On Washington Journal this morning some liberal was going on and on about John Bolten's wife left him without notice in Austria in 1982, and something about a club he would frequent.
They really are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Those who survived the San Francisco earthquake said, "Thank God, I'm still alive." But, of course, those who died, their lives will never be the same again. -- Sen. Barbara Boxer, (D, Calif.)

There are good reasons to call her "Box-O-Rox". She's no brighter than Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-MARS).

Voinovich has enough info to cast his vote. He sounds like he's still wavering.

[Eagle of Liberty]

Why? You know what they are going to say. It's just a matter of what the RINO's do. That may definitely require medication.

Oh, Gosh. Voinovich has reservations.

[SolomoninSouthDakota]

Will vote on the big picture, has plenty of timeley info. BUT has a big concern!!

[maggief]

BIG concern?!?

[MamaLucci]

Voinovich needs to be thrown out of the GOP.

[Howlin]

His ex-wife has come out in support of Bolton within the last two weeks; she said -- and I quote -- "He's a great man."

[Mo1]

He just met with him this week????

Yep! .. he missed all the meetings

That was the reason he objected during the last committee hearing

[SolomoninSouthDakota]

Not wavering . He's going to vote against..(MY INTERPRETATION AT THIS POINT)

[West Coast Conservative]

Yep. I still think he will vote FOR Bolton. But he's a RINO of the worst kind.

[processing please hold]

Before this is over, I wouldn't be suprised if this goes to the courts.

As it should, but with our Supreme Court, that uses international law instead of our Constitution, I don't have any faith in them either.

[WI Conservative 4 Bush]

Voinovich doesn't seem concerned about reforming the UN. Yikes...

[Howlin]

But it's been three weeks since the last hearing -- if not more! Why wait till the last minute?

[Mo1]

Voinovich is talking about "Team Work" and how we all have to get along

Now he's talking about the troops in Iraq and the funding

Ummm .. what does this have to do with Bolton?

[SolomoninSouthDakota]

I believe he said big concern.

[Eagle of Liberty]

"He must meet the demand of changing the hearts and minds of the world body." Did Kerry write his speech for him?

[plain talk]

so why isn't this thread posted to breaking news, front page news or someplace where we can see it?

[Bahbah]

WHERE IS VOINIVICH GOING WITH THIS. MY BREAKDOWN IS STARTING.

[MamaLucci]

He's a globalist a$$hole.
