The impending Alito nomination has driven the DUmmies into a greater crazed frenzy than that of Rambo Cat above. It is starting to dawn on them that the filibuster, if ever tried, will FAIL. Despite the too little, too late support of such a filibuster by Jean Kerry from the ski slopes of Switzerland, the votes for filibuster are just NOT there. Plus we now have word that Sheets Byrd SUPPORTS the nomination of Alito. Game over for the DUmmies thus their INTENSE anger as you can see in this THREAD titled, with SUPREME understatement, "I am very, very disappointed..." So let us now join Rambo Cat and plunge the depths of DUmmie Despair in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, reminding everyone that Jean Kerry never EVER falls down on the ski slopes, is in the [brackets]:
I am very, very disappointed...
[I am very, very HAAAAAAPPPIIEEEEEE!!!!! YIPPPPIIIIEEEEE!!!]
In the way the Democrats handled this Alito nomination. They have known for several weeks that the vote was coming up to either approve or to filibuster his nomination. There was absolutely no reason to get to this point and not know where your own members stood on their vote. Yes, they were on Christmas and New Year's vacation, but that is no reason not to have contact with all the members.
[But...but don't you feel HAPPY with the utterly MEANINGLESS support for a filibuster by John Kerry from the Swiss ski slopes?]
They should never have raised any expectations of a filibuster unless they knew there was a credible vote count that would permit such a maneuver. To get up to the last minute before the vote and then realize we don't have the votes is a failure of leadership, in my opinion. They would have been better off to simply say from the beginning that it appears Mr. Alito will be voted thru on a slim vote. I am very disappointed in the way this process was handled.
[Actually I ENJOY watching DUmmie expectation levels raised only to be DASHED at the last minute.]
disappointed???? my but that is mild language. They are traitorous bastards for not standing up for the Democrats and this country against the creeping fascism that is bushco**. They are worthless.
I agree with you completely.. I've been calling, writing, and donating.. I've literally put my ass on the line.. Why aren't they? I can't keep fighting for people that won't fight for me..
[John Kerry has your back...from the Swiss ski slopes.]
..There are a couple that are fighting, but that's it.. A couple isn't enough...
[John K and Mama T have your back.]
Your ass is on the line??? Seriously? So your job is on the line is what your saying? Or are you just saying you've donated some time and money? I wouldn't describe that as your ass on the line...a little heavy on the drama, brother.
[John Kerry's frozen ass is on the ski jump line.]
I donated all of my time, money and energy to the kerry campaign and the democratic party in 2004. I did all of that while suffering excruciating pain from a herniated disc. I literally suffered physically for our cause. I also joined several peace groups including the Quaker's Friends committee. Shortly after that I had a big old dark SUV parked on my street for a week. I thought I was paranoid at the time now I know better. And I suffered and gave my time for f*cking what exactly? For the democrats to F O L D at the most crucial moment in our nations history???
[John Kerry is just $10 away from a successful filibuster.]
If we acted more like we were insane, they'd give a shit, but we are Rational, so they don't give a shit.
[Actually the first part of your sentence is the ONLY correct part.]
I'll remember this sell out, in fact I am sure we'll be reminded of it every time the SCOTUS shoves another abominable ruling up our collective rear ends. Believe me, Walt, you have no corner on the outrage market.
If the left now decided to stay home in droves and allowed teh Republicans to utterly defeat the Democrats, or better yet, showed up in droves but cast no vote whatsoever for either a Democrat or a Republican, we'd have their attention.
[Just Do It!]
We have 44 Democrats and 1 Independent that vote with us sometimes. When we reach a certain number of Democrats that say they will vote to close debate, there is no filibuster. The filibuster is over. If you don't get 41 votes, the filibuster is over. I guess we can hold out hope to get some help from a few Republicans?? I'm not holding my breath. Maybe they will twist a couple of arms and get them to change their vote. We shall see. I am the realist. Let's see where Byrd goes??
[Your post was made at 2:39 PM EST today so I guess you hadn't gotten the news yet that Sheets Byrd is going to vote FOR Alito.]
I have been depressed and in tears a good part of the time for the last two weeks. This is the most important vote in my (considerable) lifetime, and I am terrified of the consequences.
[The consequence is detention centers for all DUmmies at all Walmart construction sites.]
Exactly why our leadership should have had the votes in line... to filibuster this choice. But, we are now down to the last minute and they are behind closed doors trying to reason with a few Democrats. I am more than disappointed.
[John Kerry will be very disappointed to leave the Swiss ski slopes to support a meaningless filibuster attempt.]
Perhaps if this fails we need a new Senate Minority leader. Perhaps someone like Barbara Boxer!
[That's just the ticket...to flush the Democrats down the toilet.]
We're talking now about senators being on record of what THEY THEMSELVES wanted to do, not hiding behind a wimp group of senators that are trying to say "you don't have any other choice" to us!
Pure and simple, the DLC is responsible for the split in the Dems that has destroyed any hope it had of being an opposition party. And that is what the mission of the DLC is. They DON'T WANT a viable opposition party to the Republicans who are the party that is implementing their corporate masters' will! The DLC is there to keep the Dems in check and keep them from fighting the corporate juggernaut! That's why NOW is the time to stop the DLC! Once we can clean house of them, then we can in a more unified fashion fight against the GOP!
[What? No credit given to Karl Rove for splitting up the Dems? You ingrate!]
I swear, sometimes I wish I was a member of the brain dead morons who can't name a justice on the court. Maybe I'll start watching sitcoms and soap operas instead of CSpan.
[Your wish is granted, my brain dead little DUmmie.]
THE QUESTION STILL REMAINS...WHAT DID THE DEMOCRATS GET OUT OF THE GANG OF 14 DEAL??? NOTHING!!!!!!!! THE REPUKES GOT THEIR RW WACKO NUT JOB JUDGES CONFIRMED AND WE GOT NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate this f*cking party. IF THIS ISN'T AN "EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE" WHAT THE HELL IS???? I knew this would happen. I KNEW they would still get their f*cking SCOTUS judges confirmed. I KNEW IT. As usual, we Progressives have been told to F*CK OFF by the Dem party.
Oh here I go-yes the gang of fourteen agreement I will never forget Will Pitt claiming "we saved Roe. V. Wade" with this. NO! I knew it was a bad idea. Wrong wrong wrong. You don't compromise, back down and give up to bullies and thugs. IT never works. And what would have impressed us loyal Dems and some undecided or apathetic voters-is that if they went nuclear and destroyed the fillibuster option-we could have protrayed that as un-American and all the rest. We could have been outraged and demanding and never let them forget it. Instead we are cowards are reap the rewards. The only answer is obvioulsy a civil war in the Dem party. This shit is over. They don't represent me
[Uh-oh. DUmmie discontent with the infallible Pied Piper Pitt.]
It's getting down to the nitty-gritty... Specter wants to have a vote. But, Democrats say they have more speakers. Seems the Dems are killing time to see what they can get together. But, it appears the inevitable is about to happen, imo... Unless something very dramatic happens?
[Like Mama T's Boy Toy leaving the Swiss ski slopes?]
Some brave people have pointed out the possibility of a filibuster is still there. So long as have a shot, we have to keep the pressure on. It's war.
Nothing the DUfuses can say can be any more stupid than John Kerry announcing his plan to filibuster, while in Switzerland. Can the man be any more politically tone-deaf?
Yesterday, I was watching part of a replay of "Washington Journal" on C-SPAN. During the call-in period, a woman called in about the NSA "spying" issue, saying that she had seen a man standing outside of a bank, crying. When she asked him what was wrong, the man (allegedly) said that he had been in the bank and had signed some blank forms, and now the bank had stripped him of everything that he owned because of his signature on those forms. So this woman, (allegedly) remembering that she had also signed some blank forms at the same bank, stormed into the bank and demanded to know if they had taken everything she owned, too. She went on to say that "they" [NSA] had been listening to her on the phone and "they" [NSA] knew when she was going to go to the bank. It was a setup!
Now, I don't know for a fact that this woman was a DUmmie, but she sure fits the profile!
DUmmie paranoia knows no bounds!
By the way, who's stupid enough to sign forms that are not completed? And that's assuming that she was telling the truth in the first place, which is a stretch.
Welcome aboard, PINGEE #787.
45!! Whoo!!
Darn! I've been looking for that image of Captain Hyperbole and I can't find it! Any idea where I can find it?
Now this is desperate

Alito Withdraw Your Nomination.
LMAO ATSA (at those silly asses)
Welcome to the Apocalito
LOL! They are so DESPERATE now that they have to resort to BEGGING Alito to withdraw. Yeah, like Alito is stupid enough to bow to DUmmie fantasies.
[Like Mama T's Boy Toy leaving the Swiss ski slopes?]
Ugh! Somehow, I can't see the two of them...well..."doing the nasty". ARRRRGH! Must...get...image...out...of...head!
If I were Alito I would reply that I WOULD withdraw but only if a hundred DUmmies ran stark naked a mile during morning Rush Hour on the center strip of 1-95. Of course not all of them would finish that task and, as Alito, I would withdraw my withdrawal due to the fact that they did not completely abide by my request.
Would you post some highlights? I fear that if I head over there that their crazy is contagious. You, however, seem to have a built-in immunity.
That's what Johnny Boy tells himself every night.
"Rambo" actually is a Swedish name--and I happen to be a direct descendant of the original "Rambo"!
There was a young man in Sweden in the 1600s by the name of Peter Gunnarsson. He lived in the Ramberg ("Raven's Mountain") section of Gothenburg. In 1639 he sailed on the second voyage from Sweden to America and was one of the founders of the New Sweden colony along the Delaware River.
When he came to the New World, Peter Gunnarsson decided to take a new name. So he took the "Ram-" part of Ramberg and added "-bo," to make "Rambo" ("Raven's Home" or "Raven's Nest").
So Peter Gunnarsson Rambo (1612-98) was the original Rambo, and my grandmother, Grace Rambo Clark (1883-1966), was one of his descendants.
OK, now I'll get on with DUFUing. :-)
Unreal. They put Alito through all that crap, and now they want him to just walk away when he's on the verge of being confirmed??? Dream on!
Okay, let me see if I understand this. There were probably thousands (at least hundreds) of volunteers for John Kerry during the election. Probably quite a few were very influential power brokers. Some had most likely run a campaign or two in the past. BUT, instead of going after someone who actually MATTERED the VRWC picked this absolute zero with a herniated disc to spy on. Yeah, it could happen! On second thougt, doesn't John Kerry have a dark colored SUV?
Cindie
Alito should WITHDRAW his nomination Isn't that what uberScary Bill Kristol said about Harriet Miers? He didn't even tell us why. Poor Harriet didn't get to go through senate hearings. I don't think I've ever heard her voice. Alito is causing too many problems! His nomination is holding up our important business. Illegal wiretapping investigation Senate intel 2nd report from Roberts Murtha's troop redeployment resolution Katrina relief Medicare Rx crisis etc, etc, etc.... And where are those damned Abu photos? Alito - for the good of the country, withdraw your nomination!
If Mrs. Alito is watching the speeches, she must be bawling. I hope she isn't freaked out by the truth and the implications of what she hears - that her husband would pull the Constitution right out from under her feet if they get him in there. Mrs. Alito - your husband is not the subdued, charismatic adult he pretends to be - he is a sicko when it comes to humanity.
yeah Edited on Fri Jan-27-06 12:29 AM by leftofthedial and king george should resign and turn himself in to the FBI. and Rummie should do the honorable thing and take up a .38 with one bullet and a cyanide tablet back, just in case. and unka dick should put himself on trial in Baghdad for war crimes.
That would be ApocAlito!
Oh, its happening. This thread hit about the same time as Sheets announcing he will vote to confirm. Go peruse DU. They are in meltdown.
