ME Too aND i KNOW MORE than a couple,

Yeah...I don't know why. I mean, I even had it happen with my school's wirelss net.

Me thinks it is something to do with my laptop itself.

*sighs*

If it isn't one thing, it's another with that thing.

Quick, someone google "ugly mofos mouth on mouth" and see what you get!

DAMN! I did, and my Hard drive crashed! Thanks for nuttin!

Why does the left like Bolton again?  Oh thats right, he's "mean" to people.

For the record, Bolton resigned because a REPUBLICAN Senate would NOT confirm him. If the President made another recess appointment, Bolton would have to work for free.

It's not just the left that dislikes Bolton. A little research would show that he's caused Secretary Rice a lot of headaches acting on his own instead of representing the policy of the US as formulated by the State Department. Remember, as an Ambassador, he answers to Rice--and she should not be spending her time mending bridges that he burned.

Wrong answer shades! For the record it was the "democrats" filibustering his nomination.

Senate Holds Off on Bolton Confirmation Friday, May 27, 2005 E-MAIL STORY RESPOND TO EDITOR PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION WASHINGTON — The vote on John Bolton (search) to be the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has been blocked, with Democrats trying to force the White House to release long-sought classified information about the controversial nominee, or perhaps to pick someone else for the job.

Please check the date.

idestepping Senate, Bush sends Bolton to U.N. Recess appointment ends nomination impasse Tuesday, August 2, 2005; Posted: 12:06 a.m. EDT (04:06 GMT) What Is This? WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush plucked his long-stalled nomination of John Bolton for U.N. ambassador out of the hands of the Senate on Monday, naming the controversial nominee to the post through a recess appointment. Bush said the job at the United Nations was "too important to leave vacant any longer, especially during a war and a vital debate about U.N. reform." "His mission is now to help the U.N. reform itself to renew its founding promises for the 21st century," Bush told reporters. The newly minted ambassador was sworn in and flew to New York to assume his duties Monday afternoon. The president's move comes nearly five months after he tapped Bolton to serve as the head of the U.S. mission to the United Nations, and six weeks after a second attempt to move his nomination through the Senate failed. Senate Democrats -- joined by a prominent Republican, Ohio Sen. George Voinovich -- blocked a final vote on Bolton amid concerns about his record, demands for the White House to release certain documents and questions about whether he had the temperament to serve in a critical job.

Hey mod man, try keeping your replies (if they turn out to be long), to a short length. I tried that, and it worked.

Wrong answer shades! For the record it was the "democrats" filibustering his nomination.

Yes and no, technically it was many (if not all) democrats, and one "prominent Republican, Ohio Sen. George Voinovich."

Prs. Bush didn't just "give" on this one, he accepted his Lame Duck status and threw himself into the flow.

Republicans have long been hoping to see Prs. Bush stand up to the "nuclear option". We have hoped he would let the democrats and RINOs in the Senate talk their way into a corner.

Prs. Bush had his last chance with Bolton. Here was a more than qualified nominee who has already proven himself in his temp position. To filibuster Bolton would be nothing short of hatemongering. It was the perfect opportunity for Prs. Bush... but he squandered it.

In doing so he has told the world that his administration is officially over.

Yes and no, technically it was many (if not all) democrats, and one "prominent Republican, Ohio Sen. George Voinovich."

Only "one" which is NOT what shades is saying. Now is it?

Wrong answer shades! For the record it was the "democrats" filibustering his nomination

Most recently, it was Senator Chafee (A REPUBLICAN) who put a hold on the nomination. No one filabustered the nomination because it never made it to the floor.

Only "one" which is NOT what shades is saying. Now is it?

Dr. Miler did you read what I said? I said a REPUBLICAN Senate would not confirm him. Currently the Senate is republican (as in the Republican's have power, for at least a couple more weeks anyway), and currently the President can't get the Bolton nomination through (which was the reason behind the first recess appoinment--so which part did you think I was wrong about?

The nomination did not make it out of the Foreign Relations Committee--which again, because the Republicans are in the majority, they have a majority of the seats on the committee. All they needed was to pass the nomination out of the committee by one vote, and they couldn't muster that. Let's not pretend that this is a partisan issue. People on both sides of the aisle think Bolton is a terrible UN Ambassador and he has done a dreadful job while he's been at the UN. Secretary Rice has spent her days apologizing for his behavior--he's a liability, not an asset--and it's about time he found himself a new job.

his admin ended nov. 7th this year ted..sucks.

Yes and no. He still had until the new congress to get things done. Not pushing Congress for Bolton's confirmation showed the world he isn't willing to do much of anything anymore. So yes his administration ended on the 7th, but it didn't have to.
