John Edwards (aka the Breck Girl) Urges Senate to Filibuster Alito

One America PAC ^ | January 12, 2006 | FORMER Senator John Edwards

[RWR8189]

He never uses the term "filibuster" but it is implied very strongly. "Whatever means possible" obviously means a filibuster to me.

In case you are saying to yourself John Who?  He is the former senator from North Carolina, and he served as the running mate of John Kerry in 2004, and John Kerry served in Vietnam as a young man.

[Army Air Corps]

I see that Edwards is now using polysyllabic words. How long did he practice before he could say "filibuster"?

[BigSkyFreeper]

John "Pretty Boy Cookie-Cutter Former Senator" Edwards should just STHU and go chase some ambulance.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Of course it goes without saying, he's still living in that "other America" in his two America's he was always yapping about.

They simply can't help themselves, can they?

[SharpTalons]

How and where are they going to wrangle up these votes? They're going to destroy their party in this futile act of desperation.

[b4its2late]

They don't have the balls.

[Calpernia]

>>>He never uses the term "filibuster" but it is implied very strongly.

You are correct. MoveOn.org sent out newsletters to their lists about 2 weeks ago calling for an Alito filibuster.

So, I interpret it the same way you do.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I think its just amazing that the party of socialized medicine would nominate someone who destroyed the careers of so many ob/gyn docs while putting millions in his own pocket. Just unbelievable.

[Calpernia]

He didn't practice it. He 'channeled' it.

[Williams]

The first sentence alone is absurd.

[krb]

I actually want them to fillibuster Alito. They seem not to be as good at Game Theory as they usually are. It really would hurt them a lot to do it, after their failure in the committee.

[Calpernia]

>>>How and where are they going to wrangle up these votes?

Maybe that is what this was about? Could they have something to blackmail?

The trick, of course, is to find the phone numbers we want. Obviously the phone numbers for Bush, Cheney, and other top White House officials are carefully protected. But lots of the people we're interested in are outside the White House, and they are all busy people who run around with cell phones. Phone records are available from companies like these

• * Cell: http://locatecell.com/celltoll.html ($110 for 100 calls)
• * Landline: http://www.locatecell.com/lltoll.html ($125 for 100 outgoing long distance calls)

If money is scarce, Democrats.com will reimburse you if you buy the records for an important phone number and discover gold when you get the records.

Is Edwards the same Senator Edwards who made a fortune by milking the medical profession for malpractice? Why should anyone listen to Edwards? Where are his arguments against Alito? Is Edwards against Alito because he also hates anyone Republican?

As Wally Cleaver would say "The guy is creepy".

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I dare them. The American public will love that move - NOT! It's clear the DUmmies are losing this fight, and the filibuster will come off as a dumb, stupid, last-ditch, desperate measure. I hope they try it. Their poll numbers will sink even further, and they'll end up alienating even more voters.

[Nihil Obstat]

Thank God Bush/Cheney won.

[b4its2late]

Yep. Hopefully, all the Dummies are emailing thier puppets to filibuster as we type.......

He's a crooked lawyer who made millions off the backs of cerebal palsy patients.

Throwing a bone to the lunatic base that he needs in the '08 primaries.
