#2 Gutless indeed. They should be demanding that the Donks produce proof to back up their allegations or STFU. But no, these spineless wonders go right along. At this rate, by 2010, the Dems will hold power in all branches of government because at least they're willing to fight for what they believe in. It's the Republicans who are coming off as the political whores in all of this.

#3 This is all about making excuses. So Bolton landed on some subordinates? Treated a few people rudely? Golly gee, bet that's never happened in ~~Halliburton~~ ~~the Brookings Institute~~ ~~the Open Society Institute~~ Washington before.

Voinovich is calculating the political price he has to pay on Bolton, pro v con, and right now the con side is slightly ahead. Yes, he's a political whore, but aren't they all?

#4 I've already emailed Voinovich and let him know he will never get my vote for anything, anytime. He should resign in disgrace for this.

#5 WTF is wrong with the Republicans in the Senate? Are they scared to rule as a majority? All the time the Donks had PRIOR to the hearing and all of a sudden they come up with new charges at the END of the hearing process? What they did was calculate how much BULL SHIT they could trot out at one time and still have the THIN appearance of being truthful. What they did was plant some doubt with this small shit about being "mean" to subordinates. BFD if being mean meant you couldn't lead then Patton never would have been given a second command in WWII and that goes for most Generals and politician in the world. Now they probably have some woman that was traumatized after working for Bolton and he probably made her cry once. Once I would like the Senate to act like a Senate and not a ladies gossip session.

#6 The Senate Republicans are underwhelming at a minimum. Would someone tell me why Bill Frist is the majority leader? I mean, has the guy done anything to keep the troops in line? Bolton is exactly what the US needs at the UN right now. Voinovich should be run out of town on a rail, but so should Hagel, Snow and a few others. The lack of guts in domestic politics starts at the top with the president. He has used his veto power exactly never. Time to get some back bone.

#7 Agree with all of the above: the Senate Repubs are utterly spineless twits. After the last few years I can't see myself ever voting (D) again, but these Repubs are making it almost as hard to vote (R).

And, being in Mass, writing to my Senators is like spitting in the ocean.

#8 Gee - Voinovich's phone lines are all tied up. I'm shocked! Shocked I say!! C'mon Ohio R'burgers - let him know what you think.

#9 just did - since I'm in CA, I'm sure I'll go in the email shredder. I also, however sent an email to the Rep Sen Campaign committee, which raises money for all Rep Senators. ... F*&k you, George!

#10 I agree with all of the above. Voinovich, Snowe, Chafee, Hagel, Spector etc are a bunch of RINOS, and should be run out of the GOP as soon as possible/

#11 I am sure there is a more appropriate committee for the Snowe, Voinovich, etc. crowd. Perhaps a subcommittee on the lack of intelligence, their own of course.

Voinovich stiffed Lugar big time. Biden behaved worse during the FR Committee meeting than any of the allegations against Bolton.

Gutless turd indeed!

#12 I had another thought today while i was listening to the LLL Senate. Maybe (just maybe) the Republicans are letting them have as much rope they want to go hang themselves with? The more whining and crying you hear from the Donks, the less electable they seem. I reccommend that everyone read the Time interview with Babs Boxer. She really thinks she is mainstream and that for some reasons the Republicans owe her (and her party) something for beating them in the election.
