A Turning Tide for Bolton
By DAVID BROOKS
The momentum has shifted on John Bolton's nomination because it's become clear that while he's abrasive, he is professional.

1. how many bozos will it take to be nominated
before people realize that just because someone is a Repuke or Bush's choice doesn't make them competant? (imho, those two prerequisits imply that they are anything but competant, but I'm talking about pundits, not real people).

There were cum stains all over the article -- had to wipe my screen thoroughly after clicking on it.

Bolton's Chances for Approval Brighten
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=3&u=/ap/20050512/ap_on_go_co/un_ambassador

:puke:

(Could only manage one puke emoticon this morning -- I am so benumbed by this administration these days.)

Edited to add:
Dig this unbiased writing:
"An energetic diplomat who pioneered a program to curb the spread of dangerous weapons technology, Bolton has strong ties to political conservatives inside and outside the administration and shares their skepticism about some international treaties."

Well, hellfire, what patriotic American would vote against someone who is so solid, working so hard to curb that dangerous weapons technology that wants to blow us all to kingdom come? Those filthy Democrats!!!!
:grr:

8. AP is now 70-90% an arm of the Busheviks
It only makes sense, like their stealing and parasitizing into a Party Organ the DC Court of Appeals, which is a pathetic joke worthy of Hitler or Stalin's "Courts".

Like the DC Court, in media the AP is a similar keystone through which much of the Nation, particularly small-town papers, get their "news".

Therefore, subverting, destroying, and turning into a Bushevik Organ was essentialy and, in retrospect, was likely one of their first targets along with the DC "Court" of Appeals on the Judicial front.

AP still provides a thin veneer of "imparitality" cloaking it's use of Bushevik PR and the huge use of Gingrich's "Contrasting Words" daily.

3. He will probably get nominated but not because he is qualified
He will get the nomination because of ARM TWISTING.
That is the whole reason for the delay, to twist a few arms, now that has been accomplished they will proceed with another coronation of one of bu$h's idiots.

5. OMG... I made my second trip ever to Freep
Nazi-Death-Murder-Hate cult forum and they have a poll on bolton who they love so much they overwhelmingly voted for him to be appointed. Never fails with the lemmings. Blow job? Crime damn it. Fabricating documents and taking the nation into a war under false pretenses, creating a nuke nightmare via his hate-freep crap, and all of the other lovely criminal activity is okay by them.

My god, they are like special plans robots distributed into communities to lie, lie, lie.

But if you consider how aggressively hateful they are, how vindictive and disciplined they are in their underhanded crap... fits right into Bolton's cult.
