Frist himself used the filibuster when it was convenient for him.

[Wordie]

He keeps going on and on about a "fair up or down vote," but that's total spin.

Here's something Frist has on his website:

Issue Briefs - Judicial Nominations
Senators should treat every judicial nominee with dignity and respect and give them the courtesy of an up or down vote. And that includes any potential Supreme Court nominee.

(That "up or down vote" stuff means "no filibuster.")

Yet this is found in Wiki:

...opponents of the nuclear option point to Senator Bill Frist's vote to filibuster Paez in 2000 as evidence that Frist does in fact support the idea of a 60-vote threshold when it suits him. When a vote for cloture on the confirmation of Paez was called, 14 Senators voted to continue the filibuster, including Frist.<58>

Frist is such a hypocrite. And msm never calls him or the other RWers on it! YET! We've got to get working on that! Would this help in convincing those Republican senators who are part of the Gang of 14?

1. Certainly couldn't hurt.

Who didn't know he was a hypocrite?

[Wordie]

2. FAUX news doesn't know he's a hypocrite. So presumably all their

viewers don't either. I happened to watch a FAUX news blurb on the filibuster this AM. Horrible! There was NO meaningful content from Kerry's speech and yet tons of attention to McClellan's Davros comments.

And I've been hearing so often stuff from Frist, even on either channels, with that "fair up or down vote" nonsense, planting the seed of an idea that a filibuster isn't fair, yet NOW I find he's participated in them himself! Sheesh!

3. You'd think by listening to the rat bastards that the Dems invented

the filibuster! How soon they forget. Does filibustering Clinton's Surgeon General nominee ring a bell?

Grrrrrrrrrrr......

Peace.

[Wordie]

5. Something I'd love to hear: FLIP FLOPPER FRIST! (nice ring to it, eh?) eom

4. Frist-- LOL
