What I wouldn't give to see that.

Actually, the Democrat "Virtual Protest" is today, and they are trying to get everybody to jam up the phones and internet system so nobody can get through.

That explains why Estrada nomination up so early - Dems were confident that this "VP" would come across as support. It's actually an orchestrated Martin Sheen/DNC waste of time.

Keep calling.

[hardhead]

My head is swimming with FRFacts.....I'm not sure if this has ever been posted, but we sure have to hand it to Judge Estrada for his courage, honor, and patience!

[PhiKapMom]

Just a reminder:

If you want to do your own email to fight the RATS Cyberattack today against the President, here are the email addresses for the President and Vice President:

President George W. Bush: president@whitehouse.gov


Vice President Richard Cheney: vice.president@whitehouse.gov

I made sure I put in my subject line -- LIBERATE IRAQI PEOPLE -- SUPPORT THE WAR AGAINST SADDAM

[McGavin999]

You mean the dems are planning to use Martin Sheen to destroy the Hispanic nomination? What will they say in LA when the latino community finds out that Martin Sheen participated in the attempt to destroy a latino nominee?

[syriacus]

Neat!! I hadn't seen that tie website before.

[michaelt]

Isn't it a nice touch that Bush is speaking to a Hispanic group this morning, as the Estrada fight heats up more?

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned much if at all is that with Iraq and the Estrada battle, the Bush administration is fighting two similar fights. Both Saddam and the Dems are being obstructionists, fighting against what is proper and right - our right to self-defense and the 17 UN mandates with Iraq, and the Constitution, executive branch precedent, and at least 55 votes to confirm, with Estrada.

And Bush is not going to back down from either.

The Dems don't realize that they are in a position similar to Saddam. They think they can talk and bluff their way around it, like they always have.

Like Saddam does.

But it ends here, for both of them.

(It better, anyway. ;-)

[McGruff]

Pres. Bush just hammered the RATS on this topic during
a live news conference.

That's not Martin Sheen, his real name is Ramon Estevez. The guy rejects his own hispanic name and now is an expert on hispanics? At least Estrada uses his real name.

Now I can go unload the dishwasher from last night -- Dorgan is speaking!

I solved that problem - I have a small TV in the kitchen. hehe

I RUN the diswasher or washer and dryer while someone I don't like is on!

[Inspectorette]

Howlin, thank you. Got meetings this morning - won't be able to check back in until this afternoon :-(

I'll have to catch up on 1000+ posts, but think I can handle it ;-)

[syriacus]

Dorgan just placed greatly enlarged copy of Washington Post article on easel. It is about "Over-worked death" of Chinese workers. "Working children death."

Indirectly blaming their deaths on fact that US imports so much more from China than China imports from us.

[Miss Marple]

Thanks for the picture! I bet the next step will be increased ads on the Spanish stations, and the Rats have really fallen into another trap! Heheheh.

Get this: I heard on Fox that the administration wanted to put someone on to answer some of Hussein's charges in that loser interview tonight...and CBS said they would ONLY accept President Bush. Clymers!

[syriacus]

Now Dorgan talking about our trade deficit with Canada. (But, not talking about deaths of Canadian workers).

[TontoKowalski]

Senator Dorkan certainly has a difficult time staying on topic doesn't he?

Isn't he up for re-election in '04.... Presidential year in North Dakota... he should watch his step.

[arasina]

His tie is made up of loose skin from Teddy Kennedy's neck.

ROFLTIG! (rolling on floor laughing 'til I gag)

[mombonn]

I saw a baseball cap at my hairdresser's several years ago - it said "I'm having a bad hair day" on the front of it. LOL, I didn't buy it, but wish I had!

[fightinJAG]

Like Hussein, CBS is granting moral equivalency to Saddam and Bush. No one less than the President of the United States is good enough to refute the Great President of the Great Nation of Iraq!

This is obscene.

[Poser]

Dorgan's hair is the wrong color.

Oh! He just turned sideways. It's a comb-over! A comb-over with a dye job... Hahahahahahahahaha!

I think I'll go to the Elvis room and clean my Bushmaster .223 DCM match rifle. It's not dirty but I won't be watching Dorgan.

[WSGilcrest]

Not to outdone by Sen. Hatch, senate democrats will soon be sporting the official Democratic tie to the conformation hearings:
