1. IRAN! IRAN! IRAN! IRAN! IRAN! IRAN! IRAN! IRAN!

[Lasher]

6. Some people didn't believe these lunatics wanted to attack Iran

Now it's getting more obvious.

[Gelliebeans]

13. K, that one is damn scary SR

:scared:

[radfringe]

18. if they bomb Iran, we'll stop complaining about Iraq

[Swamp Rat]

30. Nice pic!

:hi:

Did you see this Tom Tomorrow?:

[radfringe]

51. lol - GMTA

It's the bushies last ace in the hole

the Iraq Progress report didn't stop the Senate from proceeding with the all-nighter debate

the "leaked" NIE report saying the terrorists are here didn't postpone the debate (hey I thought the terrorists weren't suppose to follow us here until we left there... sheesh can't anything go according to plan?)

Chertoff's gut feelings didn't bump Iraq from the news cycle

so what's left when "progress" and "terror" no longer works?

[SeattleGirl]

2. Kicking for #15.

[oldgrowth]

3. Saudi Arabia is playing a bigger part than Iran

[Swamp Rat]

9. But the Saudis and the Bushies are best buddies

[cboy4]

4. What in the hell is he talking about?

:crazy:

[Lasher]

17. Don't ask him, he doesn't know.

He says the easy path is to end involvement in Iraq and simply hope for the best. Isn't that better than staying in Iraq and simply hoping for the best?

[Swamp Rat]

20. He's rambling... Disjointed talking points.

[Gelliebeans]

25. I think he is concerned.

:crazy:

[Hissyspit]

5. Good morning, folks. I feel like James Stewart in "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington"

Well, not quite. I've been up this late lately, anyway.

[Hissyspit]

7. Oh, no MoveOn.org! Heavens!

(Coleman)

[Gelliebeans]

8. Goodmorning to you

:hi: Glad to have you here.

[cui bono]

10. And yet you're posting like Bill Murray from "Groundhog Day"

:P

[Hissyspit]

14. Everyone left the last thread on me!

Everyone left the last thread on me!

[Hissyspit]

15. Everyone left the last thread on me!

Uh, oh...

I think I can learn to love Andie MacDowell.

[cui bono]

28. LOL

[SeattleGirl]

19. Not your fault, darlin'.

I just decided to start a new thread. :hug:

[Gelliebeans]

I love that movie

[SeattleGirl]

11. Damn, but wasn't that a great movie????

I am embarrassed to admit, however, that it was only about 6 months ago that I finally saw that movie. :blush:

[Hissyspit]

35. It was many, many years before I ever saw it all the way through.

Although I remember seeing the filibuster part - when collapses - when I was a kid.

[Lasher]

12. Mornin' Hissy.

Fun crowd here.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

16. Ah, all those maps completely won me over

Just seeing maps and pointers and naming the countries all around Iraq, that just got me to come on board, whatever they're saying. Who cares about an unwinnable quagmire when you've got maps?

[SeattleGirl]

23. Woohoo!!! Maps! I lurves me some maps! They don't call me the MapQueen

for nothin'.

Having said that, however, WTF do maps have to do with anything for this debate?????

[Maddy McCall]

24. They had to bring their own graphic into chamber so that they...

wouldn't look bad for taking down the one that says "Let us vote" everytime one of them speaks.

I think, anyway...

:D

[RadiDem]

21. Switched to West Coast reply of JS and SC - join you in 12 mins

[Tatiana]

22. Norm Coleman really grates on my nerves. n/t

[cboy4]

26. I do agree with one thing he said:

"Madam president, I yield the floor."

[SeattleGirl]

29. hahaha!

[Hissyspit]

27. Bob Casey having a hard time keeping his eyes open.

[Maddy McCall]

31. I'd like to get ahold of that monobrow.

I didn't just say that.

Oh, and good morning hissy.

:hi:

[Gelliebeans]

34. I hear ya...me and wax strips

hee hee :hide:

[SeattleGirl]

40. I have some right here that I'd be willing to give him.

[Gelliebeans]

44. Once you get the hang of it

it's a beauty.

[Maddy McCall]

42. He's a good looking guy.

would be really cute without the brow.

Oh, and I agree with everything he says. Right on, Bob!

:D

[SeattleGirl]

32. I think most of them are.

[cui bono]

38. Good. I've had to work many an all nighter for no good reason.

At least this is important!

[Tatiana]

33. LOL! I noticed. n/t

[SeattleGirl]

36. Damn. Just looking at him makes me want to bring out the Scotch tape.

[cboy4]

48. You realize all of these playful comments about our people would be

misinterpreted during normal DU hours and erupt into huge flame wars!!

LOL!!!

[cui bono]

91. They'd all be keeled over from heart attacks after the Hilary portion.

:rofl:

[cboy4]

100. hahahahaha

[Swamp Rat]

39. He's doing damn well at remembering our wounded!

:kick:

[Maddy McCall]

46. Yes, he is.

:thumbsup:

[Tatiana]

37. Casey reminds me of Bert from Sesame Street.

[SeattleGirl]

41. LOL!

[Lasher]

50. Who would be the Senate equivalent of Ernie?

I can't think of one.

[Swamp Rat]

43. Kick ass Casey!!! ... SUPPORT THE TROOPS!!!

[Swamp Rat]

49. "Referee a civil war!" .... great phrase!

Now about Levin and Reed.

[Lasher]

53. Yes, that was very good. Bears repeating over and over on the Sunday talk shows.

It is good that they are having this debate. The truth can get out without interference from the likes of Tweety and Tater Head.

[Hissyspit]

45. Casey: "Our leaving will not be a defeat."

"Our troops have done their job."

They "are referreeing a civil war. We should never" do that.

[Lasher]

47. What was that 'up or down vote' thingy the Senate Publicans used to talk about?

They don't say that any more. Wonder why not? I'm confused.

[Swamp Rat]

52. The DC Madame knows.

Up or down. :D

[Tatiana]

56. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[Lasher]

58. Heh heh. So does Larry Flynt.

Sez he has 30 names.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1363696&mesg_id=1363696

[cboy4]

62. Oh god...barfffff

[cui bono]

80. HAHA

[Gelliebeans]

54. That is a very good question Lasher.

I think I smell a bit of hypocrisy on their part.

[Lasher]

64. Oh no, surely the 'family values party' is incapable of hypocrisy!

I mean, they're all like Ward and June Cleaver, right?

[Gelliebeans]

73. Why do celebrate regression?

I often am astounded how they just love to reminisce about "the good ol days"

[RadiDem]

55. They should have some of that US Gov Meth available like the B1 pilots use!

[oldgrowth]

57. 5 am et

[RadiDem]

59. Isn't there a quorum count due?

[SeattleGirl]

63. I believe so., I think Reid called for one at this time.

Perhaps he is waiting until Casey finishes.

[Tatiana]

60. ***Ding*** "Give us more time." "Stay the course."

'Every time the President asks for more time, there is only one group of Americans that pay the price: the troops and their families. They do the dying and the bleeding for this policy.'

FREAKING AMEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

[Gelliebeans]

61. One more R will make it to GP

[Lasher]

66. Done.

[SeattleGirl]

70. Thanks to whoever gave rec #5. Can't recommend my own threads.

[Gelliebeans]

76. I am keeping an eye out g/f

;)

[Lasher]

77. You're welcome.

[Hissyspit]

65. Candlelight Vigil, senators and reps speaking is HERE:

Posted by MiaCulpa. Please recommend the video to GP.

[cboy4]

67. My favorite part of his speech...

"Mr president, I yield the floor."

(talking about Barrasso of course)

[Ghost in the Machine]

114. now I'm going to have to do two or 3 more days of work, going back over

the Madam's list, because I swear I saw this name (Barrasso) when I was researching numbers last week....

[Tatiana]

68. This amendment is about staying the course versus charting a new course.

Casey, YES!

[Hissyspit]

69. Wow, a virgin.

Craig Thomas' replacement, Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY). Has never spoken to Senate.

[SeattleGirl]

74. You know how the Pukes lurves dem virgins!

[Swamp Rat]

75. LOLOL!!!! HE WORKS AT UNUSUAL HOURS!!!

Hangs with Vitter in the Quarter! ... :D

[RadiDem]

78. Starts by complaining about how small the TV audience will be at this hour! LOL!

[Swamp Rat]

71. Thank you Bob Casey!

:applause:

[RadiDem]

72. Yes

[SeattleGirl]

79. No, no, NO, Barrasso! The troops want to return for their buddies,

not our "freedoms".

[Swamp Rat]

81. Asshat! ... Wounded troops can't wait to return?!?

:puke:

[Tatiana]

83. Wounded troops with "missing limbs."

Yeah, sure.

[Tatiana]

92. ROLL CALL! n/t

[SeattleGirl]

85. I hear that some of them do, but it's NOT for the reasons that Bush and

the repukes say; it's because they feel guilty about leaving their buddies behind.

And that it is saddest thing of all.

[cui bono]

106. Disgusting that that seems to be their new talking point.

Lindsey Graham tried to get it out on MTP. Webb slammed him down.

[Hissyspit]

82. He doesn't get it. Any of it.

Bland red-state political appointee.

[Swamp Rat]

84. Great! ... Fascist rodeos in Wyoming.

Heil! :eyes:

[RadiDem]

86. Maybe he could tame those wily Iraqis with some RODEO DAYS ! Cotton Candy!

[Hardrada]

87. I have been following off and on, noticed the maps and thought

McCain needed a pointer to indicate which countries were which. But that could have turned into a Jay Leno bit! So..no pointer. This is all a bit too late even for moi and so I shall go now to let Morpheus unravel the twisted skein of cares or whatever the fuck that was. Gute Nacht, Genossen!

[Swamp Rat]

93. boa noite

:boring:

[Gelliebeans]

88. mmmkay

he is hauling out the patriotism I mean jingoism...:eyes:

[SeattleGirl]

89. Roll call!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

90. Freedom, freedom, troops, troops, terror, terror, Al Qaeda, Al Qaeda

I think he fulfilled his marching orders (Senator Barrasso, that is).

[SeattleGirl]

96. Hmmm, where have I heard that before?

:scratches head:

:rolls eyes:

:squishes eyes:

:furrows brow:

OH YEAH!

NOW I REMEMBER!!!

Hear it every fucking time a Puke gets up to talk!!!!!

Damn, I feel so much better now! :eyes:

[Gelliebeans]

94. Question???

Who's voice always calls roll? Sorry, I am an idiot.

[RadiDem]

98. SGT at Arms, I think

[Gelliebeans]

99. thanks

he sounds a bit sleepy and annoyed.

[Tatiana]

95. ROLL CALL!

Is there a quorum, I wonder?

[Lasher]

97. That guy calling for votes sounds like a tape that's running too slow.

Last all nighter I participated in was a load of fun. Some of these folks don't seem to like it.

Edit: OK Reid has requested attendance of absent Senators. Git yer chickenhawk asses back in there and suffer! Now sit up straight!

[SeattleGirl]

101. Is that Hil in the purple shawl?

[Lasher]

108. If it looks like she's wearing a night gown that's her.

[Kurovski]

102. Great job woth these threads, SeattleGirl!

:thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

103. Thanks.

:toast:

[cboy4]

I agree!!

:thumbsup:

[Gelliebeans]

105. I second that!

[still_one]

104. good for Reid calling the Senators back to the floor

those cowards who won't allow an up or down vote care nothing for our troops

[SeattleGirl]

107. Agreed. And several hours ago, he said he would be doing another

roll call about this time.

Time to rouse them all from the cots!

[cboy4]

109. I'm still hoping the capitol police carry in a uncooperative Republic

feet first!!

[Swamp Rat]

110. WAKE UP TED STEVENS!!

I bet he's really grumpy!! :D

[Gelliebeans]

111. Is it time yet for another one

while they call roll? Just tell me to shut up if I am being annoying. :blush:

[SeattleGirl]

112. THREAD #16 HERE:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1365163

Come on over, y'all! Water's fine!

[cui bono]

113. They need a couple Blue Heelers to round up the repubs.
