Never underestimate the foul power of Freepers. Their hate-and-fear-fueled, inflatible, portable outrage can be pumped-up and form-fitted to any situation. Today, they've got each other convinced that America will fall if the right-wing doesn't get its way on Bolton -- just as they convince themselves (they really do!) that America will fall if ... Clinton isn't impeached... the vote-count isn't stopped in Florida ... the Patriot Act isn't passed ... whatever.
This Bolton deal has them howling at the moon. I think because they watched their side get snookered on live TV, just when they were ready to pat themselves on the back for bullying their partisan way through another formerly bipartisan process.
They are SO mad that they've been assaulting Voinovich's office with unusual persistence and vitriol for the past several days. And you can bet they'll keep it up. Soon, I expect the Broadcast versions of Freepers (Hannity, O'Reilly, Hume, Scarborough, etc., etc.) to add their vibrating uvulas to the gathering din.
And then, I'm sad to say, I expect to see Voinovich bow to the enormous pressure and change his vote back to "Whatever you guys want" -- which is what good little Republicans are supposed to do in matters of conscience. Hagel will follow and then Chafee.
Freepers have some kind of tenth-level wizard spell that enables them to appear to be fifty times as many people as they actually are. When they don't get their own way, they whine like banshees -- all of them, in wailing unison, until they finally DO get their own way. They can whine, scream, stomp, spit, snarl, and snap at people like Voinovich for hours. And then call back right away pretending to be someone else who is just as outraged.
If they weren't so destructive, they'd be laughable, these Freepers.
They're like spoiled little kids with Uzis.
