You are apparently unaware that with McConnell recovering from open heart surgery, and another Senator's wife undergoing serious major surgery, WE DON'T HAVE THE VOTES.

This is a delaying tactic until we can get a full team on the floor.

I am SO happy to tell you that not only do you NOT get an "I told you so," but you are WRONG.

Who's the Senator that his wife is having problems? Do you know. I knew that Senators McConnell, Graham, and Kerry were out due to surgery...... Lautenberg is back.

It's Sen. Bunning's (Ky.) wife.

I am fully aware of the reasons. READ THE POSTS ON THIS THREAD. I didnt take long for the name calling to start.I was aware of some of the decisions Lott had to make. I am also aware of some of the decisions made by Dole. I dont go around calling people names ( queer,faggott,limp wristed,spinless,liberal, light in loaffers,) just to name a few because of some of the decisions that are made in the Senate.

I agree. There's nothing to gain by forcing the matter now. The President will be better able to apply pressure after the war. Meanwhile, the Republicans will use the issue to hammer on the RATS in Hispanic communities. Sen. Hatch just blasted them over and over about double-standards for Estrada.
