I think it is fair to say that without the liberal blogosphere, there wouldn't have even been a fight.

LOL!!! They are so delusional! So, because of no "liberal blogosphere" Judge Bork got through? Please keep up the liberal blogosphere!!!

If Kean doesn't make it an issue, he is an idiot.

too much laughter.... They actually believe the drivel that PFAW, Move-On, NARAL, Kerry and Kennedy spew.
I don't feel sorry for the posters,I feel sorry for their kids.

A totally different type of rear admiral.
And both are distinct from the type of "rear admirals" you can find in San Francisco.

Let the, what, 600th suicide watch begin for MrsGrumpy? Please, please, move to Canada with your daughter, MrsGrumpy.

These morons mistake Socialism for Democracy!

"Today is just a crushing, devastating, blow to the Democrats and American Left..."

A person could ask why they did it to themselves. This vote could have been easily avoided.

"Wouldn't they then be the other majority party?"

Personally, I think you could squeeze all the proclaimed hard core socialists, et al, into a VW or telephone booth. The last thing they want to do is take center stage in American politics. They are not only content in the shadows, but their Gramsciish/Fabian tactics have been extremely successful. Their host body (mostly the dem party) are the ones getting sliced and diced on the front lines -- while their agenda rolls on unimpeded -- slowly but surely.

But then, that's how I see it.

No, DU doesn't have a majority. Du is a little forum with mostly freepers acting as trolls. DU isn't worthy of the energy, or FR resources. And until that is realized, you'll just be spinning your wheels. Focus your energy on more productive endeavors, such as freeps or getting involved in your local political groups. Get away from your computer and actually do something other than talk on a web site.

Here are the latest from the KosKidz:

"Bush is to Blame! (4.00 / 5)

Mad as you are, remember. Those Democrats didn't nominate Alito, Bush did. Those Democrats didn't coach Alito on how to dissemble his way through congress. It isn't those Democrats pushing for Unlimited Executive Power.

Remember, in the end, this is Bush's fault. We must stop turning our fire on ourselves every time we loose. (As a matter of fact, I'm mostly mad at Obama for using this as a reason to publicly flay Democratic failings, instead of highlighting Bush's.)

you're right up to a point. (none / 0)

you left off where 17 of our own decided to roll over and show their collective belly and say "please, don't hurt us anymore! we'll do whatever you ask, just stop being mean to us!" unfortunately one of my own senators was among that spineless group (nelson of fl).

you are correct when you say this is bush's fault, but you left out the part where he had some not insignificant help from so-called dems. all i ask of my representatives in washington is that they fight like a mother cat defending her kittens for our beliefs. if they can't live up to that standard then primary them and run someone who will.

Putting a yellow ribbon on your car is literally the least you can do. Put your money where your mouth is and enlist or shut up.

Gotta luv it! They closed the forum access to lurkers earlier, I guess waiting for the thorozine to kick in.

I can't believe how they are going off. They have titles like:

TAKE ACTION!!! Take the pledge: $25 for the 25! (who voted NO on cloture)

I no longer am affiliated with the Democratic Party

I'm calling for political CIVIL WAR in the Democratic Party...

AND on and on. I imagine they will come back to the party eventually, but I hope they don't. If this is any indication of the state of even the left wing of the Democratic Party, they are in serious trouble.
