I gotta agree with Pat on this topic.
Buchanan is an arse. Who cares what he has to say? Last I heard from him he was saying we should have been on Hitler's side in WW2. Nazi-loving trashbag.
BTW, doesn't "Mc" before a name mean "son of" or from the "family of". Wonder if this confirms that McCain is the son of Cain? The evil he's doing says oodles about him.
"He sure isn't going to get votes from the McCainiacs, who will do anything to thwart Bush."
In defense of the arrangement, Graham stated he would vote for rules change, if the dems default. I think he is not alone.
Overall I see it as having far more potential benefit for Republican party, than for the democrats.
It disarms the dems of a claim of "tyranny of the majority" and now places them in jeopardy of breaking the deal.
No similar downsides for Republicans; and most of the judges should get approved now, with prospect for pushing more through with rule change, if dems obstruct (break the deal).
That is my "big picture" take on these events.
Furthermore, I don't think that Sen. Byrd (who we learned today from his own lips "saved the Republic") is going to be telling W. who is acceptable for SC nomination. Somehow I don't think that a cowboy from Texas is going to take that kind of c*** from a sheet-wearing hillbilly.
5 years
He is real creep
In SC in 2000 John McCain brought in under-age students to the airport to bump his crowd for the TV media - He poured them kegs of iced Bud - courtesy of his wife*s family biz
Like Hillary - McCain goes for the result in any way he can
He is dispised by most in the Senate
I recall seeing the out-takes on TV when he attacked Maria Shriver verbally and viciously backstage in 2000 when she simply said hello and asked him a simple innocent question - McCain lashed out at Maria Shriver like a madman - thinking no mike or camera was live -
That did it for me in 2000 on McCain*s character and mental problems -
It*s what people do when they think nobody is looking - like Slick Willie and Monica in the Oval Office numerous times
Frist wants to pawn our mandate. NOT, it doesn't work like that!
Exactly. As far as these Executive branch appointments are concerned, the U.S. Senate is in the same place today that is was two weeks, two months, and two years ago -- with one key difference: three of those nominees are going to be voted upon.
None of the Republicans inspire me any more..They give up and let the dems walk all over them..
I agree Char that Senator John Bolton would be good,but how long before he turned everything over to the dems like the rest of the gutless republicans in Washington..Sorry but that is the way I am feeling about this now..When someone in Washington can show me that they are working for the American people then maybe I can have faith in them again..
I've ragged on McCain for years and am sick and tired of that egomaniac!
It's unfortunate that the AZ voters keep re-electing him:-(
He already sees Frist as the loser and last night was calling for Frist to announce the Nuke Option was still on the table.
Pat was about 8 hours late on that advice as Frist had ALREADY announced that on the Senate floor earlier that morning.
The only thing Frist didn't do was ask for a vote on the Nuke Option immediately. No need for him to do that until the Dems break the agreement which I'm sure they're going to do:-)
