I'm having trouble deciding whether Boxer or Murray is the DUMBEST female senator.

Murray hands down

Boxer is playing up to their base and she knows it

Did the Dems write one speech and then modify it slightly for each speaker?

The dems should just for once be honest and admit that they hate the President and they hate the American right.

That's what's really causing all of their gnashing and wailing.

It's not so much about judges as it is about their opposition to us and our President.

Speaking from the state that just re-elected Patty, I vote Murray

Well, I defer to you, but isn't Cantwell stupider?

Washington state definitely takes the combo stupid Senators title, though.

They've been using this same speech for the last five years.

As somebody said, they've told so many lies about so many nominees, they've raised the bar so high that when Scalia comes up for chief justice, they're going to have to say he murdered somebody.

That's why I'm suspicious. He scuttles around the halls of Congress like Iago, whispering "insider" stuff to dim-bulb senators and congressmen. I know that is what he did to get Jeffords to jump ship. He was the ONLY one who had the scoop on that story, and since no Rat would talk to him, I think he pushed Jeffords by telling him the dairy subsidy was going to be ditched (which it wasn't). He was entirely too gleeful reporting his scoop to Brit Hume.

Why does that chart remind me of a 1-800 phone commercial ?

No, Ralph Neas (People for the (un)American Way) wrote it and they are just passing it around. BABS Streisand could have written a couple of sentences too.

Also - send them a note, postcard, letter anything in writing. Sending an email is one thing, but when the letters start piling up they know this person will talk to family, friends, coworkers etc., they pay attention.

Would also suggest that a mini petition drive be started. Write up something expressing your views to your local congress critter and then have friends, family and neighbors sign on with their address, signature and printed name.

Patty Murray is an absolute simpleton and is a good representative of what has gone horribly wrong with the democrat party.

I called Lugar's office, but all I got was the answering machine. I left a message and told him I hoped he wasn't in on that compromise, because I was going to do everything I could to see primary challengers win against any who were.

Good for you. I've got to get cracking w/letters. Someone said aides counted them as to pro or con piles.
