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...

[Salvation]

**Translation: Kerry was against the filibuster before he was for it.**

[areafiftyone]

Oh jeeze I'm just sooo excited Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

[Mo1]

I've often wondered..how is the name of thatt website ( Daily Kos ) pronounced?..

I think it's pronouced like Cos .... as like in Cos-by

[BigSkyFreeper]

No, it's Kos, pronounced like "cause" as in "cause and effect". Kos is the first three letters of the last name of the site owner.

[popdonnelly]

That depends on which nose counter you believe. Seems like they're about 5 votes short.

[trubluolyguy]

The dems should realize they are making fools of themselves and a mockery of the process and STFU. Then again if they followed my advice they might, MIGHT win some seats in '06. That is never going to happen.

[ken5050]

I like chaos....it fits..

[Dad yer funny]

yup , however , it'll be quite dicey for them to beat-up Janice

[maggief]

Doesn't Kennedy have a lunch date a Hooters at 12:30?

[COBOL2Java]

He's gearing up for it! His butler manservant is whipping up a nice peanut butter & jelly sandwich (no crust!) for him right now.

I dunno, I think the manservant is for Mama T. If Kerry's luck he sometimes gets use of the pool boy.

[sauropod]

Last three letters of his first name.

I'd personally replace them with "ass" because that's what he is.

[small voice in the wilderness]

I like Sen. Grassley. I really do. But we need a real kicka** speaker up there right now. I wish Ted Nugent would run for Senate.

[popdonnelly]

"Bill Kristol reporting that Kerry's own staff and senior democrats advised against filibuster but Kerry felt the need to out left Gore."

Friends, this man was almost President.

What the Rats are doing has nothing to do with Alito, it has everything to do with the next vacancy.

Bingo. Since the next nominee will be a minority who will be filibustered, the Dems can't be seen going after this person after having given 2 white guys a pass.

I dunno, I think the manservant is for Mama T. If Kerry's luck he sometimes gets use of the pool boy.

If Kerry's lucky, Mama T. hasn't changed the locks on their house.

[AliVeritas]

Amen to that.

Thanks Pop.

It's a shame how far the Democratic Party has fallen. My father was a proud member of it. He is still a member of it, but is no longer active. The National Party is such a joke.
They continue to pick the absolute WORST self aggrandizing people as their spokesperson and it keeps coming back to bite them in the ass.
He hasn't been satisfied with any President since Reagan, and he was a Republican!
