LIVE THREAD: Senate Democrats fake filibuster of Samuel Alito - C-span 2 10:00am EST

C-span

[ken5050]

Good Monday morning, fellow Freeper political junkies. One of the more ridiculous episodes of political theater is about to play itself out on the Senate floor, as the John Kerry-led democrats mount an exercise in political futility which will further expose their total irrelevance..So join us today, or drop in on occasion, for the festivities...

Guess I missed some dem votes...

I think we need to pat OURSELVES on the back, folks! Bush first nominated whats-her-name instead of Alito. It was pressure from people like us who made this happen, a TRUE nail in the Democratic coffin (and they know it, too)

They are such dweebs over there. A couple of days before the election they said they would be down at du if the worst happened and Bush got reelected. They said they would be ''helping'' there fellow DU'S get through the crisis. They would need counseling physcologcally to get them through it. Looks like they'll need it today too!

Hey DUmmies

[Pukin Dog]

The bottom line for me?

I truly believe that because of this vote, one day one of us is going to meet a child who otherwise would not have been born.

Simple enough?

Oh good. Thanks. I will wonder about this for days otherwise.

In June 1967, Connecticut Sen. Thomas Dodd was censured for conduct unbecoming a senator for using his political funds for personal purposes. The U.S. Senate vote was 92-5, and he was later defeated for reelection.

Profanity doesn't cover it. They are reserving particular venom for Salazar. He is a rodent DINO without married parents who has an incestuous relationship with his mother.

Salazar is one of the Gang of 14. He campaigned on a promise not to obstruct the President's judicial nominees. So I guess he thinks he's fulfilled that oath by voting for cloture. Of course, he's said he'll vote against Alito tomorrow.

I had to edit the curse word

Take a look at my post 3269. It took a great deal of cleaning up.

[BigSkyFreeper]

CBS NEWS reporting the vote is "too close to call" ;o)

It should also be worthy of note, that CBS still hasn't called Ohio for Bush.

[Boston Blackie]

Has that picture been touched up?

All I know is that its pointing up.

[LisaFab]

I think it was a conflict of interest.

[Snoopers-868th]

Has Lenin, errr I mean Levin voted his No yet? I missed the call.

[TheBigB]

It's time to take it to the streets and overthrow this whole corrupt government! WITH WHAT?!

Obviously, nasty letters to the NY Times. ;o)

[Cyber Liberty]

One of whom is on his way in from the hospital.

[small voice in the wilderness]

*Take it to the streets* my a**- Don't these idiots know they have NO GUNS?!

[andy58-in-nh]

I have seen nothing on any of the news networks (including FOX).

Really?

[Arizona Carolyn]

Exactly and the reason McCain will not win the GOP primary in '08.
