SENATE ESTRADA FILIBUSTER (Live Thread)

[Mo1]

I'm a mess .. what can I say

[Elkiejg]

I trid to call the D.C. offices of Frist and Hatch this morning - all circuits are busy. Guess the anti-America phone/fax attack on Congress is in progress. But - I called their home state offices and requested that they pass my message onto the Senators. Basic message - KEEP THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE, MAKE THEM FILIBUSTER 24/7, VAST MAJORITY OF TRUE AMERICANS ARE BEHIND THEM 110% AND WE ARE WATCHING.

look how easily liberals cave if we apply pressure!

Nelson announced his backing of Estrada a day after a Hispanic group began airing radio ads in Florida and a handful of other states in support of the nominee.

1. pull the nomination so we can concentrate on global warming report (not kidding)

!!

I hastily read that as "(just kidding)," and chuckled... yeah, heh heh heh, good one....

Then I read it again.

Pull the nom and concentrate on GLOBAL WARMING report??! TELL ME YOU'RE KIDDING!

Just a thought, but if the vote were set for say Thursday in prime time with national coverage, I'll bet he sails through.

What is Thurday?

Thanks for posting this and starting this thread.

Go, Hatch, Go!!

Who slipped Hatch the caffeine?

As a rule I say absolutely nothing to indicate any support for any democrap but I'm going to be sort of sorry to see Miller leave. The fact that he is a conservative dem means he is more a thorn in the side of tiny tom than a Republican.

Global warming is quite the important subject on the minds of the voters right now.

We're expecting 6-8 inches of snow over the next day and a half in the DC area, and we're tired of it. Bring on Global Warming!

Seriously though, the Global Warming thing underscores Senator Miller's comments about this being about special interest groups.

[hchutch]

No, no, no...

It's Leaky. :)

[NeoCaveman]

Nelson's staff is either uniformed, or trying to protect themselves from their angry base!

All thieir base are belong to us.

Free Miguel Now!

Who slipped Hatch the caffeine?

Sorry to be so late but we have a ICE STORM and my computer was down for a while. I hate this weather! Snow, yes. Ice, NO!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

[Cold Heat]

The day after Wednesday, and before friday.LOL!

People are never home on fridays. Thursday is a good nite for catching viewers if all carry the vote.

It would be playing hardball with media exposure if they could pull it off.:-)

Tell the Rats you are going to give a dollar-a-day to the RNC for every day this filibuster lasts.

They'll listen when you talk soft money.

BTW, the Rats were given ANOTHER opportunity to make a list of their supposedly unanswered questions and submit them to Estrada. They refused.

[Huck]

Called Corzine, for what it's worth. Lautenberg's line was busy. Do call folks.

[PhiKapMom]

Just a reminder to email the White House and tell the President and Vice President you support Liberating the Iraqi people and disarming Saddam with or without the United Nations Security Council approval.

President George W. Bush: president@whitehouse.gov

Vice President Richard Cheney: vice.president@whitehouse.gov

My wife was going into a major panic because the power was off and her curling iron was useless.
