As requested, a thread to follow the filibuster.

[Miss Marple]

I see that you and I remember Hillary's tin ear! LOL!

[Sacajaweau]

How will Frist handle it??

He seemed to handle the last "Hillary" card pretty good. SHE made press claiming victory which was later shot down as one big fat lie....And the Republicans "took it home".

[Inspectorette]

Ha! I'm getting Rush on a live feed, and Reid was sputtering about his family running around buying duct tape and plastic sheeting, and how dare the Republicans use the term "Weapons of Mass DEstruction".

[PhiKapMom]

Guess the RATs won't be counting on donations from LULAC members for the 2004 races. Leaky Leahy should have been removed from the Senate a long time ago. He gets removed from Senate Intelligence Committee for leaking and they put him on the Judiciary? Something is wrong with that picture!

What is with Vermont? We have Leahy, Traitor Jeffords, and Sanders representing the state with Dean running for President.

Did I hear right
Is Leahy taking cheap shots at Hatch?

[nicmarlo]

What a waste of taxpayer dollars this is! And for what? To give Republicans more Hispanic votes in the end!

How can the Rats think this could, at all, help them to be seen as FOR minorities? Powell, Rice, two blacks who have esteemed positions; the Secretary of Education, another black; Miguel Estrada, again, another minority appointee by Bush......why do minorities, who have never seen any Rat appoint any minority to any highly held office, continue to vote for Rats????? It's unbelievable, truly unbelievable.

[PhiKapMom]

I think it must be right because Sen Kyl wanted to make an announcement and Leaky Leahy wouldn't yield unless he was assured he could get back his time to speak!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Leahy: "Lie, lie, blah, blah, lie, spin..."

We should thank Sen. Ben Nelson and Sen. John Breaux for resisting the corrupt Borg Dems. whose only goal is to obtain POWER.

[Inspectorette]

What is with Vermont?

Liberal stupidity - The same as my state, California: we have Grayout Doofus, and the twisted sisters, Boxer (ugh)and Feinstein. Not to mention Bela Pelosi.

[BreitbartSentMe]

Okay, excuse the stupid question, but I think they stopped debate last night and started it again this morning? How does that happen? Is there a vote taken to suspend debate for the night? I think the Republicans should try and make them filibuster 24 hours a day, with no shower breaks.

[nicmarlo]

Then there's NY: The evil twins: Hitlery and Schuuuuumer.

Interesting note from WRC News this morning Hispanic Leaders Express Support For Estrada

Members of the League of Latin American Citizens and the Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans joined top Senate Republicans in support of Miguel Estrada.

[PhiKapMom]

I was just going to ping you on the same thing. We have talked about that before. This whole deal makes no sense at all. I could have understood Pickering being treated like this but to do it to Estrada -- cannot figure out.

For some reason Hillary has drawn this filibuster up and these RATs are following her off the plank.

Gotta love it even when it doesn't make sense!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Well done! I spent the morning calling Senators. The Florida weasels refuse to committ. Ask them why, after over 600 days they won't take a stand?

The Republicans have yet to fire their ammo,
believe me it is coming.
The Univision ads are starting in Ind., Ga.,
and Wash. DC. More states to follow.

Woo hoo! Thanks for the info. (^;

[Wait4Truth]

Thanks! Should be good!

[nicmarlo]

these RATs are following her off the plank.

Liberals are all lemmings.....have no ability for independent thought....how similar to communism, no individuality is allowed.

[11th_VA]

The Univision ads

North Carolina as well ...

[Petronski]

Only a HazMat robot could safely get close enough to Hillary! to launder Ol' Crusty.

[Sacajaweau]

Boxer, Feinstein & "Bella Pelosi".

Brilliant!!!
