3. BE THE BUSH OPPOSITION; 24/7 -- our reps may be 'getting it' (nt)

4. I'm there...

... our representatives are finally getting it. You can tell by their actions. We MUST continue to be persistent in letters/email to news organizations and elected leaders to explain the issues clearly when they are wrong and in showing appreciation when they come through. This will be a long, difficult fight. If they lead, we must support them. Remember John Kerry's words: "Now is a time to stand firm." Never forget.:-)

6. Check Raw Story headlines:

www.rawstory.com

Democrats postpone both Gonzales and Rice votes Despite enough GOP votes in the Senate, some Democrats want debate on the floor.... Sens. Boxer and Byrd named as pushing for debate... Kennedy undecided... Reid's office: Not a filibuster, won't give names...


BE THE BUSH OPPOSITION; 24/7

10. Hah! That is TOO damn good! LOL n/t

[driver8]

11. Excellent analogy! Can we just punch both?? n/t

[RaulVB]

12. Yes, THE OPPOSITION PARTY (N/T)

[bush_is_wacko]

13. OK What am I missing? do they have to have a unanimous vote?

How can Dems force this if she has for all intents and purposes already been confirmed? I didn't see the whole hearing today, realy just the end result and the vote today. What the heck did I miss?

Sorry, on edit, that was answered in the story. I am tired tonight! PUBLICITY! The Dems are DEMANDING exposure! Bout' damn time!

14. She has the votes, sure

The democrats "filibustering" the installment will make a stand and show to the American people that THERE WILL BE NO MORE FREE PASSES for the regime.
