Oh. My. God!! The Dems actually won a battle!

[Clark2008]

They effectively delayed the Bolton nomination!

It took the questions of a couple of Republicans - Voinovich and Hagel - but they're going to continue to call witnesses in to answer all the smarm that is churning out about Bolton!!

WAY TO GO!

[UCLA Dem]

1. Go Dems!!!

:yourock:

:applause: :applause:

[thoughtanarchist]

2. Woo Hoo!

:woohoo:

[roguevalley]

3. BWAHAHAHA! HUZZAH!

[calimary]

18. Voinovich needs to be THANKED:

Here's his contact info from DUer K8-EEE:

Honorable George V. Voinovich 524 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 [phone] Fax: [phone] TDD: [phone]

Got this from FR, he's getting Freeped, support Voinovich for doing the decent thing!!

[Skidmore]

4. Betcha Freepworld will be calling for Lugar's head on

a platter.

[saltpoint]

6. But they'll be disappointed if they open it up. Nothin' there.

I called Lugar's office today and spoke with an aide who was certainly brighter than the Senator.

Oh well. I like the outcome of this hearing on Bolton at the moment.

Cold beer and potato chips all around!

[Clark2008]

11. I bet they're really after Voinnie, too.

He was the person who really changed the dynamic.

[calimary]

16. So we need to be, also. Counter-acting their bile with our gratitude.

He needs to know he did a good thing.

[autorank]

5. I'm SO PROUD of our Senators. The first step on the road to sanity!

[Dr Fate]

7. And they deserve our thanks. Let them know you appreciate it.

We need to pound on them when they go along with Bush/media- but give them props when they work for the base.

Thanks DEMS!!!!

[blm]

8. All the Dems were relentless in appealing to the senate's integrity.

I think that is what finally turned Voinovich and Hagel into maybe's.

[housewolf]

9. I agree - it was Voinovich's statement

that he was concerned about the new allegations and wasn't comfortable voting to move the nomination out of committee without investigating the allegations.

[flpoljunkie]

13. Damn, I missed it! Had to go out. Hope CSpan replays or tapes the hearing.

After the April recess. Very interesting...April recess is over.

[ginnyinWI]

19. Yes--replay tonight

Cspan-2, 8 pm Eastern. Get the popcorn--the best committee hearing of this Congress!
:popcorn:

[ewagner]

10. Yeeeehaaaaaaaaw!

We won one it feels damned good.....

they were all great.

[ThumperDumper]

12. Cool, now if only...

Cool, now if only we could wrestle some headlines away from the Poop.

[Al-CIAda]

14. Good job I guess. Personally I wonder if it would have been better

to have that lunatic running around the UN pissing people off. That would be great IMO.

The real battle now is being descretly lost in the SHAM voting rights hearings going on. Conyers has been totally ignored and sounded the alarm. Where is the Dem support there?

[ClassWarrior]

15. Don't act so surprised!! Act like a winner.

B-)

Yeah, we rock.

NGU. :patriot:

[calimary]

17. And don't get complacent, either! This is only a partial victory, really.

Bolton's been pushed back to the doorway. We need to make sure he's pushed all the way OUT, and then the door SLAMMED AND LOCKED.

This. Is. NOT. Over.

PS: Hi, CW!

[ClassWarrior]

22. Never. Give. Up.

:hi: Mar!! Good to see you!...

NGU.

[ArnoldLayne]

20. Finally, Some good news

it's about time. :kick:

[Gothmog]

21. way to Go

This is great news. It is a delay but it may be enough time to find enough dirt on Bolton to kill his nomination.

[October]

23. It was a thing of beauty...

Passionate, eloquent, fuming, intelligent...the Republic at work.











Edited to correct a spelling error.

[xchrom]

24. i've e-mailed my senator and i'll call voinie

and thank him.

i'm happy to say ''thank you'' when they get it right.

but there's nothing more important than letting them know we are paying attention.

[janx]

25. But of course!

And there are many more successes to come.
