[FreedomAngel82]

2. I hope so too

I'm not hoping too much but I hope so. I'm listening to him now. I adore Harry. I love how he's soft spoken but tough.

[Greybnk48]

3. please keep us informed

I'm not a cube rat, but I can't watch. I get too upset.

[rodeodance]

4. wHe sounds a tad bit upset. (I missed the press conf today).

[lonestarnot]

5. watching

[rodeodance]

6. Did Bush push the PA today? (I imagine he did).

[rodeodance]

7. He is questioning the trust and credibility of Jr -seems to me.

[Greybnk48]

10. yes he did

he said it was essential (paraphrase)

[rodeodance]

8. whats up?--why would he shut the Senate down?

[rodeodance]

9. Harry__saying Reagan said 'trust but verify"

[rodeodance]

11. Durbin said Jr said-we can not be without PA act for a moment.

[rodeodance]

12. sounds like Jr was talking of trust and credibility this morning?

[Greybnk48]

13. The repubs attached ANWR to the defense bill

[Norquist Nemesis]

14. If PA goes down, it's the President's fault!

:thumbsup: !!!!

Putting the blame squarely where it belongs! Says all the President has to do is pick up the phone to the Majority Leader and go with the 3 month extension until it can be worked out in a bi-partisan way.

[rodeodance]

15. good for him

[Norquist Nemesis]

16. Judd Gregg trying to attack him now

Saying it's Reid's fault because he led the opposition to not have cloture.

[Norquist Nemesis]

17. Kyl now objecting to a proposal by Reid for 3 month extension

Republicans seem to be gathering on the floor...

[doublethink]

18. What was that bs all about some kid killing his parents .....

50 years ago and being an orphan. GAwwwwwwwd Repubs are insane. They have no argument in truth. About anything, they sure reach for some odd comparisons sometimes. Peace.

[Norquist Nemesis]

20. He's trying to put the blame on Reid for no cloture

because Reid said it was Bush's fault if the PA goes down. Spin spin spin

Durbin back up now defending Reid. :)

[Viva_La_Revolution]

27. It is Reid's fault...

He refused to let a bad piece of legislation remain a law. It needs to be fixed.

Go Harry!

[maddezmom]

22. heard that....they are pathetic

:puke:

[doublethink]

25. May I join you?

:puke:

[doublethink]

19. dupe ....

DU must be getting server overload again ...

[Skidmore]

21. What is this Kabuki dance going on now?

[ThomWV]

23. I Don't Understand What's Going On

He wants, and we want an extension to the existing patriot act while the modified patriot act is being further considered.

Is the question on the floor only the 3 month extension?

[Norquist Nemesis]

24. At the moment, yes and Kyl's objecting

Love Durbin's response that since Kyl objects he is against the PA! :rofl:

[Norquist Nemesis]

26. Kyl up to spew

:puke:

[rd_kent]

28. Whats the latest?

INFO PLEASE!!!!

[cyberpj]

29. Kyl (R) Arizona suggests option of extending for one year.

Durbin says that would just allow congress to postpone it again until the last 30 days or so.

Arguments now going on about this concept.

[suffragette]

30. Kyl proposed extending PA for a year

Durbin disagreeing

[doublethink]

32. Durbin is correct ......

I always use the the philosophy of "The job expands to the time alloted" give it three months and you get busy. Give it a year and everyone forgets about it, put it on the back burner. Deadlines are a good thing sometimes. Peace. :)

[Rainscents]

33. NO Surrender!!!

[doublethink]

34. NEVER ......

EVER GIVE UP, NEVER EVER SURRENDER !!!!!! Peace. :)

[lonestarnot]

35. NEVER!

[doublethink]

36. NO NEVER......

EVER ....... :)

[Skidmore]

31. I guess they are negotiating the length of an extension.

Kyl wants 1 yr. I say not one second longer. Scrap it and do it over. Particularly given the current overreach of Mad George.
