"Many Democrats have criticized Bolton, the top U.S. diplomat for arms control and an outspoken critic of the United Nations, as a hard-line conservative ideologue."
God forbid a conservative President be allowed to send an ideological colleague to the UN. Seriously though, isn't this demonization of everything conservative getting a bit tired? Can't the rats come up with anything more to say about Bolton other than simply stating his ideology in harsh terms?
Sounds good to me, no if only Karl Rove is lurking today.
personally I wanted to hold Bolton to force the Senate to get its act together and do their job.
But since they prefer to compare our military to Stalin, and question their honor as being up to the standards of self investigation...well, let's just say my opinion is rapidly falling back to my original position to bypass them.
To Hell with the Senate. Look at the rule books and find every possible way the Senate can be made irrelevent, then have Delay & Bush proceed in a joint effort to freeze them out.
BTTT
Republicans in the Senate will finally stand up on their hind legs
He DID NOT vote for Cloture.
Thanks for letting me know, Ernest. Phone time again.
I have a hunch I'll be sitting with the $100 for awhile.
Recess appointment over the July 4th holiday is in order...
All presidents have used the recess appoinment, some more than others.
In recent history Clinton used it an average of only 9 times per year compared to 20 for Bush 49 and 30 for Reagan.
So let's go Mr President. Tell the Senate Dems to get on board or get out of the way.
better late than never...
W should have done this a long time ago...
same applies to the judges...he should have "recess appointed" them years ago!
Bush did recess appoint many judges over the past few years, but unfortunately not enough around here pay attention to details like that.
maybe you didn't get the memo but you are on the "do not respond" list.
Your dogging me from thread to thread for months with your personal jabs and insults has grown verrrrrry old...
Either find something or someone else to ride but get off my back
In other words, I once again showed your comments to be nonsense. And ticked you off in the process. ROTFLMAO!!

Pickering - recess appointment
You don't learn very quickly, do ya Devil Dog? See, here's the deal, my elder Californian. You post garbage on a public thread, I'm going to respond. No matter how loudly you cry or how quickly you run to pester JimRob and the mods.
This total includes more than judicial appointments, but it goes to show that these comments insinuating that Dubya hasn't done recess appointments simply don't fly.
Why? Because it would be considered torture?
Bush should have named Bolton via recess appointment 2 months ago. Now, even Pat Roberts is saying that to do so would send a "weakened candidate" to the U.N. Why the hell did he wait so long? Has he lost his backbone? Don't threaten the recess appointment, just DO it.
