Yep, tell the Rats we are using their filibuster to raise gobs of soft money for the RNC--

"Make the Rats pay, give the RNC a dollar a day" for every day the filibuster goes on.

Schumer:

• I'd vote for a mainstream conservative, but Estrada is far to the right.
• White House doesn't like independence of Greenspan
• I like tax cuts
• Wants to bring up sense of the Senate resolution to calm the market. Issue of great importance..and my colleague just objected.
• I'll be glad to debate, but no new arguments---Time to move on

Burns says proper people are not on floor to debate Greenspan

"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"

Yes! It was really good. He also had Sen. Chambliss on and he was great. I watched him in his debate against Max Cleland and I knew he was a winner!

I think MSNBC has seen the light on their low ratings,
and is going where the market place demands.

Earth to Chuckie:

Besides Iraq/war on terror, which the President probably spends HOURS a day on there is a thing called DOMESTIC politics.

Domestically, Estrada IS the #1 issue!

[ken5050]

Ya know...if Frist called Mary Landrieu and told her she couild have a seat on the Armed Forces committe if she switched to the GOP.......hmmm?

[kcvl]

Listen to this BS..

[Eva]

Don't count on Sharpton, my guess is that he has already struck a bargain with Hitlery. He will run and run hard right up until the nominating convention, keeping the Black vote in line, then at the last minute, he will throw all his support behind Hillary.

[ken5050]

Lindsay has been purposefully low profile since he came into the SEnate, but he's starti g to find his voice and hit his stride...he's not used to being able to talk for more than 5 minutes at a time.....and just think, in less than 2 years he'll be the Senior senator from South Carolina...

[Howlin]

Is he lying?

What am I saying? Of course he is.

[Mo1]

I just tried to call Chuckie ... but I keep getting a recording saying all circuts are busy

[ken5050]

Suggest you start a Scarborough discussion thread tonite....I won't be on-line...

[syriacus]

Burns: You questioned Estrada 90 minutes and could have submitted other questions. Did you submit other questions?

Schumer: I didn't bother. He didn't answer my questions anyway.

Schumer admitting that Dem president's judicial candidates vote differently than GOP president's candidates.

Schumer is admitting he would vote against a candidate that did not agree with his point of view.

In other words Schumer can no longer hide behind his mother's skirts and say he is open-minded.
