Bolton delay is NOT a filibuster. White House stonewalling documents.
That prick Frist is trying to frame the Bolton vote as a filibuster. This is a case of the Senate NOT GETTING information that they need in order to make a fair decision on whether Bolton is fit to represent the entire nation at the UN. Dems need to HAMMER this home. RELEASE THE DOCUMENTS!!!!

1. They will repeat on message...
until the general public thinks its a fillibuster and that the dems broke the deal.

Simple as that.

5. Right!
But any prick with half a brain should know it's not a filibuster. Just a delay in a vote. Do they think the American people are stupid? Of course, some of them are...but still.

2. That's exactly right...and let's not forget.....
Some weeks ago, Condi Rice told some of her minions at the State Department that she did NOT want any information coming out about Bolton, that might jepordize his nomination.

Translation: she was instructing theme to IMPEDE a congressional investigation.

Amazing!

3. It's why Bolton was up instead of the judges. Make it look like Dems
acted in bad faith on the filibuster deal.

6. I thought the "trust" agreement was one not to filibuster judicial
nominations. There was no agreement regarding other issues. Bolton is related to that category, "other issues." Correct me if I am wrong.

7. If anything we should say the White House is STONEWALLING!
Ambassadorial appointments are not part of the compromise deal.
