Meanwhile, Obama is displaying the characteristics of why I think he'll eventually be seriously dangerous: he's a pragmatist -- he knows which battles to fight as a Democrat. Since there's 20% of the public in the middle that doesn't care enough to inform themselves about politics, that's the kind of approach from the Left that will win major elections.
The filibuster talk is just so they can tell the MoveOn.org moonbats "we tried" and keep them sending their donations.
It is funny cause this whole thing wasn't really about a filibuster or stopping Alito in the first place. IMHO! It was hatched by Lurch when he figured it would be harmless to everyone concerned cause the votes are not there. When someone pointed out to him hes like 5th or 6th down the list under Al Shartons name to get the nomination for pres in 2008 he quickly figured out this would get him a lot of cheap publicity in a hurry, keep his name ''relevant'' and make him the darling of the loony left for a while.What Lurch hasn't figured out is what RATS ''HATE'' more than any Republicans,are Democrats who run for office and fail. Now he is getting the loony lefts hope up again, and setting them up for a major fall.Does anybody here think the RATS are going to give him another chance for the presidency after this debacle?!.......Neither do I. Someone should tell Lurch and put him out of his misery!Quick!
"Am I the only who thinks it funny they want to filibuster and there has barely been a Democrat on the Senate floor this week during the time allotted to discuss and debate this nomination?"
Sen. Sessions is at the head of the line.
You may join us. ;o)
