John Bolton one, Democrats zero

President Bush uses his power to stop obstructionist Democrats

Published on August 1, 2005 By Moderateman In US Domestic

President George W. Bush today named John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations, using his power to make temporary appointments while Congress is in recess to overcome Senate Democrats who stalled a vote on the nomination.

Funny how the Democrats are now complaining of abuse of power by the president, when it's within the presidents power to make recess appointments and is done all the time.

These same Democrats that are so quick to scream abuse of power have not looked at there own abuses, A president pick for anything needs 51 votes to pass, but due to the filabuster the Democrats raised that bar to 60 votes, abuse of power? yes by you Democrats, not by this great President.

Poor democrats cannot seem to find anything to do but there usual obstruct, cry, whine and complain while offering nothing of substance.

No matter what you do Democrats MY President will find a way to get around you.

We need a straong envoy to the United Nations to get them under control, this body continues to state the two greatest threats to world peace are Israel and the United States.

All Bolton will accomplish is to further alienate us from the rest of the world. Another sign of how out of touch the current administration is.

When the rest of the world kisses Saddams ass, kowtows to the genocide in Rwanda and Sudan, Appoints the Sudan ambassador to the human rights commission, then perhaps it is best we thumb our nose at them. better to be able to look at that man in the mirror than to have 100 fawning sycophants.

Out of Touch? I think not. But the 'rest of the world' you claim sure is. Funny how that only seems to be Germany, France and Russia in the left playbook.

Bolton will just go in and be the same diplomat the rest of them are. A diplomat is a guy who can look a rapist in the face and ask him if she was cute. The United Nations are nothing but diplomats.

As EITHER side further abuses the use of the filibuster and stonewalls the duties of the Presidency, it will mean less and less. It isn't 'built in' and there's really no reason to respect it, other than the old back-slapping status quo of Washington.

Many people on either side question our parties because they seem to so easily allow the other to prevent them from advancing the agenda we send them to Washington to seek. We need to stop allowing them to use these petty excuses.

When we say "Why didn't you do 'x' like you said you would?" and they reply "Because we let them stop us when we really didn't have to." It should be obvious that they aren't doing their duty. If they have the votes, then allowing the minority to stonewall is just betraying the majority who voted them into office.
