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...

Yup .. probably wants the oneupsmanship .. Gore's been on the tube a bit this week at Sundance, promoting his new doom/gloom environmental movie and book, and mingling with his Hollyweird fairy godmothers.

When is Senator Kerry(D-Davos) schedule to speak? He's gearing up for it! His butler is whipping up a nice peanut butter & jelly sandwich (no crust!) for him right now.

You know, Alito is probably not like me, but if he was - PAY BACK WOULD BE A BITCH!

Has anyone heard how Kent Conrad will vote?Considering a major ad blitz over the weekend in the state of North Dakota, Conrad will probably vote for Alito.

The dims are absolutely making fools of themselves. I hope the RNC and the NRSC use this fillibuster tactic to the utmost in the election process.
(The dims just can't distinguish when to play political and when to hold you head high and keep your mouth shut, can they?????)

The poll at
capitalnews.org needs some freeping...
Will a filibuster of the Alito nomination help or hurt the Democrats?
