Viewpoint: Nuts!
I am tormented by a terrible fantasy more and more. The fantasy is to get my hands on one or 2 old pre-1900 cannons (say something like one of the guns being used for re-enactments or ceremonies). Get a couple hundred powder charges and whatever ammunition I can come up with. Something that Homeland security wouldn’t think of.
Mount the thing(s) on a truck bed and drive to DC. Line it up on the Senate side of the capital building and pound the place and all of the asshats in it into rubble until either the cops shoot me or arrest me. Either way I go down screaming “I am John Brown!!!!”.
He was a good man, that John Brown.
Maybe I’d get lucky and a shot would decapitate one of the following: Bennedict McCain, Hanoi John, that murdering drunk Kennedy, or Klan boy Byrd.
I am so pissed off right now I can’t think straight.
I’d say that, for those RINOs that pulled this stunt, a little thing called a “recall” is in order.
Drop them like a rotton potato, throw them in the garbage.
The Dems in Congress at least have the excuse that they’re doing what their own (very) peculiar constituencies elected them for. These RINOs have betrayed their voters, however.
Get rid of them.Does anyone have a list of these seven idiots?
Skipper, I mentioned in an earlier thread that this compromise will last precisely as long as it takes the donks to break it. And break it they will, probably sooner rather than later. This may turn out to be a trap for just that betrayal, a trap to catch the donks red-handed in the public eye.
Even the legacy media will have a hard time making the donks look good when they break their own compromise. And when they break it, it will amount to proclaiming that their agreements and promises are dust. That may easily be the last nail in their coffin on this issue, and many others as well.
I suggest that we employ a little patience here and see what shakes out.
As hot under the collar as I am right now, Tannenberg makes some sense. But I doubt the MSN will do what he suggests...after all they left the rape charges against Willy boy all but hanging in the wind...though there is Fox and “US bloggers” ™ out here to force their hand a bit...time will tell.
And Skipper, regarding your comments about Mc Cain, I posted about that a month or so before the national election.....seems rather prophetic right about now....he needs to find a nice quiet place to go and contemplate his navel...I don’t know as to whether he was brainwashed to the extent you suggest, but that he was / is “damaged goods” is almost beyond question. (And for those of you who think this equates to me saying he was anything less then honorable while a POW or as a Naval Officer, you can bite me, that is NOT what I am saying at all....just trying to head the moonbats off at the pass--Guy)
Guy: I agree completely. McCain is indeed “damaged goods”. I too believe he served honorably but the NV did something to him in that prison. Maybe he has just outlived his “Use by:” date.
He’s definitely past coverage under warranty, Skipper. A quiet retirement under the Rim would seem to be in all our best interests.
Ditto to Tannenberg. This only delayed the inevitable. Who knows about McCain. He has been keeping some strange company lately. Maybe he should have been Gore’s running mate, as was rumored.
The only hope is that Frist has enough balls to ignore this piece of bullshit by 7 Dummycraps and 7 spineless majority members to nuke the damn filibusters anyway. but I doubt it.
Tan makes sense, but I just don’t think these guys are that Machiavellian to think any further ahead than their next PAC pay-off. They have too long a history of taking one step forward, only to take two steps back.
McCain is a loose cannon, no disrespect to his former service.
I’d like to see a movement to support Tom Tancredo (R-CO), but he makes too much sense, which will automatically disqualify him from any bid for the presidency.
Hmmmm. I always wondered why I myself was disqualified. Now I know (chortle chortle).
Why don’t you tell us how you really feel Skipper. Senator Nelsen (D-NE) used to be my old Senator and he must be feeling pretty good. Nebraska voted more for Bush than Texas. Nelson probably would of voted for the Republicans’ Constitutional Nuclear Option if the truth be known. These Democrats are getting weaker by the second.
The time to attack RINO Republicans is in their primaries. We attacked RINO Ganske in the primary and now his seat is held by a steadfast conservative Representative King (R-IA) and Ganske is in the private sector where he belongs. Conservatives control the primaries and McCain is considered an outcast, so everything is going pretty good.
With Dean in control of the DNC we will probaly have over 60 Republican Senators by 2008. Dean is like a gift from allah. When we do have 60 Republican Senators I’m sure some of them will grow some balls. Right now it’s hard to find a Republican Senator publically supporting President Bush on his Reforms.
Thank goodness for the President.

Medved made the point that Snowe, Collins, and Chafee come from VERY blue states and were elected as “liberal” Republicans.
As such they’re doing what their constituencies would want.As for Warner,Graham etc-they were elected as conservatives which makes their defections beyond the pale.
I’m from Illinois though so my vote doesn’t count.
I’m sooo tired of spineless conservatives!!!!“If you insist on standing in the middle-of-the-road you risk getting run over by both sides."-Margaret Thatcher
Btw Z-are you from Iowa? I’m a native of Sac City and my father graduated from high school with Jim Leach(R-IA).

Children, children children,
What ACTUALLY happenend was that the Dems signed off on the 3 most aggregious nominees that had garnered all their venom for 4 years. Can you say ‘hypocrite’?
They got in return a ‘promise’ that they COULD still try and fillibuster any REALLY aggregious nominees in the future.
The Reps gave up a couple of nominees that won’t come up TOO soon.
Now, mark my words.
The nominee that is Arabic may have something in his folio that would sour anybody. Nevermind him.
The other pretty much does not want to play this game.
IF there is another ‘fillibuster’ ... it WILL be overcome easily.
That’s one.
If there is a ‘fillibuster’ those assholes have to go back and get re-elected in a matter of MONTHS ... tough row to hoe that.
That’s two.
There will be a SCOTUS openning if not 2 coming soon to a theater near YOU.
W will nominate either of the two women he got into the Appellate Courts today.
The Dems cannot THEN say they are not worthy having just let them pass. AND they ARE women and one is BLACK.
They may BOTH go to SCOTUS. That would be MY bet.
That’s three.
McCain & Co. have shown their stripes and identified themselves as VULNERABLE.
Especially since McCain went with Teddy as co-author of the abyssmal ‘Guest Worker’ legislation pending. McCain has lost his base in AZ. Kennedy is liable to vapor lock ANYTIME.
That’s four.
Frist WILL bring another contentious nominee up shortly before the ‘06 election. It WILL pass OR the nuclear option will be exercised.
That’s five.
Now, if there’s anybody here that can tell me I am wrong ... fire away.
The end result will be that 2 more CONSERVATIVE judges who are not inclined to legislate from the bench will be the next SCOTUS appointees. AND ... Antonin Scalia will be the next hocho thereon.
Nothing about this little ‘truce’ is bad.
And, if you ask me, the Dems got sucker-punched. THAT, or at least a bunch of ‘they’ have midterm elections just around the corner.
‘THEY’ have been seen to be ‘weak’ by the extreme left and that IS their base in many states.
The end result will be 2 more good SCOTUS judges, 10 or 12 less DEMs in the house and at least 3 less in the Senate.
WITH the added bonus that John McCain is TOAST. John Warner is TOAST. Robt. Byrd is TOAST.
None of them will win another election.
Not to mention Kennedy.
So buck up. We won big. Very big.

Here’s a list of the Senators up for reelection in 2006
Something I left out was that Sen Clinton did NOT sign on to the ‘truce’.
Beyond that, I rest my case.
Thanks StinK.

Twerp: My family has been in Iowa, Harlan, since before the civil war. I grew up in Ames. Ames gets to pick the leader of the free world (Someone has to do it). I have been in Sac City and my wife is from Onawa.
Steel is right, we have nothing to fear. Stabenow (D-MI) is such a loser I can’t imagine her winning another term. It will be nice when Michigan turns red.
Did you see Reid (D-NV) claim victory? This guy is a goofball.
