[Howlin]

As requested, a thread to follow the filibuster.

[ez]

What action makes all this cra* stop and forces a vote??

The disgust of the American people.

[tractorman]

I said this on another thread.

Daschle and his merry little band of traitors should start their own rock band. I can hear it already.

"And now live from the Senate floor, Puff Zappa and The Weasels of Invention"

I believe he was working for Ted Olson at the time he argued before the supremes. Hitlery was the only senator to vote against confirming Olson.

Can you believe the gall it took for Hillary! to make the following statement reported in today's NY Post:

"Time and time again, this administration is proving itself to flout the rule of law, to be very concerned with secrecy, unwilling to share information with the elected representatives of the American people," said Clinton.

The death he is eulogizing is the death of the Democratic Party. I can't believe they are committing Hari Kari right before our eyes. History in the making.

Sen. Byrd just crossed the line, accusing us of sending troops into Iraq on no more than a flimsy dislike of Saddam. His comments will probably show up on Iraqi national TV tomorrow. Grrr!

[hobbes1]

Hey, thats a Slur on the man that wrote that wonderful ode
to Big Sky Country!

[spokeshave]

"And now live from the Senate floor, Puff Zappa and The Weasels of Invention"

fronting for Blix and the Inspectors

[mware]

What the hell did he just say,"We never know what is happening, what is happening, what has happened?"

[BreitbartSentMe]

Maybe you should just keep talking in your next message on the machine, just continue where you left off. Keep calling back and doing that, and explain that since the Dem's are filibustering the vote, then you are filibustering his answering machine!!

It's about time that someone is questioning our alliances with corrupt entities that are anti-American. My hats off to Bush to shake up a few things.

He's finding out who's for us and against us. Bush didn't come to Washington to make friends it would appear.

[KingPin]

Is that a bottle of Jack Daniels on the side of the podium?

[11th_VA]

make them talk forever! I read an article that Senator Frist stays up all night one night a week so it will be easy for him!

He did go to Med school - probably worked 20 hour shifts when he interned.

"Time and time again, this administration is proving itself to flout the rule of law, to be very concerned with secrecy, unwilling to share information with the elected representatives of the American people" UNDER Clinton.

[RamingtonStall]

I think Byrd just said he "don't give a Sheet" about Sadaam!

RamS

[Coop]

Is that a bottle of Jack Daniels on the side of the podium?

Are Teddy Kennedy's lip attached to it?

[aristeides]

This may turn out to be the first old-time filibuster the Senate has had since it started to be televised by C-SPAN. Senators could get away with a lot more when their antics couldn't be observed as easily by the public.

[KingPin]

What the hell is the idiot talking about? "No idea when and where the terrorist attacks may occur" He needs to go back to the woods running around in sheets.

[Mo1]

Had to stepp away for a few minutes

What did I miss?

[woodyinscc]

over/under on Byrd's turn at the mic: 10 hours

Anyone that bets under, is not of this planet,or just
woke up from a forty yr. coma.

[mware]

What did I miss?

Considered yourself blessed.
