The MSM is soooooooooo afraid of the truth.

[Mo1]

You'll all be surprised to know that CNN cut from Sessions to an interview with Leaky Leahy

Are we surprised??

Sessions states facts .. they don't want the public to know the facts

[YaYa123]

I do love Senator Sessions!!! He said he agreed with Senator Biden that Alito had been very open and responsive. Sessions did exactly what I hoped a republican would do....Use Biden's compliment about Alito's openness to make mincemeat of what I knew the democrats would do.....accuse Alito of not being responsive.

LOL! During the lunch break both Kennedy and the ACLU accused Alito of not fully answering the questions. And they did it bare minutes after Biden thanked Alito for his responsiveness. Ya think maybe that will teach Biden a lesson? Naaaa

Why does it seem longer already?

Because we stick to the same hearings for an extended period of time, unlike most days where we get to jump from one subject to another for variety.

This'll pass. Tomorrow will be the one that will seem longest, to me. It will become very repetitive, in light of today. I also don't see any new issues emerging via the media overnight, that would make tomorrow more exciting and uncertain.

Surely, you wouldn't NOT want to do business with a pretty woman if she was also qualified in the other ways for the job, would you?

No, of course I wouldn't use looks as a disqualifier. I don't want to junk up this thread but I think, knowing your posts on FR, that we would be in agreement if I went into the background that led to my post.

SL the witch is the Dummie's screename!

[Pukin Dog]

It would appear that CNN is less worried about overtaking Fox News, than they are about holding what few liberals they still have as viewers. I guess it is a sound strategy. They are not going to take Conservatives from Fox, so it makes sense that they would more overtly pander to the left

A TRUE HELP MATE...GIVING HIM HER INSIGHTFUL INPUTS...

[Palladin]

Sanger and crew wanted to sterilize all "morons, idiots, and other mentally deficient persons". Too bad they didn't catch the ancestors of Leahy, Kennedy, Feinstein and Biden in their web of deceit and hatefulness.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

Well, that's refreshing to hear. It just made me nauseous when I read about all that stuff and how so many people are being fooled into this crazy line of thinking.
BTW...What does your screen name refer to?

[Cboldt]

So she votes how they want, why do they call her the Witch?

I think "The Witch" at DU picked her own handle, like I picked "Cboldt" and you picked "saveliberty." ;-)

[Huck]

I appreciate the pragmatism behind it. I just think it demonstrates a weakness. It's smart to play the hand this way, I trust. It's a case of losing a battle but winning the war, I guess.

[ken5050]

He pitched a shutout against DiFI..she kind of gave up about halfway through.....

[saveliberty]

They probably don't know.

[Pukin Dog]

But you must admit, there is no better handle than mine.

[saveliberty]

LOL! I was just thinking that it was all the hot air making us sleepy!

[Palladin]

Sanger's racism extended mainly to the Jewish immigrants who populated the lower east side of Manhattan in those days. Those were MY ancestors, and included many brilliant people in all fields, such as George Gershwin.

[isthisnickcool]

Of course not.

So? he head protected sex with a dress?

(he he he)

[saveliberty]

Bwhahahahahaha!

A super duper blonde precedent! LOL LOL LOL!

[Cboldt]

But you must admit, there is no better handle than mine.

It is certainly memorable!
