Flip Flop Frist.....

WASHINGTON - Reversing field after a meeting with President Bush, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said he will continue pushing for a floor vote on John R. Bolton for U.N. ambassador. Frist switched his position after initially saying Tuesday that negotiations with Democrats to get a vote on Bolton had been exhausted.

3. * wants the cover Senate approval affords on nominees

If he recess appoints, attacking Iran becomes more difficult.

5. He wants to push it even if it means going nuclear

If he recess appoints Bolton and we attack Iran, he has no cover from the legislative branch. All responsibilty lies with the executive branch in that case and he cannot point to anything remotely resembling "bipartisanship" in an attack on the sovereign nation of Iran.

6. We are not getting the message out...NO DOCUMENTS/no vote

We need to make it simple so the idiot reporters can handle it at the briefings..."why won't the president supply the Senate the documents requested"? "Why is the president preventing Bolton getting a vote"? What is the basis for the president refusing to give the Senate the documents"? etc..... We are not hearing these questions....and it's so fucking simple!!!!!!!!!!!!!
