[cindyw]

1. Sarbanes, Maryland D

[NickiWitch]

5. Thank you!

She's positively squirming!!

This guy is like a bulldog! :evilgrin:

[Acryliccalico]

2. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh

eating her words. HEHEHEHEHE!!!!!

[Brundle_Fly]

3. Senator Paul Sarbanes(D)

[RaulVB]

4. Ha, ha, ha (n/t)

[BR_Parkway]

6. "Would you, if you were Sec of State, invoke Executive Priveledge?"

You met with House and Senate Republicans, didn't meet with House Dems, Senate Dems got cut short by a vote called by the Rep leadership. You don't foresee treating things so partisanly in the future do you?

[RaulVB]

8. WOW, that hurts!!! (n/t)

[Karenca]

7. She's really one dumb fuck,, isn't she!??!!......nt

[RaulVB]

9. No question about it (n/t)

[Acryliccalico]

11. We need to send him a thank you too

[Karenca]

17. MANY THANK YOU NOTES!!!!! ......n

[Catamount]

19. It's absolutely scary

[fooj]

10. Didn't you just love it?

What is your rationale for not appearing before Congress, yet appear on all media news shows.........ZING..ZAP...POOF!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[NickiWitch]

13. and still no straight answer.....Big Suprise! n/t

[fooj]

27. I have a straight answer. PROPAGANDA! Pure and Simple!

:spank: Shame on you, Condi...c'mon tell us what your motives were. Cowards! Big and bold when they are scamming yet spineless cowards when confronted. Ughhhhh!!!

[SnoopDog]

12. This Senator isn't holding back anything!

Not to jinx anything but are our Dems starting to fight for us and democracy?

[JoMama49]

14. Interesting the way Sen. Biden asked her to please focus

a little more on candor!? Is that a sweet way to call her a friggin liar?

[sepia_steel]

28. Hi :)

I sent you a PM

[RaulVB]

15. Is because people like "US"

They have to get the message:

YOU ARE THE OPPOSITION PARTY!

[Karenca]

20. i'm afraid to say it too, but it is certainly beginning to look like it..

:grouphug: :dem: :grouphug:

[LiberalEsto]

23. Sarbanes probably won't run for re-election in 2006

I suppose that's why he feels like he can show a bit of courage this time.

I won't thank him unless he votes against confirming Condosleeza.

[SnoopDog]

24. At least our Dem leadership is showing everyone that

they are not rolling over to this bush administration.

They are fighting and I know it is because of DU and the silent rumble of millions of Americans!

[JudyM]

16. Is this streaming online - on video? Have it on npr, just audio

[Mandate My Ass]

21. I can't say, I can't say, I can't say...but as Sec'y of State

I would work with Congress and Europe and Dems and Asia and the Arab world and the DOD and the President and...and...and... everything will be honky dory.

She sounds like a bad Miss America contestant.

[Karenca]

25. Zinged by the REPUBLICAN senator from RI,

Senator Chaffee.

That was fun!

[RaulVB]

26. Chaffee is a good man (n/t)

[Karenca]

29. I guess so!......

I'm shocked .....a Repuke, and he was really giving it to her!

[Amaryllis]

121. Lots of moderate repubs are pissed about the hijacking of their party.

[NickiWitch]

30. That *was* a good time, huh? n/t

[Karenca]

31. Sen. Dodd.....'Did you read.....

Condo; No, I didnt read.

Does this bitch read ANYTHING? WTF?????

[driver8]

58. She reads bed time stories to the boy king... n/t

[NickiWitch]

32. Dodd is riding her hard!!

oops...sorry for the visual! :puke:

She won't answer *any* of his questions. Are we shocked folks?

[SnoopDog]

33. Dodd asking about torture...

She won't answer... Just vote no Senators.... Rice obviously likes torture.

[sepia_steel]

34. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DODD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shit!

[NickiWitch]

35. He's not letting her wiggle out so easily!!

I love it!!

ACCOUNTABILITY!

[Der Blaue Engel]

41. "I'd like you to spend 15 minutes with Sen. John McCain..."

Ha! Man, does she look like a dumbass with all her "ahm, uh, eh..."

[Karenca]

43. A dumbass fuckface.......nt

[Der Blaue Engel]

44. I couldn't use the word I was actually thinking of

It might be mistaken for a sex thread. ;)

[NickiWitch]

52. Sex Thread

Great name for a punk band!!

[Der Blaue Engel]

57. LOL! n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

42. He also implied pointedly that her inability to answer that question

would not do if she has the position of Secretary of State. Someone who is supposed to work for human rights.

She is just sooooo cold, and in reality would make a really horrible diplomat, let alone the chief diplomat.

[driver8]

64. Cold?? She is fffffrrrrriiiiiggggiiiiiddddd........ n/t

[seabeyond]

36. our soldiers naked, and water board, is that ok

our soldiers should be under genevia..........

she is such an ass. i like how he said your job in state, and you cant even say clearly how you feel. he was troubled, i say disgusted

[Karenca]

39. DoDD;; "WHEN SIMPLE questions are asked,,as a human being........

What would happen if this torture was done to an American?
Do you consider these activities to be against the Geneva Convention?


Do me a favor, after all these hearings, I want you to spend about 15 minutes with John McCain..someone who has been through this kind of torture

I am DISTURBED by YOUR answers"

[sepia_steel]

[Karenca]

66. KERRY'S ZINGING HER AGAIN!!....nt

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

67. Kerry asking her about not buying up the loose nukes out there, even

though Bush said it was a priority during a debate. Kerry is making a point that there wasn't an increase in the budget for this.

[alexisfree]

68. Kerry: I don’t understand how can this administration can spend..

300 bd..and the weapons are not even there.."

[Catamount]

[Karenca]

86. CALL 202-585-3880 NOW!!!!...nt

[drummer55]

87. dog and pony show

this is just show....

Rice could say she kills and eats homeless babies for breakfast and she would still be confirmed as Sec of State.

This is a done deal. There is nothing short of Rice dying (and even then they would still probably confirm her) that will prevent her from becoming sec of state

Our system of government is fubar'd and needs to have a serious overhaul done by us.

[seabeyond]

91. dog and pony, dog and pony, no one listen

put hands on ears, na nananananan

what is this shit. maybe some of us want to listen. maybe some of us want to hear what is being asked and what answers we are getting. dog and pony what.

that she will be stopped from being sec of state. ok. she will be elected. is that all. now can we listen to what is going on with out this dog and pony shit i dont like kerry i am disappointed with kerry, all dems are bad, the world is going to hell in a hand basket

[drummer55]

99. uh heres a chill pill

I never in my post told anyone to not listen and I never said that all dems are bad or the world is going to hell in a handbasket or that I am disappointed in Kerry.

I voiced my own opinion on a corrupt system that will let someone like Rice be confirmed for the Sec of State post. I had hoped that my post might help people think about alternatives for the future health of our country.

[seabeyond]

103. let me see bush administration

we have had them over four years. what would make you think he would make good choices for the u.s. in his position in cabinet or anywhere else. that isnt how he runs things.

i dont want a chill pill. i am perfectly fine speaking out.

as i am perfectly fine the senate speaking out against rice. they are putting it out. now she will walk into job and f* up like she has always done. like they all have always done

none of this is new

this is why we worked so hard to get bush not elected

i have heard shit all over the board of nothing but attack on what is happening today. i happen to see it as a good thing. just a start. not fixing everything right here and now. not the way the world works

[Pendulum]

93. Perhaps,

but that's even more reason to get it on the historical record that not everyone's in approval of this scum.

I hope the Dems vote against her to make a statement.

[NickiWitch]

90. Repuke caller spewing same "Clinton's fault" and "Sore Losers"

Hahaha!!!

He got yanked!

[New Earth]

92. lol yup

the cpsan guy was like, 'yeah ok, next caller'. CUT HIM OFF! LOL

[New Earth]

94. that last caller was SCUM

saying women shouldn't have the role of secretary of state? WTF!

[sabra]

95. Scum indeed!

[New Earth]

96. OMG! another piece of scum

:puke: HEAR THAT GUYS? WE'RE SORE LOSERS! THAT'S WHY THEIR GRILLING CONDI, SOOOOOOREEEEE LOOOOOSSEERRRRSSSS

[sabra]

97. Next caller - called us sore losers :-)

[New Earth]

98. MORE SCUM

stupid lady, Kerry's a sore loser needs to get over it and he acts like he's still running for president.

[NickiWitch]

101. Are they not taking any Dem callers??!!!???

[yourout]

104. The Karl Rove Phone bank is busy calling CSPAN.

Gotta start spinning before the fire gets to hot.

[sabra]

102. He's getting to her... goood :-)

[Karenca]

108. Just listening to 3 or 4 repukes

makes me sick.
Can you believe how stupid they are?
As soon as they call in, you can smell them.

[seabeyond]

100. shit dems finally have chance to speak out without interuption

or interpretation. and all cspan kdoes is attack on them. the dems get chance to be heard, and look at this board, our "democrats" have done nothing but attack them and say they are a waste of time.

lordy bush fucks up, condi fucks up and it truly is everyone elses fault

[Raksha]

105. Aha, now Barbara Boxer is grilling her about Abu Ghraib!!!

I love it!!! (I don't love Abu Ghraib, of course--just the fact that Boxer is confronting her.)

[Karenca]

106. go barbara!!!!!

'WHY ARE ON EARTH DID YOU DO THAT?"

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

109. And the cold lizard is trying to justify why its ok to use torture for

"terrorists"......

[seabeyond]

107. mn my brother called, missed it n/t

[Karenca]

110. Boxer; LET ME JUST SAY THIS..i'm going to read

it one more time......
in a letter you write you ask that this be stricken...
so what if it was duplicative..we will obey intl laws..I think this is an issue that you dont feel very comfortable with,

I just think its a sad day for us.

[Karenca]

111. Sen. Barack Obama: " are you planning to make the

funding of these commitments a fulfillment....
The reason I make this point is when we publicly announce that we make commitments and we dont follow thru..
If in fact the spending of this money was over ambitious it should be stated publicly.
The broader point is the issue of public diplomacy:
part of the prob. we have overseas is our approach to foreign policies.

The concern that I have here is the CONFLATION of tyranny and terror.
It appears that within the admin. there is ambiguity.

The rational shifted (wmds)...It wasn't justified.....NATION BUILDING NOT APPROPIATE..

Should the admin. be allowed to have ad hoc judgement?;
Lets take these folks out
and
Lets not take these folks out.

[Karenca]

112. Obama: The concern that my constituents possess:

The American people have to have an honest accounting of why we're going in.
This admin. should articulate why in a way thats both coherent and cognizant"

[Raksha]

113. I like the points Barack Obama is making...

...on the subject of the link between "tyranny and terrorism" (Condi's words). He said nothing exemplified that connection more than Saudi Arabia, and yet we give the Saudi regime a free pass! EXACTLY what I hoped he'd say when she started down that "tyranny and terrorism" path. GO BARACK!!!

[Karenca]

114. KERRY NOW! Again :)).........nt

[Number_6]

116. It's mutual!

From time to time I listen to a bit of Rush because it provides an
insight into current Rethug strategy. Hadn't done it for a few months.
Today, listened for a few minutes and during that time he attempted to
smear DU !!! The quote was something like "...soon the kooks on
Democratic Underground will be saying..." Maybe he's regularly
lambasting DU. If so, I take that as a good sign that we are
properly engaged in battle. Those who aren't a threat to Rushco
or Bushco don't get mentioned in his lambastes. Sorry, this isn't directly a comment on Condi's grilling, but a comment on the fact
that Rethugs have opposition.

[understandinglife]

117. Why don't you start a separate thread with this little tidbit of info...

...and let everyone at DU post their greetings to Rushbimbeau....:puke:

[Number_6]

120. hello Rush....let's start a thread

Sorry, I'm a newbie, I'm not quite sure how to start a thread. But I think Rushco merits our greetings, except that if he implies that he actually reads DU, he's probably lying. If his mouth was moving, he was lying. However, his staff or various Rethugs hipped him to the strategy of smearing DU. We're on somebody's radar.

[seabeyond]

119. maybe this is why this board has been such a challenge

in negativity and opposition to democrats today

[Raksha]

118. Kerry: "I don't think it's all on the table" in Iraq.

He's trying to get the Bush administration to come clean about the true costs of the war in both money and manpower. I LIKE this line of questioning!
