I think Senator Sessions R-Al should be on that list!!!
Makes me wonder what would have happened if Libby Dole had won the GOP nomination in 2000 instead of Bush.
But I agree with those who caution that Bush will probably try one more time before his Presidency is over. We must continue to be vigilant and not succumb to complacency.
She would have lost to Gore.
Well, I wouldn’t go that far....we’d have ended up with President Gore...and given everything thats taken place, and his public nervous breakdown....(shudder)
Really.
Woohoo! I'm emailing Senator Enzi to congratulate and thank him for this.
Bravo!
I’m proud for you..Wish we had him in GA.
The headline says four Senators and names them, but later the story names five, including Jim Bunning who was left out of the headline.
Senator Dole is LIDDY Dole, not LIBBY Dole. In fact, it’s said by those close to her that she hates to be called LIBBY. I don’t blame her. With the last name Dole, especially, that whole name would be nothing but a joke.
This has been corrected on this forum hundreds of times, but to no avail.
Also, I’ve told others dozens of times that she’s not a liberal. I never claimed she was EXTREMELY conservative on every issue, but I’ve been repeatedly proven right that a LIB she ain’t.
Now, ya gotta know that she’s representing the interests of her NC consituents, as well. That state has taken a gigantic hit what with cheap imports and cheap labor. She must’ve figured this bill would not only not fix the cheap labor problem but would worsen it, no matter what the bill proponents hoped it would do.
Shows she’s of a practical turn of mind, as well. The bill isn’t workable. It’s dreaming to assume the gov. could deliver even a fraction of what this bill promises. President Bush and others on his side continue to trust way too much in the federal government “big solution” compromise. Not Liddy.
At the same time, she’s a lady, NOT a neanderthal engaging in horribly crude and demeaning attacks on the President and others as so many have (not in the Senate, but among the base). In fact, hats off to Sessions, Cornyn, et al, for their guts AND their civilized conduct in this fight.
Good for them. My senators, Martinez and Nelson, are worthless.
“The way I construe this, Dorgan may have cynically {at the behestof Kennedy/Reid} to curry favor in his home state, but being assured {by K & R} it would fail. They were all snookered by the alert, tactically superior Republicans.”
When folks ask your religion, do you answer “Republican”?
You should.
Let’s remember, Mitch McConnell is the one who orchestrated this.
I don’t foresee this Congress, under Reid and Pelosi, taking on some of the major issues of the day ... Tax Reform, Immigration Reform, Social Security Reform, Medicare Reform, a viable Energy Policy just to name a few.
%%%%%
They can’t take on major issues because they never want to own up to accountability. They have a reflex reaction of blaming others for any failure .
But, in this case the Republicans really out foxed the Dems. And, assuming you’re not blind with rage toward Pubbies, you should rejoice at this fact!
Thank you! I was about to start hollerin’ about the Libby thing.
THANK YOU SENATORS!!
Doesn’t make sense. Some of the Senators were looking for a way out.
George Soros was funding a lot of these left wing groups and yet we had so-called Republican Senators siding with that EVIL, VILE man......Spector, Graham, McCain...et al....you are in big trouble at home. Siding and co-signing with Kennedy, another EVIL, VILE man has stained you forever.
