Daschle single handedly rewrites constitution!

I've had mixed results with Best Western's myself. I've found excellent rates on Hotels via the Internet. Strange that I can often get rooms, even on short notice for 1/2 price vs. calling the same hotel on the phone. Weird.

I completely agree with your comments. All of American History is a rebuke to Hillary and her ilk, they are just too stupid to see it.

He's a little weasel

[ladyinred]

The President did say that the Senate should not be playing politics in his radio address. I think we know what he was talking about. So does that slimey Hitler wannabe Daschle.

And here I thought a minion of Hell would be a jackal. But a fierce rodent makes more sense than a member of the dog family. I like dogs.

He may be a Dashole, a weasel and a jerk, but whatever he his, he has something Trent Lott and most of the Republicans lack.

A spine, and two big brass ones.

Is that what our politics has been reduced to, just the threat of a filibuster and we all behave as if the filibuster actually happened? And not even the threat of a filibuster, just the possibility of a filibuster and they behave as if it already happened!

This cannot be allowed. They talk about Ashcroft trampling on civil rights -- this is nothing short of a coup de etat. Throw out the Constitution and representation and let one man decide the rules.

I try to avoid commenting on Newsmax articles, since they involve preaching to the choir, but this one deserves mention. Tom Dash-hole is the most worthless excuse for a "leader" in the Senate we've seen in a long time. The people of his state voted 2-1 for President Bush, and yet he, he continues to obstruct progess and compromise.

I hope Bush unloads on this self-important little man in the coming year, and I certainly hope he becomes as irrelevant to the legislative process as the Queen Mother is to Prime Minister's Questions.

The "R"s as a whole could grow 'some' or the President could simply tell Dashole, "look bud, any and every bill you bring to me is DEAD ON ARRIVAL!" Let Dashole try to get his 60 vote override for the Educashun Bill or well-fair, or mediscare.....

With the prez's popularity and apparent bully pulpit, he could pull it off.....

Nah.....I'm just dreamin....the GOP wouldn't have the guts to do anything like that....sheesh, they couldn't even vote to keep the non-essentials of government shut down! Limp-wristed wimps....

We must do what "Little Nepoleon" (Dash-hole) says.

Yassar Daschole needs something explained to him.

Did he really mail himself anthrax to get some TV coverage?

[newzjunkey]

I have to admit, I really hate this situation. No, I really mean I hate Democrat politics. The Dems know they're lying, obstructing and being hypocritical (they're not all stupid) but they have no conscience and therefore don't need to reconcile themselves with reality. All that matters to them is power.

The Democrat which engages in intellectual dishonesty and oratorical masturbation like our beloved Majority Leader Tom, must be vanquished at the ballot box. And, PLEASE, start now in trying to convince the Republicans to jetison the spineless, do-nothing Lott from any part of leadership.

"The R's need to grow a pair..."

You could've just stopped right there and remained dead-on correct.

[Rustynailww]

"and force these fillibusters to take place.".......force? from trent lott?...lol!

[Corporate Law]

Now that is insulting to weasels! ;-) (BTW, neat colored words in your post).

[classygreeneyedblonde]

lolol.....them poor weasels they would prolly wouldn't have anything to do with him.......thank you......

[Corporate Law]

Yes, they may have to stoop to reach his level.

I say, let the filibuster happen and let the chips fall where they may.

The Constitution meant for filibusters to be a last-resort tactic if a bill was so odious that enough people would gum up the process in order to stop it. This is constitutional representation at work. If a Senator was willing to publicly represent his constituents by filibustering, then he must be extremely serious in his opposition to the bill under consideration.

To say that a possible filibuster is enough reason to stop a bill (as if the filibuster were a done deal), is to rewrite the Constitution. The process is the have the filibuster and then overcome the filibuster, not deny the bill its floor vote because of a possible filibuster that may or may not even happen.
