Just as your super hero in the oval office john bolton thinks telling not talking is the only way to go.
The elections should have shown you something and it wasn't just democrats making that statement republicans feel the same way. ( way past time to go about things a little differently )
Bush tries to be the tough guy on the block to bad he didn't show some of that back in the days of vietnam. The only thing he showed was that he didn't have the stomach or the backbone he was a coward.
He lied to start this OIL excursion for all his cronies so they could put some jingle in their pockets.
So this is what you think heroes are made of.

Bush stated last Wednesday that he would work with the Dems in "a new era of bipartinship". Right out od the box, he send up Bolton again for confirmation knowing there's no way that will happen.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.......

Oh, and by the way. Just because the UN doesn't bow to every whim of the US the second we want it to proves that the UN DOES work. The UN was created to keep the peace and protect small nations unable to protect themselves from larger, more powerful ones. It wasn't created to be the politcal tool of the current superpowers.

But I do agree with you, I also don't want my tax dollars going to a corrupt institution - the US Congress. That's why pople voted democrat.

The dems haven't given a reason why Bolton shouldn't be UN ambassador? Uh, maybe because the reason was obvious? Bolton hates the UN and doesn't believe in it or it's mission. He's an undiplomatic jerk in a place where diplomacy is required.

Bolton being the US ambassador to the UN is like naming Rush Limbaugh head of the ACLU or Jim Brady head of the NRA. No great mystery here.

So the Dems still don't like John Bolton...

They won't give us a *** reason why except that unlike Andy Boy Young he stood tall in the saddle in defending American interests.

So who does Harry Patheticman Reid and Plastic Princess Pelosi wish to offer us? Maxine Waters??? Cindy Sleazehand??? George the Collaborator Soros??? or do they wish to give us back the President from Hamas, Peanut Boy Coward and Bigot Carter?

Better yet, how about this, Dems? I don't need my taxpayer dollars going to a corrupt institution that is about as worthwhile as its predecessor, the League of Nations. Let's see if you've got the cojones to take us out of the UN and move it back to Geneva.

Oh horrors, Plastic girl certainly won't go for that. It's a tax, and its the UN after all, two of her favorite things.

You are correct, they walked down the road to war hand in hand. Its going to be very interesting to see how the dem majority is going to handle it, as they were a part of the decision. There is no easy answer, but we have given way too much for a country that does not want or understand democracy.

Does eveyone here forget that Iraq was a republican/Democratic operation? I am pretty sure I remember a vote in congress. Yes, very sure.

How convienient of Democrats to be able to pretend that they had nothing to do with it .. calmly stab every friend we ever had in the back, as they jump ships like rats when the going gets tough, leaving them wishing they had never dealt with the US. Way to go dems.

Democrats seem to have no concience, or judgement between right or wrong. Only what serves their purposes at any given moment in time.

Blah Blah Blah.

I am not sure why I come here anymore. Its like school children picking on some kid you hate because you don't like the way he looks.

Blah Blah Blah.. Bush is stupid ... Blah Blah Blah.

Has anyone got any idea why you hate BOLTON, and Bush is stupid for nominating him? No.

Bolton is very sharp, and has been extremely effective at the UN. It is the presidents perrogative to appoiont his Amb. to the UN. and the Senate should have to at the very least give a reason for rejecting him. (oh, I see, they heard he yelled at his aids before) Anyone ever heard how Hillary talks to her underlings?

It is easy to see that the one Republican holdout on the commitee was holdng out for political reasons, (Chaffee)hoping to win his re election in a very very blue state. Otherwise it was a straight party line vote with Democrats opposing Bolton on the grounds that ... well ... it was something they could do to hurt Bush.

So liberals here don't like him cause someone said he was mean? Grow up.

Please use your spellchecker! As for your intelligence...well, I don't know, you just suck sooo badly!

Mc Cain today said we need to increase troop levels in Iraq as well as "train and equip Iraqi troops, et cetera."

McCain has apparently been spending too much time inside the Bush bubble smoking who knows what.

His chances of becoming the next President are starting to look mighty hopeless - about as hopeless as his plan to have the Iraqis stand up after only three years of training.
