The Dwarves Don’t Get It
John Bolton was filibustered yesterday—just three days after the seditious dwarves of the GOP and the Democrats cut a deal on judges. Yes, yes, I know that Bolton isn’t a judge, but Reid stood up yesterday in front of the National Press Club yesterday and promised a new era of cooperation between the parties. Then, he turns around and begins a filibuster of a man that seriously need in the UN. But what is telling about what happened yesterday are the papers this morning.
"It is unfortunate," conceded Senator Mike DeWine, Republican of Ohio and a prominent member of the so-called Gang of 14 who drew up the judicial compromise. "It is too bad. But the deal was on judges, not anything else."
YES. The the deal was on judges, but this is a prime example of the fact that the Democrats can’t be trusted. They filibustered another nominee. A nominee is a nominee, you dunce.
"In this atmosphere of trust, you have to take people's word," said Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, as he left the Senate chamber.
That word didn’t last more than three days. I would have honestly expected more intelligence from Arizona’s senior senator. Oh, what the hell am I thinking? You have no brains when it comes to anything about trust. I'm sure Pres. Bush loved how you slammed him in the press during the last election, while you were campaigning for him.
"I am disappointed that tonight we were unable to have a vote on Bolton," Mr. Reid said. "But it is not the fault of the Democratic caucus. We're not here to filibuster Bolton, we're here to get information."
No, you’re there to obstruct. You have been doing so for five years, and it wasn’t until last November until you were crowned "king of obstruction"; only after Daschle was forced to relinquish his. You’re not there for information. You have plenty of it. You can make an educated decision one way or the other.
Dr. Frist said "actions speak volumes" in his statement after the Bolton defeat, referring to Senator Reid's speech. "Tonight, after the Democrats have launched into yet another filibuster of a presidential nomination," he said, "those words seem empty and hollow."
The words spoken at the NPC, and after the dwarves finished their diddling on Monday were "empty and hollow". It was lip service to America, all over again. But America’s not stupid, and they see who their enemies in the Senate are; which ones stand for America, and which ones stand for themselves.
"This is what is disappointing," said Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and another one of the Gang of 14. "The spirit of the deal was that we can do better if we all try."
No, Sen. Graham, you’re wrong, and you’re a disappointment to the people who put you in the Senate. The spirit of the deal—in a nutshell—was the Republicans would take the Constitutional Option off the table if the Democrats would allow judicial nominees their vote. You morons took it off the table, and walked away with three judges that would get their vote, and two others that may or may not get votes. You people sold the party and it’s last option out.
Those quotes came from the New York Times this morning. But I’m not done. There’s plenty more inane idiocy that came from the other papers. Next up is the Washington Post.
Biden said yesterday's vote was meant "to tell the administration that they cannot dictate to the United States Senate. Maybe they'll take notice," Biden added. "But the administration is so arrogant, you can't be sure."
The president isn’t dictating a damn thing to you, Sen. Know-Nothing, other than to quit obstructing his nominees and give them their appropo vote. And as for your assertion of "arrogance"...you sound like the pot calling the kettle black. Sen. Biden, when was the last time your party took a look in the mirror?
"Please, find a better candidate," he [Voinovich] implored President Bush.
Sen. Voinovich, please find a better job, because I have a feeling that you lost a lot of support over the last couple of weeks. Did you accidentally get handed a glass of the Democrat’s kool-aid? You have gone just plain nuts, and that weepy performance earlier this week may have gotten you an Oscar, but you turned off your base back home. You deserve every whack they hand out to you.
He [Thune] said of Bolton, "I don't think he's the best man for the job."
I would slap Thune around for this comment, but I share a bit of disdain with him. This move could be because Ellsworth AFB is on the closure list. It’s in South Dakota, and he represents South Dakota. I don’t besmirch him for this; he’s looking for a horse trade.
"Maybe this was just a bridge too far at the end of the most stressful week in recent memory. . . . The spirit that we were trying to create has been damaged."
That one comes from Lindsey Graham. The spirit you idiots created was one where you ticked off your base, while making out with the enemy. Why do you think I want your ilk out of my party?
It was about "the mystery of the unknown" in the requested documents, Warner said.
Well, Sen. Warner, you’re not getting those documents. The White House has stated—repeatedly—that those documents are classified. Quite Frankly, many in the Senate can’t be trusted to keep their yaps shut about classified materials. Take Harry Reid, for example, about FBI files of judicial nominees. Or how about John Kerry’s revelation during the debates about the new nuclear weapons we were developing. (Right before he shoved his foot completely down his throat when he said he’d give Iran nuclear fuel.)
"Let's be frank," Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said yesterday. "He is not a career diplomat, either by profession or temperament."
Look who’s talking about their temperament. Another pot and kettle moment. Sen. McCain, you really haven’t gotten over getting your butt whipped by the president, have you? And you, like a liberal, twist the truth around. The president didn’t go after you in South Carolina. You went after him. You lost, and you’re the most bitter SOB in the Senate.
"John Bolton was picked by the president" and "a president ought to be able to bring people into his administration" who share his values and goals, Allen said. Criticisms of Bolton, Allen said, are "tangents" that distract from "the dire need for change in the United Nations, the need for accountability . . . the need for reform."
THANK YOU GOD! A level of intelligence, and is it any wonder that it comes from Sen. Allen? He hits the nail squarely on the head. It is time for the United Nations to go through a level of reform—from top to bottom—if it is to continue in it’s existence, or if we’re to continue being a member of it. They’re already thoroughly irrelevant. I’d like to see it extinct.
And now, finally onto the LA Times. And I’ll give credit where credit is due, the Times article started out decently, but then you get to page two of the story, and they use the dreaded ‘M’ word that is usually associated with McCain (maverick) in reference to Voinovich; the cry-baby turn coat that started all of this. The quotes aren’t much better than those from above. However, there were these two little gems at the very end of the article.
"If we do have a vote today, I urge my colleagues in the Senate to let their consciences and their commitments to the best interests of the nation guide them," Voinovich said. "The allegations have caused great damage to Mr. Bolton's credibility and the allegations will impair our credibility [at the United Nations.]"
Sen. Voinovich, I have no idea why you’re doing this, but I do know this much: You’re an embarrassment to the party. I hope you relish the headlines you make, and the praise you get from the Left. Because, sir, right now, you’re political career isn’t worth a plug-nickel.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Bolton "sees clearly" where the United Nations "is going astray," and "has the credibility to be a force for change" at the world body.
OK, this guy can’t tell the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground on judicial nominees, but he gets it on Bolton. I’m shaking my head at the utter stupidity sometimes of our elected official, and I’m doing the same with Graham.
A nominee is a nominee, either way they’re sliced. They have had their debate in the committee, and now they deserve a vote. The Seditious Seven on Monday forgot all about that, and responded to the unconstitutional filibusters by side-stepping them with an unconstitutional agreement. They have stepped on, spit on, and crapped on the Constitution long enough, and I’m sick of it. Until the leaders of the GOP wake up, I can only offer one thing...
...NOT ONE MORE DIME.
