EVERYONE SHOULD BE WATCHING C-SPAN2

C-SPAN2 ^ | January 14, 2003 | THE BELOVED DEB

[Deb]

The Democrats are in the process of shutting down the Senate to stop the GOP from chairing Senate hearings.

This is going to be two years of total war. Let's see if the media notices!

[marajade]

Because the Dems only gained 51 seats when a Republican left the party and became an independent... The Republicans won a majority by election in 2000 and in 2002.

Lott decided that since it was 50-50 they decided to split everything half and half. The Dems decided against another reorg resolution when Jeffords switched... that's not the Republicans fault...

[GraniteStateConservative]

No, Hatch was only considered if we lost in November. We was our "safe" pick.

[colorado tanker]

I think that he might get a nomination to be CJ if Scalia doesn't want it.....

I think you're right.

[Samurai_Jack]

GO GREGG!!!!

HooRah!!!

the RATS are 'fundementally undermining the constitutional form of government' SLAP THEM IN THE FACE WITH THAT!

[Timesink]

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson apparently intercepted an e-mail from Daschle to the other RATS dated Jan. 2.

Where can we get a copy of this letter?!?

[GraniteStateConservative]

Gregg has been in elected office here since before Reagan was president. He didn't just fall off the turnip truck.

[MindyW]

Frist needs to submit funding for 2/3:1/3. After the Dems filibuster for a few hours, resubmit funding for 3/4:1/4. If they filibuster again, resubmit funding for 7/8:1/8, etc.

I like your thinking! hehe

[swheats]

Taken from Roll Call:

...If they can pick up additional seats in the elections, Democrats expect to dispatch with their previous diplomacy when Sen. Jim Jeffords (I-Vt.) gave them the majority in June 2001. A senior Democratic aide said that was an "extraordinary circumstance" that forced them to continue under an even funding deal for committees.

"If we pick up a seat or two, Ithink it's without a doubt we'd go back to two-thirds/one-third," the aide said, using the in-house phrase to describe normal funding levels that gave the majority up to 67 percent of committee money.

Don't you just love when these "Rats" speak in that oh so pleasant voice?Like Reid is doing now? Daschle does the same thing...oh so phoney. They're evil!

[mathluv]

You are very lucky to have him as a Senator. I have been fortunate to have Phil Gramm. Maybe I should say - REPUBLICANS are very lucky to have him. He needs to be on some of these talk shows.

[PhiKapMom]

Have always liked Sen Gregg! Called his office and told them that this Oklahoman appreciated what he was doing!

[ken5050]

I'm not following you....can you elaborate?...UTAH Gov is GOP so the seat is safe......Bush will get 2 SC nominations this year, I believe....and some of the candidates may need a little seasoning.....a little time in grade.....and a bigger Senate majority......I think if the CJ really wants to step down now.....W would name Hatch.....

[ken5050]

Reid deserves a job as a radiation level tester in the new Nevada disposal site....

[Political Junkie Too]

Now Reid is asking "What are they afraid of?"

-PJ

[LisaFab]

Ken, could you or someone else give us lazy latecomers a recap of the Rats latest ploy? Am watching now, Gregg was great!

[surrey]

The folks in Nevada have got to get rid of Reid.

[colorado tanker]

Don't you just love when these "Rats" speak in that oh so pleasant voice?Like Reid is doing now? Daschle does the same thing...oh so phoney

Yeah, kinda like HAL the computer. Bill, Bill, don't do that Bill, I can feel my power ebbing away, Bill, Bill . . .

[TLBSHOW]

Did I just hear Reid say "the elections of last November do not matter!"

That is a keeper!

[Charles Martel]

"WE WILL HOLD UP PRESCRIPTION Medication Legislation" - U.S. Senate Democrats, January 14, 2003

That'd make a sweet billboard campaign, especially in places like Florida.

[GraniteStateConservative]

He's Chairman of HELP-- rather than Ted Kennedy.

He'll be a major spokesman for the medicare changes and the prescription drug benefit. Tort reform may fall under here, too.
