nuclear option

How can we,for the good of the nation,get rid of John McCain??Senator McCain was the ring leader of a compromise in the senate to avert the activation of the so called "Nuclear Option" which would have changed the rules of the senate to force an up or down vote on president Bush's appellate court nominations.The deal goes like this [ as I understand it.]Seven republicans promise to side with the democrats and vote against the rules change,confirm three of the ten judicial nominees G.W.B. wants,and to oppose any rules change for the remainder of this term of the legislature[about one and a half more years.]If I were George W.Bush,I would veto every piece of legislation that crossed my desk from now on.I would tell them that if they want super-majorities,that's What we shall have.Effectively,now John McCain is the president,and because of him and six other nitwit republican weenies,George W.Bush is the first president in the history of America who doesn't get to nominate who he wants to the courts.It is an outrage,and shouldn't be tolerated.The MAJORITY of the American people put republicans in charge of all three branches of government for a reason.WE THE PEOPLE are uncomfortable with the direction that government has taken over the last couple of decades,and went to the ballot box and said so,and what do we get?We get a bunch of limp-wristed spineless idiots who are more worried about what the enemy thinks of them than they are of what the people who put them there wanted them to do.When are they going to grow a backbone and do their job?DO NOT FORGET ABOUT THIS.Senator McCain is angling for the 2008 republican presidential nomination.He is a democrat and a liar.Nobody should ever vote for him for anything EVER AGAIN.Senator McCain has done nothing but undermine the conservative cause since he lost his bid for the republican presidential nomination in 2000.The McCain-Finegold attack on freedom of speech backfired by creating the 527 group "Swift Boat Veterans For Truth",causing senator John "f"ing Kerry to lose the 2004 presidential race,and since then senator McCain has been engaged in a crusade to thwart president Bush from accomplishing anything of substance.This latest end-run around the republican leadership just re-enforces his status as a traitor to his party and serves to undermine his credibility.He should be recalled and made to run as a democrat just to see if he could win election as a democrat.I doubt that he could.He is a petty little hack who wants the press to love him.He doesn't represent the people who voted for him,and I have no respect for someone like that.

No, a small handful of people in the senate who weren't completely nuts decided that enough was enough. A bunch of crybabies who want to pack the court with lunatics want to derail how business is done and basically rewrite the constitution, fine, but remember: the filibuster has often been how the GOP got it done when they weren't running the show, and it needs to be there.
And that assertion of yours that no other president had this hard of a time getting justices confirmed is just pure crap. Read your history-matter of fact, start with FDR alone.

No, Bachelor, The people of the United States of America went to the ballott box and selected republicans by majority vote to install judges on the courts, and a handful of lunatics hijacked the process.
You need to study up on your civics. LOSERS do not get to set policy or agendas...

Owners also are disappointed or frustrated when giving medications which do no help their pets to recover from allergies or other maladies. You're on vacation to relax, unwind, and enjoy yourself and the beauty of Sedona, not to worry if your dog is being walked or fed.
