinton's Legacy -- even awkward, hopelessly un-slick putzes like Leahy feel "empowered" to play the "what 'is' is" game.
Yo, Patso -- some folks should stick to the truth. You're no Clinton. You can lie, but not with aplomb. Frankly, you lie like a cheap rug. You make a good liar like Jack Webb would have made a good Disco King. If you had a dick, you'd be screaming in pain from having just stepped on it with both feet.
The 'rats will sometimes be reasonable and cooperative -- until they get the upper hand. Then all bets are off, and only a fool would trust them further than he could spit a mouth full of sand on a dry day.
The tragedy is that the Republicans continue to let the patronage machine run the sorry-assed losers to the top, so that they can bring the Marquis of Queensbury rules to a streetfight, and "lose like gentlemen".
Oops, nope; it's Terry "Brundlefly" McAuliffe!
"If you want third-party votes, earn them."
Hahahahah, funny guy!
If you want third-party legislators -- whose votes can be "earned" -- then you should elect them!
Let me guess? You're a Libertarian, right? Only a Libertarian could be that obuse, and completely miss the point, and then start a vicious volley of return fire, shooting every blank in his arsenal.
Dang, that was probably too subtle for you. Sorry.
Here, let's try the "for the literal-minded" version: how the flamin' f' is he supposed to "earn" the votes of nonexistent third-party legislators?
And L's wonder why they're told they've marginalized themselves into irrelevance...
Tut-tut, my good man, that would not be very sporting of us, now would it. Such things are simply not done in the Country Club. Remember, we are the Grand Old Party. There are more important things than winning. We prefer to retain our honor, even if it means losing. For if we lose, we shall lose like gentlemen.
Now brush up on your manners, young man. And don't forget to send more money!

Sign PETITION to SUPPORT Judge Pickering...
CLICK here for "Mail Blaster" .. E-mail ALL U.S. Senators/Congressmen, and a variety of NEWS organizations in a single easy step..
Let them know that Judge Pickering deserves a vote of the FULL Senate UP or DOWN by ALL 100 Senators...!
Then PRINT the entire Petition and FAX it to YOUR 2 Senators !!
I'm supposed to vote for Republicans, because then Republicans would have the Senate (again), and then Pickering would have been confirmed.
Pickering would have had a much better go at it had the Lottians in the Senate not been so incompetent (e.g. "Dur, ya think we shoulda had one a them thar war rooms and done sum investigatin' and maybe start speakin' up a little bit before the night before the hearin'?") I suppose that the Republican-controlled House and Republican President Bush should get kudos for all the big government crap they've advanced in the last year? Nope. The GOP is abandoning, en masse, our Constitution and the few of us who actually thinks it means exactly what it says. I'm not going to vote for cowards who are selling out conservatives.
A 'Perfectly Pithy' BUMP for that
