Frist "accused Democrats of being unwilling to compromise" on Bolton?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

HOW did we get to the point where anything short of giving Bush EVERYTHING HE WANTS, TO THE LETTER, constitutes a lack of willingness to "COMPROMISE?"

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., accused Democrats of being unwilling to compromise.

"Some on the other side of the aisle are obstructing a highly qualified nominee and I believe by not allowing him to assume this position yet are doing harm to our country," Frist said.

Frist and Bolton are a matched set of bookends.

3. I don't see the ability to compromise. It's either Bolton or not!

I know Biden and Dobbs are arguing for getting info from the WH, and I hope they get it, but I don't think that's the real fight. I think Bolton is an idiot to send to the UN and so do the Dems. There is no compromise here. He's either in or out!

[Mythsaje]

4. Can you say

rabid weasel in a henhouse?

That's what Bolton would be at the U.N. Good for nothing more than to spread blood and feathers throughout the place.

No compromise allowed. Any Senator who "compromises" on this issue might as well hang up his hat. S/he'll never be re-elected.

12. I love the imagry!

Besides, Bolton wasn't part of the famous compromise. So Frist can stick it.

5. No compromise on Bolton

Frist can go fuck himself.

6. Why compromise to make an uncompromising man our nation's top diplomat?

I'm intolerant of intolerance...

and uncompromising in my opposition to uncompromising diplomats.

Bolton = Undiplomatic

7. Thank GOD for that

you don't compromise with our country's future. Good for them.

8. Well, I think the Democrats should compromise.

Let's send Bolton's head to the U.N. ... on a plate.

Oh, OK ... and both feet, too.

10. Poor bastards.

Apparently, Republicans hate Democracy. And Bill, check the numbers...Democrats represent more Americans in the Senate than your Party does. Guess all that Communism and Red Baiting over the past 50 years turned them into what they used to hate so much.

11. Hmmmmmm.....

looks like the same crap as he pulled with the Judicial issue. Maybe Bush will get everything he wants as part of a Democratic compromise as he did with the Judicial issue.
