[Up2Late]

5. Barbara Boxer is in the His-Souse!

Just saw her walk in behind Kerry as he is speaking. :evilgrin:

[fooj]

10. God, I love that woman!

:loveya:

[joanski0]

6. Kerry: Calling Kyl's arguments silly.

Sec. 215 allows the govt to obtain library, medical, gun records, etc, on a mere showing that those records are authorized for a government investigation. Kerry's going in detail now, and I can't keep up. Patriot Act.

[blm]

12. Said the GOP puts up a pretend argument to debate important issues.

Said that their entire claim to the American people is that the other side doesn't care about national security.

Said they use it to cynically keep the nation divided.

[sabra]

9. I like the title :-)

:yourock:

[Sydnie]

11. Yes, I do too!

:hi:

[LSK]

14. thanks

He sure sounds like a President. Looks like a President. Should be the President.

[Sydnie]

16. He IS my President

That other place holder is just a moran for the masses!

[joanski0]

13. There's no way for you to challenge

the gag order. ... We don't think it provides adeqate protection for Americans. ... Recipient for a 215 order is automatically silenced.

Conference report doesn't provide for judicial review.

[WiseButAngrySara]

15. Go Kerry! A "Game" (a bit more serious, IMHO.)

:kick:

[LSK]

17. Republicans putting oil companies ahead of the troops (ANWR)

[joanski0]

19. Kerry is really telling it like it is.

Go, Kerry! This ought to wake them up a bit.

[Cleita]

18. He's making a fine speech and is on fire.n/t

[Sydnie]

20. "This bill was held up because people on the other side

wanted to include torture". Says it could have been passed months ago if they weren't lobbying for torture!

[LSK]

21. cant have a Wilderness and an Industrial Zone in the same place

[Sydnie]

23. The entire complex is going to produce more pollution than

the entire city of Washington D.C. according to the oil industry themselves!

[LSK]

24. by 2020, drilling might reduce our costs by 2%

It has nothing to do with our immediate future. Vast other areas are currently available for drilling.

[Sydnie]

26. They made that point at their press conference this morning

100's of leases that have already been handed out that no one is moving on, including many in the other already developed Alsakan oil fields.

[doublethink]

22. .

:kick:

[LSK]

25. OMG they go from Kerry to the dumbest Senator EVER

Sessions is dummber than a stack of broomsticks!

[bj2110]

27. My brain twitches every time I hear Sessions talk. And it's not just

his accent. It's all the dumbass shit coming out of this muth...

[Skidmore]

29. Ah, yes, Jeff Sessions (R-Dork), the twang of democracy.

[doublethink]

30. Same thought entered my mind when Sessions came on my tv. n/t.

[Sydnie]

32. By the second word I was telling him to

shut the hell up and go sit down. I agree completely!

[Up2Late]

34. I was thinking the same thing, does he even know how many Senators...

...the Senate has? He started off saying, "The patriot act passed 80 ahh 81 to ONE! All of the Senate voted for it, except for One vote against..."

Hey Jeff! 50 States! 2 Senators Each! that equals 100 Senators! 100-1=99 votes to 1! :dunce:

[NightOwwl]

28. Small plane crash is sad...but not anywhere near as important...

as what is happening to our country today. CNN is breathless over it.

Meanwhile, ANWAR gets shoved illegally into a Defense bill and George Bush takes away our freedoms.

MSM should be covering Congress, not a small plane crash.

[Sydnie]

31. Ain't the rule of law in this democracry grand?

:sarcasm:
