LIVE THREAD: Estrada Filibuster DAY 2

http://www.freerepublic.com ^ | February 13, 2003

[Mrs.Liberty]

Edwards mentioned something about Estrada and his "fiery temper", but then said he was going to focus his time on Homeland Security, and how "this president" has failed miserably.

[Carolinamom]

A filibuster IMHO is a refusal to advise and consent.

And thus they are refusing to do the work for which they were elected. Recall, anyone?

[twyn1]

Just heard that caller too -- she was great -- commented on how they are calling Estrada "too white" while saying that Pres. Clinton was "the first black president" -- then she said (paraphrasing) -- What have they [the Democrats] done for me ? Everything I have I got by my own hard work ! I'd love to give her a hug for finally getting it !

Last night, Hatch said something about their being a mark-up in the committee for three nominees, and that the Dems were gonna filibuster that also today.....

[Mo1]

the lib dems should have asked for Clinton's med records too. They didn't. Was he too a stealth pres.?

LOL .. good point

[Mo1]

EDWARDS IS NOW TALKING!!

[Darlin']

You are absolutely right. They have to know that the White House, the Senate Majority (hehehe) and the public are all willing to hang tough. It will never end if we allow the Hillarycrats to set the standards for all future nominations. We will not allow that, not in this administration. It just ain't gonna happen.

John Edwards - speaking for the regular people who are sleeping.

[Inspectorette]

Edwards mentioned something about Estrada and his "fiery temper",

Hmmm..."fiery temper": isn't that a racist statement by Sen. Edwards? Would he say that about a white person, or an African-American? Is he prejudiced against Hispanics?

[Carolinamom]

Edwards alert. The local rag article which I referenced earlier involved a telephone man who gave Edwards some ideas for protecting institutional buildings. Now Edwards must be using these ideas as if they're his own. It figures.

[Darlin']

FOFLOL. Well, I don't what they did to his, maybe they removed it.

[gov_bean_ counter]

"fiery temper",?

Sounds like racial profiling to me.

[mrsmith]

Santorum? Sure it wasn't Leahy?

On February 10 Kyl quoted Leahy:
"On June 18, 1998, Senator Leahy said: I have stated over and over again on this floor that I would object and fight against any filibuster on a judge, whether it is somebody I have opposed or supported. ...
In fact, he also said a year later, on September 16, 1999: I do not want to get into having to invoke cloture on judicial nominations. I think it is a bad precedent. "

What a partisan joke Leahy is.

[ken5050]

Hillary won't run per se.....NO Dem will have a majority of delegates going into the convention....so, next summer, iuf IF, Bush's numbers are down, then you'll see a draft Hillary movement erupt, and the convention steamrollered....

[3catsanadog]

As in "hot-blooded Latinos".

[Mrs.Liberty]

Hmmm..."fiery temper": isn't that a racist statement by Sen. Edwards? Would he say that about a white person, or an African-American? Is he prejudiced against Hispanics?

Now now now...it is only racist when a Republican says it.

[ArGee]

Well, I don't what they did to his, maybe they removed it.

Doesn't matter what they did to his. A President who HAS A HEART will soundly beat him if he wins the Dim nomination.

And thank G-d for that!

Shalom.

"Everything I have I got by my own hard work ! I'd love to give her a hug for finally getting it ! "

Yes she is!
Rush is trying to track her down so he can give
her a lifetime, yes he said lifetime, sub. to the Limbaugh Letter!

I stopped watching and my outlook has improved immeasurably.
