Frist reverses course on Bolton already! Dubya demands up or down vote!

[flpoljunkie]

Dr. Frist looks so pitifully weak. Apparently the Chimperor must have his Bolton vote or Rove will leash the dogs on them all--that is, without funds from their campaigns and run more pliable candidates in their races.

Senate Leader Reverses Himself, Pushing Bolton Vote

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 2:14 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Reversing field after a meeting with President Bush, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said he will continue pushing for a floor vote on John R. Bolton for U.N. ambassador. Frist switched his position after initially saying Tuesday that negotiations with Democrats to get a vote on Bolton had been exhausted.

Talking to reporters in the White House driveway after he joined other GOP lawmakers for a luncheon with Bush, Frist said: ''The president made it very clear that he expects an up or down vote.''

1. Can you say FLIP-FLOP?

Guess they're not quite ready to give him a recess appointment after all ...

2. I think it's just for show

I don't think Bush cares all that much HOW Bolton gets in, just that he gets his way.

3. Next you'll see a bunch of Republicans filing into the chamber

in arm-slings all voting with an enthusiastic YES!!!

5. Would he be so bold as to introduce the Nuclear Option on filibuster

for all ocasions and not just judicial appointees? I almost wish he would..

6. Bush needs another war really bad and he need to get this going

real fast!!! Hurry... I need another war!

7. Easy reply....Give Senate the documents, you have your vote.....

This one is really easy folks. We really should be able to get the idiot MSM to grasp this one. The WH refuses to give the Senate what it is entitled to. ENTITLED. If there is some privilege, state it. If you are claiming to be a Monarch, say so Chimporor. And yet, at the WH briefing today it was about "up or down votes" and "U.N. reform" etc...and squat about the refusal of the chimp to turn over the documents, without explanation, and the FACT that that is the only thing holding up his precious "up or down"....

8. "Bush* is OBSTRUCTING - what ELSE is he HIDING from us?"

With the DSM still somewhat fresh in the public's mind, the Dems need to play this to our advantage, change their rhetoric for the nightly news sound-bites and keep making the WH keep look like the bad guys they are.

Perception. Perception. Perception.
