Over here .. there is a new thread for today

[PhiKapMom]

The President went to the House of Reps today and stood firmly by Estrada. I posted Hillary's comments from last night and . . . more talking going on!

[WSGilcrest]

Take a break. Osama shopped at Walgreens.

[PhiKapMom]

It was such a pleasure to watch Scarborough for two nights since I detest watching Greta and won't go to CNN. I will support Joe Scarborough anyday!

[Republic]

Hey girl! I sure did read that letter-yesterday-and I used it when I called Schumer's NY office this morning. ( got phone # from recording in DC office cause you can't leave that creep messages in DC office-at least not this A.M.) Think I posted about the calls I made today somewhere earlier on this thread....but girl....THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THAT LETTER----IT SAYS IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!! Kudos, babe! ( And yeah-I know, I know....too many caps! hehe)

[TLBSHOW]

RUSH LIMBAUGH PLAYING PRESIDENT SPEECH TODAY...

[Miss Marple]

Is he on the same time as Greta? I need an alternative, as I fear she is slipping into her pre-war persona.

[PhiKapMom]

I am originally from Ohio and Donahue started with a local show in Dayton a long time ago. My Mom couldn't stand him then so you can imagine what she thinks of him now! I can remember growing up with her wondering how anyone could go see his show in Dayton!

[Sacajaweau]

How many of these guys are willing to risk their seats?? for Hitlery?? She hasn't passed out the money yet, so I imagine they are hostage to her.

Do they make a break for freedom or remain as one of her pawns.

No one is indispensable and that includes her.

[PhiKapMom]

Joe Scarborough is opposite Greta on MSNBC. I didn't realize it until Monday when I was channel surfing after she had someone on I didn't like. There he was talking to Sen Lindsey Graham -- the interview was great!

Last night he had two House members on for Estrada including Biaz from FL and Weiner (sp) from NY and when the RAT spoke, Joe had the facts already to go to refute him. It was great!

[PhiKapMom]

Hard to believe they are following her off the plank. I posted her comments from yesterday that came from the Congressional record and linked them above.

The last paragraphs of her speech are beyond my comprehension that she could even think to make them.

There is nothing the woman won't say or do to foster her agenda! It is all about her!

[jackbill]

I just fax'd a letter to Sen. Mikulski informing her that there was a movement on an un-named Internet forum to punish the DemocRATs for their filibuster of Miguel Estrada. I told her that this movement was enlisting people to cross-over in open or blanket primaries in the Presidential primaries and vote for the Rev. Al Sharpton. And that those of us in closed-primary states will be changing our registration, just to vote in the RAT primaries.

After all, President Bush won't have any opposition.

This approach might be particularly effective against Senators who are running for President - Graham, Edwards, Kerry, LIEberman, and any others that might be considering it, like Biden, Dodd, etc..

[Miss Marple]

Thanks for the information! I will switch over and watch him tonight.

System is starting to get goofy again. I wonder if we are being hit by the peaceniks.

[Dog]

Give war a chance....:-)

[Dog]

MSNBC is quoting officials that the President will make a case for regime change..

[Huck]

Besides, all we are asking for is a vote. I didn't ask them to confirm Estrada. I asked them to oppose a filibuster and support an up or down vote.

[justshe]

Howlin is STILL writing thank-you notes, she told me. Do you know, did President Bush call her or send her a personal note?
