15. woo--i'd recommend this post of yours if i could.
very well said.

you know, i thought arlen did a lot better when he had no hair--when he had "the cancer" and was getting his treatments--when he thought he was gonna die he grew a bit of a conscience.

well, that's all in the past. cancer gone--hair back--and sucking george bush off again! (ah, the life of a republican...)

6. Specter is a whining gasbag with a mouthful of marbles...Jeebus.
Accusing Reid of being rude and dictatorial.
Yeah, we're all concerned about his feelings while dozens are being killed every day in Iraq.
Self important doesn't look good during a debate like this.

7. *Crying*???? Big Politicians Don't Cry!
Has he suddenly got an attack of conscience, or has he realized what this is going to do to his re-election chances?

13. Yep. Biden's son is serving in Iraq.
See prior thread:

No Other Way To Say This: Torture Memos Reveal Fascist Mentality
June 17, 2004
By Bernard Weiner, The Crisis Papers

<snip>

CONVENTION PROTECTS U.S. TROOPS

Before moving on to those infamous torture-memos themselves, it might be a good time to remind ourselves - as Senator Joe Biden did to Ashcroft the other day - why the U.S and other countries many decades ago established the Geneva Conventions and, later, international anti-torture treaties.

As Biden said, his eyes flashing, his teeth bared in barely-concealed anger:

"There's a reason why we sign these treaties: to protect my son in the military. That's why we have these treaties, so when Americans are captured they are not tortured. That's the reason, in case anybody forgets it." (As if to underline that point, the group that took an American hostage the other day in Saudi Arabia said he would be treated the same way the U.S. soldiers treated prisoners in Abu Ghraib.)

14. Biden- the war in Iraq is a Bush fulfilling action.
Damn! Are you listening, Spector? That's what this is about. A dialog. You have to listen to the truth, even if you don't like it.

17. Maybe it's him on the madam's list..
or maybe he's crying for his lost integrity and all of the crimes against our country he's been covering up all these years?
