McCain shows his ass. -- It's something of an open secret on the Hill, but Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) temper can be so explosive, it tends to alienate friend and foe alike. Consider yesterday's brouhaha over the new immigration-reform package. Apparently, McCain accused Cornyn of raising petty objections, and Cornyn accused McCain of having dropped in without taking part in the negotiations. "F**k you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room," McCain reportedly shouted. Paul Kane added that McCain also "used a curse word associated with chickens." Oddly enough, these outbursts are not terribly uncommon for McCain. Several years ago, Jake Tapper reported on an incident in which McCain got into a shouting match with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). Eventually, a seething McCain told his GOP colleague, "You know, senator, I thought your problem was that you don't listen. But that's not it at all. Your problem is that you're a f**king jerk." More recently, former Sen. Bob Smith (R-N.H.), who served with McCain on the Senate Armed Services Committee and on Republican policy committees, said, "I have witnessed incidents where he has used profanity at colleagues and exploded at colleagues. He would disagree about something and then explode. It was incidents of irrational behavior. We've all had incidents where we have gotten angry, but I've never seen anyone act like that." Keep in mind, we're talking about McCain dropping F-bombs on Republicans. I guess this helps explain why McCain hasn't exactly racked up the Senate GOP endorsements for his presidential campaign. http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/
A nightmare rumor among those following such things is that Bush might nominate Cornyn to replace Wolfie at the World Bank; leaving open his senate seat, which would be filled by Perry. Say hello to Senator Delay.
you're probably right... i wasn't thinking. a side note, we would get to vote for the next senator correct? they don't get to just nominate one in order to fill the open seat. as much struggle as perry had in winning his reelection i think a serious contender could emerge if this scenario pans out. though i wouldn't vote for bill white or ron kirk i think either of them would be the easy democratic nominee.
following up on the previous debate. wolf sucks. he can't stop anyone from speaking. ron paul got the first applause of the night, and an applause just about every time he spoke. it will never happen, but i would love to see tancredo and paul take on bush on his policy and ideas. and i don't see any way how mccain doesn't drop in the rankings after this debate.
i wish i could take away my guiliani vote on this poll and replace it with the non existant ron paul vote!
Wolf sucks, for sure. If he didn't have his goofy name and the damn beard, does anyone think this guy would have his job? D&D. Replicant Voter.
Huckabee had a great line about abortion, and how we should be "pro-life" after the child is born, as well...
Thank you. If you recall the ending Ridley dumped on me in the original release, I was on the run. Thus the beard. That image is from a flick I was forced to do to pay the bills. (one armed man, my ass! the butler did it) Me, looking at Ridley's brain, prior to running off with... Rachael, who isn't crazy about the hair on my face, but puts up with it. D&D. Replicant Follicles.
i second that. the guy is really impressive. im curious to what basso and i think his name is tj think about this guy
Mitt backs SS privatization -- Romney backs personal retirement accounts By MARK HAYWARD New Hampshire Union Leader 16 hours, 40 minutes ago MANCHESTER – Republican Mitt Romney yesterday praised the notion of personal accounts for Social Security recipients, a key aspect of the Social Security reform plan of President Bush that never made it out of Congress. Romney said it would be a good idea to use the Social Security trust fund to allow personal accounts, which could earn higher rates of return for beneficiaries. "Personal accounts would be a big plus," Romney said at the New Hampshire Institute of Art yesterday afternoon. Romney spoke to about 175 people in a town hall format where he took questions about civil unions, medical use of mar1juana and weapons inspection during the run-up to the Iraq war. http://www.unionleader.com/article....rticleId=87b5cbbe-50ca-4579-afad-d3979301d3d8
