A lot of Sourtherners have come to believe that all Dems think they have green teeth and go to KKK meetings. This is killing the Dems in elections. Their behavior during the Pickering confirmation hearings made this mindset evident and had to help Haley make it into office.

The Senate is in executive session on the Pryor nomination right now (CSPAN-2).

"Proceed to executive session to consider the nomination of William H. Pryor to be United States Circuit Judge for the Eleventh Circuit."

And this is where the FBI should be turned into a weapon. If the President doesn't get his nominees, he should have the FBI dig up dirt on Kennedy, et al and have them arrested and prosecuted. It's time for the FBI to be used for something positive and time to play true hardball with the left.

DEMS - the party of the "little guy"....unless he lives south of D.C. (Exempting, of course, Howard Dean who is the candidate of the south....sort of.....maybe....depends on who's asking...)

Yep, that's pretty much the message sent by the east and west coast liberals.

They also think that calling President Bush a "cowboy" is some sort of insult. Down here, it's a compliment.

I hope the Democrats filibuster that one too. It just shows they could care less about the South.

Howard Dean isn't doing a whole lot to change that.

Not to mention the fact we can't find a better all round, person than Charles Pickering. He loves God, America, his wife and family. He is truly a decent man and never deserved the treatment he has received from the Democrats.
If you don't lie, steal, cheat, hate America, hate children, and aren't full of the devil, the democrats have no use for you.
If IT destroys America, that's what the democrats want.
Oh, have I said I despise democrats? :)

Good article. You know you've screwed up big time when the farmers show up at the city gates with pitchforks and torches.

People for the American Way, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the NAACP, and dozens of other left-wing grievance groups jumped on Pickering's nomination with both feet, charging "racial insensitivity."

The Demorats and accomplices have to be from The System in The Turner Diaries.

"Yankee Shorthand" ....Wow! A great phrase which absolutely describes the treatment of the south by the media, power elite, academic institutions, and Hollywood.

I personally think "cowboy" is a pretty neat thing to be called, if one must call names!

Sens. Ted Kennedy (D., Mass.), Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.), and Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.)

The Four Horsesasses Of The Apocalypse.

Oh, I forgot to put the junior senator from New Yarkansas up there.

How much more dirt do you need on Kennedy? If he is still being elected after Mary Jo, why would anything matter to those idiots in Mass?

Did anyone else hear Mort Kondracke (on Brit's show) imply that anyone who supports the Conferate flag is a racist?

No Hillary. That's what you do. We don't play that way.

Howard Dean says Southerners should stop voting based on "race, guns, God and gays."

I am beginning to rethink my frustration with senate republicans and the administration over this issue. I have not been able to understand why they would let this go on without a fight. Now, it is beginning to look like the left is jumping at the chance to demonstrate it's hateful, anti-american, anti-God agenda in full, uninterrupted, view of the voters.

I say, let 'em go. Keep feeding them qualified judges to filibuster, all the way to 60 votes in the 2004 senate.

Oops! Once again, I think our great President has been "misunderstimated". Landslide in '04 !!
