Every time someone repeats that I nearly loose a keyboard what with my computer problems earlier I can do without that as well, better move my cup of tea away from the screen and keyboard LOL
I just pinged you to a very early live thread.
I'll have to decide what to do about tonight; if I stay up I'll have to skip tomorrow's picnic as I'll be worthless :-)
True but like the left we can pretend to forget that fact we must learn to counter them at their own game.
Figures lie and liars figure.
I think it's the best one ever at the end of SR.
Unfortunately true there is no way that Tony Blair or more correctly the labour party would have been elected 3 times without this fact.
I like Nelson too, primarily because he has strength of character. However, if you see how they vote, Hagel votes much more conservatively than Nelson. He shoots his mouth off for the cameras to slam Bush, but then votes most of the time with Repubs. He's a louse, and I'll support whoever runs against him in the primary.
Let's compile a list of the Rat talking points on SCOTUS:
1) Must be a "consensus candidate".
2) Bush won by smallest margin of any president.
3) The court must reflect American social philosophy....ignore the REAL constitutional definition of the court's role.
4) Bush is obligated to "bring us together".
5) Look for stare decisis (sp?) to be a major talking point. Dems will argue that decided law can't be changed.
(I'm not even going to list the "women will die" rhetoric.)
All of the above are sooooo easily shot down. I sure hope Boyden Gray et al are taking notes and preparing to do just that.
Please add to the list as you detect new items in the Dem's spin machine.
Graham and McConnell are hoping for a dignified process over the SC nomination and that the Senate will not embarras itself by engaging in a food fight. Feinstein wants a justice who speaks for the bulk of the American people. Why are we getting so far away from the actual purpose of the SC, which is not supposed to be political. We just need intelligent people who can read and who believe in the Constitution of the United States and that is is the supreme law of the land and not what a few in black robes think it should be.
There must be room amongst that lost for Bush lied.
Plessy v. Ferguson.
That is all we need to say!
This is exactly what we are looking for. McConnell says he doesn't think a filibuster can be sustained. He is not given to loose talk. Graham says that the gang of 14 did not think they were agreeing that any SC nominee would be an extraordinary circumstance. Graham wants to go back to the old days of comity when the Senate gave the President's nominee deference. He can pretty much forget that.
Masochistic tendencies" one explanation.
From my standpoint, it's a "know your enemy all the time thing", for me.
Well ... No MTP here in Philly today and not sure about Stephies show yet
Specter is still borking Bork today--when he can get a word in edgewise with diarrhea mouth Kennedy.
Isn't it? Amazing. It speaks to the deference given to the President as part of his spoils. Democrat hypocrisy today is breathtaking, only possible with complicity from OldMedia.
Dems are headed for extinction and irrelavance...their stop-at-nothing tactics prove it, imho.
