The Republicans are in the majority, aren't they?

Then why don't they act like it. A total of 14 moderate ( read squeamish ) Senators have reached a compromise that avoids a vote on the Constitutional option that would have guaranteed a yes/no vote on all of President Bush's judicial nominees. Now really, why do you think the Dems wanted this? Of course, because they know that ALL, not some, all of the Presidents nominees would be confirmed by a up/down vote as mandated by the Constitution. Now only 3 of the nominees will get a vote and others will not and the rest are in limbo. Plus the filbuster is preserved. Oh joy! What a great deal guys. I am sure you will all hear from your constituents on this one. The Dems promise ( oh goodie ) that they will not filibuster any judicial nominees except in, now get this, "extraordinary circumstances." So that means the next time a conservative is nominated. When are the going to learn.

It really is shocking how limp-wristed and stupid the Republicans are. They had them right where they wanted them and let them get away. They deserve whatever happens to them now. All they have done is emboldened the Dems.

Well, it sure sounds like she did ; In the New York Post, conservative Iranian-born columnist Amir Taheri quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying the Democrat made the demand when he visited Baghdad in July, while publicly demanding an early withdrawal. “He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview, according to Taheri. “However, as an Iraqi, I prefer to have a security agreement that regulates the activities of foreign troops, rather than keeping the matter open,” Zebari reportedly said. … Obama’s national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Taheri’s article bore “as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial.” In fact, Obama had told the Iraqis that they should not rush through a “Strategic Framework Agreement” governing the future of US forces until after President George W. Bush leaves office, she said...

What a load of crap!

Ok...for starters its called wolf control . The killing of wolves either via the air or the more traditional ways saves moose and caribou which is the intent. And also Alaskans rely on deer, moose, caribou and other wildlife for food . These dumb asses would rather have you believe that Palin is hanging out the side of the helicopter screaming in hysterical joy while she slaughters these poor defenseless wolves. And isn't that really the point anyway.
