I just watched this ....display on Cspan, I missed it today.

I'm to the point where I would rather vote for a losing conservative candidate than a winning RINO. Myabe it's just the welling up at the anger, but for pete's sake, we've had congress for a decade, and the democrats can still run the place whenever they feel like it!

I really wish we had a third party, a Conservative Party...in places where the Rep is a Conservative, we'd support him, in cases where the Rep is a RINO, we can run our own Conservative candidate...just one election cycle would remind these bums who really elects them.
I'm just venting right now, but after watching this, I feel like voting Libertarian, or gasp! Green in 2006 congressional races. Arrrgh....

The Democrats' obstruction
Comes to them naturally
Like Bolshevik crusaders
They learned at Lenin's knee

Most excellent composition!

I think the RINOS are enjoying the attention they get.

I say we give them some real exposure...in their home areas...so the constituents will know to vote for real republicans.

Here in Texas....we have huge RINO problem growing in the Capitol.

Too many lawyers in Austin.

I totally agree with you.........REALLY raise their profiles and bring attention to their obstruction, just like we did Daschle.

Bolton is a liar and a sexual harasser...according to Biden.

I don't recall Biden having any qualms about Clinton's ADMITTED lying and PROVEN sexual harassment.

LOL! Definately sounds like a conspiracy theory. And a well thought out one too!

He couldn't in conscience, so he states, vote to pass Bolton out of committee.

Clearly, the Democrats came up with some very juicy dirt on this sick scumbag Voinivich. If the Republicans don't know what it is, they better find out, like yesterday. Put a whole team of investigators on it and then tell this scumbag that either they can go public with the dirt or the rats can go public - - his choice.

Somebody has to spank that corrupt p.o.s. until he's bawling like a baby.

Bolton is no lifetime appointment or anything. In reality, he will only be UN Ambassador for the next three-and-a-half years and that's it. Then he's gone. So why wouldn't Dubya simply bide his time and then make a recess appointment? Problem solved.

Looks like the pantie-wearers (Republican "leadership") have been played for fools again. What a surprise. Or else, the fix is in and it is the republican supporters who are being played for fools. Thinking this hard before opening my checkbook for these pusillanimous bastards again.

The problem I have with this is, that this is the proving ground for the major battles to come. The Democrats would rather see the entire world engulfed in a massive thermonuclear conflagration than see conservative justices appointed to the SCOTUS. Look how far this little battle is removed from that scenario.

IMO, the question regarding the UN should be, rather than arguing about an ambassador, we should be planning a republican alternative organization, and subsequently resigning from the UN and throwing their corrupt asses out of US sovereign territory.

By being timid, we are being lured into the ongoing Democrat trap. There is still time to recover, however:
Focus on the judicial appointments.
Jam the "Constitutional Option" down their throats.
Convince the conservative justices that it is OK to retire, and then ramrod conservative SCOTUS and other judicial appointees through the process.

If we don't get this after achieving the majority we have, what good does Republican majority (and all of our effort and donations) bring?

"--...what has Voinovich been doing?"

That was my question, also! If Voinovich is so busy and so tied up on other committees, maybe he is just too busy to be on this one.

"He said that Newsweek had some kind of poll that said that some 60% of Americans are NOT in favor of abolishing the filibuster--"

That 60% consists of bill and hillary and any friends that are still alive!

Hmmm, good point. I guess there is no end to the double standard.

>>.what has Voinovich been doing?<<

$$$$$$


I cannot imagine anything short of major surgery that should have kept Voinovich from being ready to vote yesterday!

I will be phoning his office (as soon as a line is free) to ask that very question!

The bottom line, is that we got our asses kicked today and it feels awful. But I cant give up yet. That doesn't mean I have to give the bastards a dime, though.

Took me a while to get over that loss last night. Felt like having your basketball team up by two with the ball with 10 seconds left. They turn the ball over and the opponent hits a last second three to win.

I will keep your optimism, but I am pissed as hell at Voinovich. He is one of my Senators.
