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!

[RightWingMama]

These two arrogant b****es had better remember that there are a lot of Republicans in this state (hard to believe, but there are), and there are also a lot of independents who are getting fed up with the misinformation being fed to them by the lamestream media .

AMEN!

[spokeshave]

Has corum call finished....whats going on (or not) for us cubilce bound.....?

[Peach]

Will do first thing tomorrow a.m. The Dems are shameless.

[LisaFab]

John Warner mused for about 20 minutes then back to quorum call. Hopefully more rubber-hosing going on in the cloakroom.

[mhking]

I just got home from work, and am faced with this quorum call. Please don't tell me that this is the same call from an hour and a half ago!

[RightWingMama]

Sorry, I'm stuck at work, too.

[LisaFab]

Just the usual BS Quorum Call to skip doing anything that will be reported on the evening news IMHO.

[OldFriend]

And I am quite sure I heard Joey LIEberman announcing his run for the Presidency and saying he would be ABOVE partisanship and be a 'different' kind of demonrat. Oh yes, he's a different kind of demonrat okay!

[Lady Eileen]

I did my duty and called Bill Frist's office and left a message. But I was disappointed to find that the phone recording was in English and Spanish. When will Republican realize they won't win by trying to out-pander the Democrats; all that will accomplish is to anger the Party's base?

[nicmarlo]

You might want to take a look at what the Rats have been up to today.

Thanks for the heads up, sweetliberty; I just got home, fixed dinner, and got online, just for a few minutes, then I'm leaving here in another few minutes.....I'm hoping I can see it later tonight.....otherwise, I guess I'm going to miss it.....I doubt they'll play it tomorrow? If I miss it, would you mind giving me the scoop? I peeked in FR a bit today, and followed a thread for a little bit about the obstructing senators....but that must have been in its beginning stages, then got too busy at work and couldn't read anything else.....so, I'm counting on some FReepers here to inform the unable to be informed one. Thanks!

[nicmarlo]

My Senators are Hitlary and Schuuuumer. I will get no where with them, she won't even return any e-mails I've sent......now, if I were in Colorado, my Senators Campbell and Allard ALWAYS responded to my calls and e-mails. ALWAYS.

[LisaFab]

Welcome to the Northeast :-) We fight the losing battle every day of our lives.

Just last night I was talking to a local (Stamford, CT hometown of Holy Joe Lieberman) Lib and he asked me which CT Pubs I support and I said NONE OF THEM for they are worse than RINOs.

That said, I phoned both LIEberman and Dodd and got polite, if confused replies.

[thepitts]

And if recent history is a guide they will get EVERYTHING they want.

[nicmarlo]

which CT Pubs I support and I said NONE OF THEM for they are worse than RINOs

Ain't that the truth! And thanks for the welcome. I plan to help get Hitlary out ... some way, some how. I hope Rudy runs....that'll help right there.

[LisaFab]

No, Rudy runs for Chuckie's seat in '04.

Hillary! will quit in '06 when her term is up in order to embark on a nation-wide 'listening tour' so that she doesn't have any recent votes to be held against her in '08.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I think Paul Sarbanes is going to have a thrombosis

Good.

[maica]

Senator Frist has just sent a motion to invoke cloture to the Chair. He is speaking now, hoping to pass the committee resolution and the appropriations bill tomorrow, now asking that the senate stand in adjournment until tomorrow am.

The House is in recess until the end of the month???

[ejo]

After a rather lenghtly quorum call, Sen, H. Reid is back with what sounded like a sheepish "Mea Culpa"?

[jackbill]

Senator Frist has just sent a motion to invoke cloture to the Chair. He is speaking now, hoping to pass the committee resolution and the appropriations bill tomorrow, now asking that the senate stand in adjournment until tomorrow am.

Good for him. Take names and kick ass. Let the DemocRATs try a filibuster. Played right, the Republicans can win - big time.

[Carolinamom]

Just logged on...missed all the senate action....BUT will be firing up my cell phone tomorrow to make calls.

In closing down the senate (for tonight) Frist said that he was notifying ALL senators that there would be votes every day next week. They'll be crying before this is over.
