10. I voted yes, because I think the president should get who he wants
and Bolton, although I don't agree with him, is well qualified for the job. I think the U.N. needs a tough guy like Bolton to shake things up over there.

44. Screen Capture!
I've mentioned a few times that we need to capture these screens and compare them to the 'final' results.

I'm not on the board very often so I wouldn't be a good one to do this but it's a thought...

46. What's the point?
It's not a scientific survey and even if it was, big deal. Since when has the disapproval of the American people ever stopped these cretins from doing as they please. Hell, even Democrats aren't going to make much of a fuss.

... but this dictator does whatever he wants.

I'd like to know -why- some people think that it's a good idea. Are they worried about an invasion of black UN helicopters? (And where did THAT urban legend begin?)

72. Done.. Clinton tried to do it.. the guy he was pushing through
Edited on Mon Aug-01-05 11:50 PM by walldude
(his name escapes me now) refused the appointment. He wanted to be voted in fairly so the U.N. could see he had the support of both sides.

on edit: this is from Crooks and Liars via Yellowdog:

Richard Holbooke's nomination. "Richard Holbrooke, who Republicans delayed for 14 months as Bill Clinton's nominee to the U.N., refused to bypass the Senate with a recess appointment, saying that it would introduce him to the world body with no credibility or authority."
