WASHINGTON –RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman issued the following statement on Senator Chuck Schumer’s political attacks on Supreme Court nominee, Judge Samuel Alito.
“Earlier this year, Senator Schumer showed us that he was willing to use Hurricane Katrina to raise campaign cash. It was wrong to politicize a natural disaster and it's wrong to distort what should be a thoughtful and deliberate process to place an eminently qualified judge on the High Court. This isn’t the first time that Senator Schumer has made ominous threats about a nomination to further his political and fundraising goals. Senator Schumer needs to realize that his work on the Judiciary Committee is more important than his role as Fundraiser-in-Chief for Senate Democrats.”
well well well...
I hope the GOP finally comes out of the trenchs and face down 'rats.
And we are surprised, why, for Chuckie's usual statements of hate?
amazing - I didn't realize the GOP could attack democrats- I thought they were just there to go after conservatives.
Now if they start squaring off against the rinos, they might be on to something.
Excellent!
Shew Schumer.. go away. I just know Alito is the right pick, not only his experience and history but by all the usual rat suspects negative reaction. Go GWB!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, nothing like the smell of testosterone in the morning. :)
Well, a "red state/blue state" map clearly shows that mainstream America is not Hollywood, Northeastern Liberals, People for the American Way (a misnomer), Planned Parenthood, ACLU, or any of the other gloom and doom groups opposing a candidate who believes in the Founders' Constitution.
Out there in the "mainstream" of America, this nominee's responses in the hearings will be well received, clearly understood, and will not be seen to be dangerous to their liberty. The Republicans are now confronted with a decision. Will they stand and defend the Founders' Constitution? Or, will they allow the Radical Left to continue to redefine and erode the Constitution?
"We, the People" are not sheep to be herded by the "drivers" of the mainstream media, Hollywood, and liberal special interests, but citizens to be respected as the "only KEEPERS" of the Constitution, in the words of Justice Joseph Story in his "Commentaries on the Constitution."
Justice Story:
"§ 1907. If these Commentaries shall but inspire in the rising generation a more ardent love of their country, an unquenchable thirst for liberty, and a profound reverence for the constitution and the Union, then they will have accomplished all, that their author ought to desire. Let the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capable, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of fife, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence. The structure has been erected by architects of consummate skill and fidelity; its foundations are solid; its compartments are beautiful, as well as useful; its arrangements are full of wisdom and order; and its defences are impregnable from without. It has been reared for immortality, if the work of man may justly aspire to such a title. It may, nevertheless, perish in an hour by the folly, or corruption, or negligence of its only keepers, THE PEOPLE. Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them."
Never, ever, stand between Chuck Schumer and a TV camera. You have been warned.
WOW.....I'm pinching my cheeks after reading the above. It's music to our ears.
One order of ground Chuck, you say? Coming right up!

"'Divide and govern' is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages, and should be familiar in its use to every politician as the knife he carries in his pocket." -- by Philip Freneau, Editor, National Gazette, in a 1792 satire titled "Rules for Changing a Limited Republican Government into an Unlimited Hereditary One".
Hey, hey, hey. What have we got here? I like it. Gloves off, pick up the baseball bat and swing for the fences.
