This would be a Huge mistake for the dims.
Leave the post vacant and send a message to the UN that it is not important enough to us to justify a cabinet-level individual filling it. What they should have done in the first place.
BUMP!!!
Peace, Love, No War, Hug a Terrorist is the Dems plan
Someone help me out.
How do the Dems have a majority in the Senate when 2 of the members are Independents?
Granted, these independents may caucus with the Dems, but no one party has a majority in the Senate right now.
Yesterday there were cheers that this nomination would go right through as a result of some "deal" struck with the Dems and W. What happened to that sentiment?
This is fine except I really don't want B. Clinton over there running around in his self-assumed God-like posture, acting as if he can and will make determinations he has no legitimate authority to make; not that I think there is any way to stop him now.
Nancee
Pity if anyone actually believed that the dems would be anything but divisive and viciously obstructionist.
Why would they change now, they think all those nasty attacks got them something.
Lieberman and Sanders have stated they will caucus with the Dems. The Dems have a majority in the Senate. We lost, okay! Accept it. There are too many FReepers in denial.
Is this the petulence we can expect for the next two years? What exactly is the matter with Bolton - he's been ambassador for a year and as best as I can tell he's played well with the other kids and hasn't thrown anybody out a window or anything. Or do they just not like the mustache?
YES!!!!
That's exactly what needs to be done.
The goal should be to stop sending money to the U.N.
Resign from the U.N.
Back out of all treaties that have the ability to override our national sovereignty.
And for God sake, stop spending my money by giving it to other nations!
Well, I guess this means Bush will nominate Jimmy Carter to be our guy at the UN. Since ole Jimmy would be approved by the Dim Congress.
Dims are incapable of recognizing their own mistakes. That's one of the things that makes them so dangerous.
They are going to mess things up big time. I'm significantly reducing my equity exposure in the market; don't want to be left holding the bag in the aftermath of Dems screw-ups when they wreck the economy -- and everything else in sight.
It will be interesting to see what Bush does. He can still appoint Bolton to another recess, but will he totally cave?
What the Pubbies could do is nominate Lieberman for positon of Senate majority leader, even though he is Dem at heart, but as independent he would be in a position to play king maker and perhaps quash some those who back stabbed him. If the pubbies went 100 percent with Lieberman voting for himself, the Vice president could break the tie and Lieberman would become Majority leader over his other Dem rivals....though I'll bet some other Dems might actually join with Lieberman.
It would be interesting to watch the fall out!!
"Lieberman and Sanders have stated they will caucus with the Dems. The Dems have a majority in the Senate. We lost, okay! Accept it. There are too many FReepers in denial."
I had the same question that you just replied to. I do understand that Lieberman and Sanders will caucus with the Dems. So what you are saying is that they will vote with the Dems every time? I expect Sanders would, but as far as the war and funding of our troops, I would think that Lieberman would not vote with the Dems. Guess I'm wrong.:(
Now that is an interesting strategy.
Any of you Republican congressmen listening out there?
