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...

[mware]

Mendenez voted in place of Daddy Warbucks.

I hope that he pays for this in November.

Aren't his 5 minutes up yet? Now explaining his vote tomorrow. Still disturbed. Still something else. I forget.

Garrett asked Reid who the leader of the Democratic Party is right now and Reid said "Hmmm.. well... that's uh not for me to say....uh..."

So Garrett followed up with a slightly more pointed query: "Who is the leader of the Democrats on DOMESTIC issues?" And Reid said "That's an unfair question to ask"

These guys are totally BRAIN DEAD !!!! The moonbats are howling, the filibuster went over like a lead balloon, and no one on the left can figure out who is their leader !!!!

As Will Rodgers said a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away: "I'm not a member of any organized political party. I'm a Democrat."

Nope, I am a charter member of the "Save the Waitresses Association" and it simply wouldn't be safe. He and The Swimmer will have to do without...

Glad to be here, MOgirl

[Arizona Carolyn]

Didn't someone say they thought the Republican candidate was polling well against him and this could be a short tenure? (of course, polls don't take into account the Corzine factor).

[mass55th]

Ahhh, thanks for the clarification.

[Cboldt]

Cantwell decided to state her opposition, eh?

     Aye = 57                   Nay = 38
     1 GOP yet to commit:       4 DEM yet to commit:
   
     Snowe                      Bayh            Landrieu
                                Dorgan          Rockefeller  
   
     DEM Crossover = 4          GOP Crossover = 1
     
     Nelson  (NE)               Chaffee   (RI)
     Johnson (SD)
     Byrd    (WV)
     Conrad  (ND)

They had a chance to lose gracefully. With some self-respect and honor. But they HAD to take that phone call from Kerry.

So, the DUmpsters are expressing tremendous fury right now at the Dems who voted Yes on cloture, and are saying that they will put up better primary opponents for them. I wonder how many of them are up or election in '06, and if the Dems are going to oppose them, maybe we will have a better chance of picking up that seat?

[acsrp38]

Love IT!! LMAO

[Cboldt]

How can Corzine vote? Wasn't he sworn in as Governor of NJ?

That summary is a list of NAY votes to Alito Cloture, and NAY votes to Roberts confirmation (there was no cloture vote for Roberts).

Mostly overlap - mostly the same moonbats opposed, no matter what. As in "unreasonable."

[Howlin]

Insane? Hypocritical?
