Super report and effort by you and other FReepers!

I arrived about 12 midnight Thursday and stayed for about an hour as Sens. Lindsay Graham, Norm Coleman, and Harry Reid spoke.

When Dem Senator Harry Reid was speaking, I put my head on the wall just behind me. Within 20 seconds after closing my eyes, The attendent sternly told me, "Sir, you're not allowed to sleep." I opened my eyes and apologized, but left about 10 minutes later.

Reid seemed quite angry that the 'Pubs were forcing him to actually try to defend the Dem obstructionism. He kept it in check most of the time, but the anger clearly surfaced for one brief second when he contempuously referred to the 'Pubs doing the session for "right-wing extremists."

Considering myself as an unappologetic Reaganite, I thought that I was so extreme that my favorite recent president only get 89 states out of 100 in 1980 and 1984 combined. He beat his nearest opponent by ten percent.

Yep, I'm real extreme. And "out of the mainstream." Just like Judges who believe that the Constitution means what the founders intended and is not a contemporaneous judicial Rorshak "living document."

Heh! I'm proud to be extreme!

Watched a few of these speaches. Saw Chris Dodd's ridiculous speech and Barbara Boxer's. Also saw Santorum's quite impassioned speeches a couple of times. And Smirking John Breaux denigrating Saxby Chambliss for reading out of Zell Miller's book. Slime.
