1. The web link

[charlyvi]

3. Why did Frist vote Nay?

What are we being set up for?

[medeak]

2. Frist voted nay? n/t

[Vincardog]

4. He voted LAST the thing was already decided when it was 41 nay

[DaveinMD]

5. by voting no

he can file a motion to reconsider

[ticapnews]

6. Procedural

He switched his vote to No at the end so he can move to reconsider next week. Had he voted Aye tonight, he couldn't have. It was all procedure.

Like Kerry's votes that got hung around his neck last year...

[Cha]

7. It looks screwed

up! I kept checking to see what I was reading wrong.

[dweller]

8. it's procedural

edit: what they said.

9. And Voinovich voted

yay for bolton?

[Pinboy]

13. He voted as he said he would...

FOR cloture; but he intends to vote AGAINST Bolton when the nomination itself comes to a vote.

[IChing]

10. Inouye (D-HI)

Boy he's been a disappointment lately

[dweller]

11. that's 3 he's missed

wonder what's up with him?

dp

[MoJoWorkin]

16. I am wondering if Inouye is ill

I think this might be the case, as he has not voted, and I think he would have

[angryinoville]

12. Voinovich,Nelson and Pryor voted yea?

[AllyCat]

14. Don't forget Landrieu!

And to think people were touting her as a running mate for Kerry on many boards. Ugh!

[MeDeMax]

17. makes no sense at all

Voinovich votes YEA;

Frist votes NAYE;

McCain comes out saying Bolton is the tough & right man for the job, at a time when our credibility is at historic lows and everyone who has worked for, or with, Bolton labels him a "serial abuser".

Meanwhile there isn't a squeak about Galloway's testimony that exposes the fact that the admin basically fabricated the whole "Oil for food scandal", trumped up charges against Kofi's kid and other enemies of the admin, since Kofi called the iraqi war illegal.

[xultar]

19. You guys aren't getting it. IT IS A VOTE FOR CLOTURE...limiting debate

some of it wanna get on with it and vote against the guy.

[AllyCat]

20. They want to vote against a guy who is going to pass the vote!

They need to get this document out about him and need time (if anything will help expose it). A vote today would have meant Bolton was in. And they all knew it. Yes, it was a vote for or against cloture, but allowing the full Senate vote today would have brought this freak into the UN forthwith.

[realFedUp]

21. It's also a message to the WH to quit circle jerking the Senate

This WH thinks it can do anything and
get away with it and so far it has...
if the Senators want to keep some semblance
of power in that branch, there really
has to be some brakes in this confirmation.

I think the guy has a good future in
white collar crime. The bar is so much
lower in this administration, just shuffling
the crooks around.

I am very disappointed in Senator Landrieu...
hope she can see that Bolton is just one
of the chefs in the cooking of Iraq.

[autorank]

22. Pryor says he's a born again Christian and I believe him.

So Sen. Pryor, how do you justify voting for a guy who lies, harasses staff of either gender, and whose wife left him after she says he forced her to participate on group sex.

I just don't get these people who claim to be so Godly all the time. Why don't they act that way? Because, Pryor is totally FOS (full of shit), that's why.

[sellitman]

15. Lie-berman voted with the Dems?

OMFG!!!!!!!

:wow:

[MeDeMax]

18. QUIK, grab something fast...

we are about to be hit by a quake of shattering proportions.

Wait a minute, isn't Lie-b a Dem ? even if it doesn't seem that way most of the time.
