CNN...Kerry calling for a filibuster on CNN???!!!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

Just on Randi Rhodes...a guy called in and said it was just announced on CNN that Kerry has called for a filibuster. Did anyone see the report? I don't watch CNN.

[jasmeel]

1. There's a couple threads about it on the greatest page.

[in_cog_ni_to]

3. Thanks. n/t

[MindPilot]

2. Maybe because of this on Bartcop?

Quote of the Day

"I am prepared to filibuster, if necessary,
any Supreme Court nominee who would
turn back the clock on a woman's right to
choose or the constitutional right to privacy,
on civil rights and individual liberties and on
the laws protecting workers and the environment,"
-- John Kerry, 2003

John, please stop making a liar out of yourself.
Filibuster Alito.

What are you afraid of?
Displeasing Mr. Rove?

[meegbear]

4. Ummm .... the post heading says "Kerry calling for a filibuster on CNN"

What part of that don't you understand?

[MindPilot]

umm, the part where you ask me what I don't understand.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

8. Seems like your Mind went on auto-pilot.

Speak not from your ass.

[jsamuel]

9. seems that way, doesn't it

[MindPilot]

36. Don't bother to think about what someone said

just pile on. thanks.

[MindPilot]

31. Simply seemed to be an interesting co-inky-dink

that Kerry announced his intention to filibuster right after Bart posted that. What did you think I meant?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

35. If you think Bartcop influences Kerry...

I stand by my original statements.

[MindPilot]

37. Holy crap! How stupid do you think I am?

I said it was an interesting coincidence.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

38. No one says that unless they're implying something.

[MindPilot]

39. And what am I implying? C'mon lay it out.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

41. I already did.

That you think Bartcop influenced Kerry. I don't know why else you'd point something like that out.

45. Projection as a rhetorical tool; unfortunately it doesn't work

You are the one making the baseless assertions.

[MindPilot]

46. Bet you think you're a big man now you got my post deteled.

Gotta go whining to the mods when someone calls you on your shit.

[blm]

12. Bartcop sure doesn't know REAL history, only how to defend Clinton.

Undergod love ya' bart, but did it ever occur to you that there is only one reason BushInc has so much power today? Because Clinton decided to MOVE ON from investigations of IranContra and BCCI right when they were proving the worst about the BFEE. He didn't want poor Poppy Bush to feel pressure in his retirement. How nice.

Read it for yourself in his book, My Life.

[TheWraith]

27. Bah.

Don't you think that it's a little dishonest to put all the blame for the Bush era on Clinton? Don't you think that maybe the Bush era is the fault of Bush and the people who put him there?

I swear, the only thing that some people here can ever think of is attacking the Clintons.

[blm]

32. I used to defend Clinton, too. Read his book, he dropped all investigation

into IranContra and BCCI crimes in favor of Poppy Bush having a peaceful retirement.

In fact, he never once even MENTIONS anything about BCCI in his book. Pretty damn odd, isn't it?

[Bluebear]

5. CONFIRMED

On right now

[jsamuel]

7. So, Kerry went on CNN personally?

[Bluebear]

10. The story is being announced. Along w/ Wolf warning it may BACKFIRE

Of course.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

13. Everything Dems do could backfire according to him.

That's one Wolf that should be hunted.

[LSparkle]

17. Not yet but they're reporting he'll make statement from Davos

within the next few hours.

This is perfect for Kerry (just as Randi said). If he never makes it to the WH, his legacy lies in the Senate and he's standing up for the entire Legislative Branch in opposing this nominee.

GOOD FOR HIM FOR FINALLY STANDING ON PRINCIPLE!

[KoKo]

47. Kerry is at the International Business Convention in DAVOS? Really?

Amazing...

[Sydnie]

14. Do tell - I am listening to Obama on the floor instead but I am interested

in what he is saying.

[liberalla]

40. Please share what Barack Obama said! Thanks!

[malaise]

6. Proud of Kerry

Go Kerry!!

[ClayZ]

11. "He is in Switzerland... but burning up the phone lines to DEMS."

[ClayZ]

15. He will have an announcement in an hour or so... says Wolfie.

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. Kerry will? n/t

[ClayZ]

30. Yes Kerry will! That is what Wolfie said.

Kerry is in Switzerland at an Economic Conference.

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. Kerry's in Switzerland??? WTF is he doing in Switzerland at a time like

THIS? That was reported on CNN?

[Hello_Kitty]

22. Snowboarding, duh!

.....just kidding

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. LOL...He's NOT there on vacation, is he?

[ClayZ]

28. He is at an Economic Conference

[orleans]

29. he's at a conference and there are several senators

including republicans who are overseas

and cnn said he's been burning up the phone lines all day to the other dem senators.

and at least he is calling for a filibuster. the first one call for it!

(i've been mad at him, but he gets a ton of points from me on this one)

[KoKo]

48. Well...good for him...Checking out the International Business Climate

Assume he's going to run in '08 since he was in the Middle East and everywhere last week. Doing his homework, I guess. Maybe somethings going to come out about Ohio vote...and he can be installed as the real President.

Or, maybe he's just protecting the Heinz Fortune. who knows with Kerry.

[blm]

33. His wife reps global philanthropic efforts. He's also speaking in Ireland

on Friday to a Peace Group.

[wicket]

34. He's at DAVOS

n/t

[VolcanoJen]

16. Finally finally finally

CNN's congressional correspondent says Kerry is furiously calling on party and liberal activists to support the filibuster.

"I can't do this alone," he's telling them.

GO JOHN GO!!!

[merbex]

19. You're not alone Senator! The grassroots are with you

and the netroots

I'm glad you're my Senator

[LSparkle]

21. I heard Barbara Boxer say on Tuesday that she'd support it

She said it would be difficult, but she wasn't ruling it out and I'm sure she'll get on board if Kerry's willing to lead.

I'm sure there are PLENTY of Democratic Senators who have WANTED a filibuster but didn't want to be the first one to say the word ... Now that they have someone to lead them, JUST YOU WATCH!!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. Oh, Boxer will be onboard! I'm worried about getting the 41 we

to support the filibuster. I hope Kerry and Kennedy can do some MAJOR arm twisting!
