There's an ad campaign starting against Senator Voinovich for delaying the Bolton nomination.
That was quick.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

re: that ad Gud mentioned:
Our condolences to new Democrat George Voinovich (R - OH). Just hours after the Ohio senator asked the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to "take a little bit more time" before voting on John Bolton, Move America Forward had an attack ad ready to go. "WIFE: Did you hear how disloyal Senator Voinovich was to Republicans and President Bush? Voinovich stood with the Democrats and refused to vote for John Bolton, the man President Bush has chosen to fight for the United States at the UN...he missed most of the Bolton confirmation hearings, but then shows up at the last minute and stabs the President and Republicans right in the back...Shame on Senator Voinovich." HUBBY: "It seems like Senator Voinovich has become a traitor to the Republican Party." Want to help Move America Forward remind Republican legislators they're all George's bitches now? Then send them a few bucks. — GREG BEATO

I almost thought the ad itself was a parody. All this "loyalty to Party and President" crap gives me the creeps. I find it, dare I say, un-American.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Well, anyhow, Gud's link does provide us all with the necessary email addresses and phone numbers to use in order to let Voinovich know that some people are actually happy about what he's done.

I remember when I was about 3 or 4 being confused by my parents' enema bag.
Pity my best friend, who once went searching for a straw in our house and ended up finding the tubing for my grandmother's enema kit. He thought I was joking about it til the horrified look on my face convinced him.

Yeah, it's just so weird. I mean, I never, ever think in terms of loyalty to politicians. If anything, the shoe is on the other foot--they're the ones who are supposed to be loyal to the people who voted them there and the Constitution that holds the whole thing together.

Indeed. I see GW Bush as an employee that, sadly, the rest of the management didn't chose to fire at his last review.
And I am not pleased with his performance. At. All.
