I got the same reply.
Do you think they are committing mass suicide over there?

She's an idiot who just keeps droning on. To sum up: Bush, evil, Alito, evil, check, culture, corruption, rights, executive power, extreme, out of mainstream.
She wishes the press had focussed on the tears of the worker/woman/girl strip searched/mentally retarded male assaulted in workplace/etc. instead of Mrs. Alito's tears (which of course don't matter). Hits podium, half whispering, throws hands up, going for an Oscar.

Too often, senators should be held to term limits. 8 terms in the senate is just not what this country was founded upon.

Praise God, it wasn't even close.
These Dimwits just put targets on their chests.

DU hopes to impeach Bush & remove his Judicial appointments?
Their delusions are becoming quite serious.
Sound like they have completely lost touch with reality!

I wouldnt' miss it for the world! She is so incredibly stupid and out of the mainstream that she helps the Republicans more than they help themselves. They must not know what they do! ROFL! It was hilarious, btw. Alito is not "mainstream". Like she is???

P.S. Too often, Americans take our rights for granted -- and that's never been more dangerous. Remind yourself of what's at stake and then make your case to others. End of Teds Email Teddy counts thusly "1, er, um 4, maybe 5, definitely 8, 11 ..."

Unfortunately they have thrown in the towel. But I guess they think Kennedy has shown his ass enough. Sorry for that horrible mental image.

Ugnmoose (1000+ posts) Mon Jan-30-06 02:55 PM Original message Dems cut a deal? Alito for Bush This whole Alito vote stinks to high heaven. It makes absolutely no sense why the Dems rolled over. The only thing I can think of is that a back room deal was cut. The Dems give em Alito and the Repukes vote for a Bush Impeachment. Before you start screaming - no way, think about it. Hearings are about to start on the NSA Illegal wiretapping. Everyone knows they have "His Majesty" stone cold guilty of violating the FISA Act and Article 4 of the Constitution. Hell he even proudly admits to it. The Repukes will be hard pressed to explain this one away. So they cut a deal with the Dems to get Alito on the Court. They save face with the hard core evangelical rght wingers and get to cut and run in time to save their own necks for the mid-term elections.
