I know how you feel, toots....
I come from the land of the California Boobsey twins.
“Mr. President, On countless nominations Democrats have joined Republicans and Republicans have joined Democrats to send a judicial nomination to the floor with a powerful, bipartisan vote. Chief Justice Roberts came to the floor 13-5. Justice Breyer came to the floor unanimously. Justice Ginsburg came to the floor unanimously. Justice Breyer won on the floor 87-9. Justice Ginsburg 97-3, and Chief Justice Roberts 78-22.
“But, in this case, Judge Alito comes to the floor in a straight party line, particularly divided vote. In a divided country, at a time of heightened partisan tensions, at a time of ideology often trumping common sense or broad public interest, the President has chosen to send a Supreme Court nominee who comes directly out of a revolt by the ideological wing of his party in order to satisfy their demand for ideological orthodoxy.

Guess you got miscalled that one John Kerry! Read the LATimes Kerry.... " The Senate voted 72 to 25 to end debate on President Bush's nomination of Alito.---The filibuster effort split the Senate's 44 Democrats, 19 of whom voted to end debate"
(imitating Jack Nicholson in "The Shining") DO YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTEST IDEA OF WHAT A MORAL AND ETHICAL PRINCIPLE IS?
Teddy said the BEST part of the day was......WE STILL MADE HAPPY HOUR!
Don't feel bad. I've got Dickhead Durbin and Barack "Osama" Obama!
Ditto from me here in the Peoples Republic of Maryland with Sarbanes and Mikulski!
*Snicker*
Just to rub a bit more salt in their (democrats) wounds.
LOL
I didn't understand that. What does Alito have to do with asthma? I thought I was keeping up with this process, but apparently that old lardass gasbag knows something I don't.
Vote is supposed to start right now.
I checked in on DU later and read the threads. I almost (almost) felt sorry for them - they really think they represent mainstream America and that the filibuster would take place. They were devasatated when they realized they were going to be "betrayed" by their Democrat traitor Senators. They really think the Constitution represents overbearing government.
The funny thing is, I checked in when Kelo vs CT was decided, and they were terribly upset. They couldn't rectify how the liberals all voted to take people's land. They don't really have any idea what socialism is.
They all need a good year in Cuba.
You got to feel sorry for Democrats, they never really have been able to read "the writing on the wall"
Actually, Rush correctly pointed that more youngsters were actually dying because of Kennedy's iron-fisted support of abortion on demand, while he cared not one whit about those little ones, so it depends on which children die as to "whether lardass, gasbag", as you refer to him, chooses to care.
A move to the right puts them just left of center.
You are much more understandable than the old lardass gasbag is. Thanks for the explanation.
The move must be accelerated, just in case.
Man, that's a scary thought...
You said it!! Thank you God for the prayers of the conservative Christians. I believe they won that election for President Bush!!
