Is There Any Chance The Bolton Hearings Are The "Tipping Point"?
Edited on Tue Apr-19-05 02:57 PM by DistressedAmerican
I am pumped up watching these Bolton hearings! The Dems. (not just one or two, ALL of them) are really kicking ass. They are punching this guy like Ali!

What do you think? Is this the beginning of us seeing some really hardcore party fighting?

Are the Democrats finally getting ready to stand up to these repug bastards the way we haven't since 9/11?

Have they found their freaking spines?

Check out this great thread for a blow by blow of the Bolton hearings:

1. I do like Biden's sarcasm.
I think he could hand you your head on a platter and you would thank him for it. He is a weasel sometimes, but as long as he's our weasel most of the time, that's good. He knows the game.

5. I Generally Like Biden. Don't Love Him But, Most Of The Time.
I was pissed during the Condi hearings when he stood there and said that people voting against her were doing a "service for the nation". Then he turned around and voted FOR HER.

He's on today though!

WE SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THIS GUY TOO:

7. This along with the delay case...
might just tip the scale.
As far as I'm concerned they can all go to hell.
I'm feeling angry today.
But then I keep in mind the Nuremberg trials, and how evil was finally put on trial.
Will Rove do a Goering?

9. Bolton's behavior goes against VALUES Americans hold dear - please
emphasize values and morals, all you Dems in the Bolton hearing!

Promoting Bolton rewards his behavior.
Bolton's behavior goes against the VALUES Americans hold dear.
Bolton's is not a MORAL man.

13. It Is The Best I've Seen In A LONG LONG Time!
They are stoked. Where have these folks been? I have been very confused not to see this all along. These Repugs are bullies and you must stand up to them. Otherwise, you'll be giving them your lunch money for another 4 years!

15. It's about fucking time they're angry.
Considering that I've been barely able to contain my rage over the past five years, it's about fucking time the party leadership starts frothing at the mouth.

21. I cannot even fathom caring so little about this country.
I mean, how must it feel to be one of those people who only care about themselves, their payoffs, etc? They all need to go down in the next election --- every single one of the repubs. EVERYONE!!!

are running aroiund this country. So far virtually unchecked by anyone...

Call this a message from the right wing in general. It is all I hear when they speak:

24. Ouch! So on the money.
I can't watch him or listen to him. Force myself to read transcripts and credible reports.

Maybe it's just an awareness of mortality and a finite lifespan, but I decided NEVER TO DO THAT TO ME AGAIN.

25. A Rational Part Of Me Says it Is Not A Personal Insult To ME. But, My Gut
tells me that all of this is just about pissing me off. How else could they hit every possible "fuck you" button?

Is he smirking at ME? He repug, what the hell are you looking at?

26. Sure. If you make your opponent IRRATIONAL, then your
fight gets easier.

There are so many better objects of contemplation :)

27. Holy Shit. CNN Headline news reporting this as breaking news.
At 2:07 pm PDT. 1: reporting it at all; 2: reporting it almost as soon as it happened; 3: reporting it on an otherwise big news day. More evidence that hell may be freezing over.
