One good reason to vote for Torricelli
Imus in the Morning | 9/24/02 | Jonathan Alter

Posted on 09/24/2002 6:53:15 AM PDT by TC Rider

Did anyone hear Clinton buttboy, Jonathon Alter on Imus this morning? Alter continues to be a cheerleader for the Dems at Newsweek.

Imus asked Alter to give one good reason to vote for corrupt Senator Bob Torricelli.

Alter's reply was that it was important to vote for Torricelli to keep Senate control in Dem hands. He went on to say that many Republicans in DC prefer the Senate in Dassholes control rather than reverting back to Lott. He said the consensus was that 'more' got done with little Tommy in charge.

Between comments like these and Harkin's mess in Iowa it looks like the Dems are in 'win at all costs' mode.

It kills me that Dems are willing to elect outright crooks and con men, while Republicans in NC are grousing about Liddy Dole being a carpetbagger and steamrolling their favorite Conservative.

Alter's neo-liberal Message -- It's better to have a corrput and unethical democrat represent the citizens of New Jersey in the US Senate than lose political control of the body. That's pathetic.

I hope the voters in NJ wake up and smell the corrpution.

Alter will say anything to advance his agenda, repeat any lie, ANYthing.

I myself would prefer a different Repub than Lott be Senate Maj leader.

Preferably one that the Clintons don't have embarassing, closet dress wearing secret FBI documents on.

I can think of no other reason for his attitude about the impeachment vote. He was absolutely joyous that Clinton would not be removed.
Operative: "You better hope that Clinton is not voted out, or you'll see this tutu picture in the 'Times' tomorrow."

Not his agenda, the DNC agenda. It's like the DNC blast fax is linked directly to his mouth.

Alter was the genius on election night speculating a scenario on TV for Gore to overthrow the election. He's no altar boy.

Jonathan Alter is a liar. After hearing about his comments today, I would bet the ghost of Joseph Goebbels is smiling, knowing that his propaganda is being carried on by Jonathan Alter.

If the GOP wins control of the Senate, all efforts should be made to NOT allow Trent Notta-Lott back in power. Someone else needs to be elevated to Majority Leader.

Agree. Nichols is a good choice. Santorum would also be OK with me.

I can't listen to that old liberal whore Imus.

His regular guest rump-swabs include; Lieberman, Dodd, Begala, Kerry and Dan Rather.

Oh yea, McCainiac was his favorite in 2000.

The guy is something smelly that gets stuck between your sole and heel.

Me too. How does that work? Will it go back to Trent automatically? I'd much prefer a Senator with a spine, preferably someone who will rub Little Tommy's nose in it.

"I myself would prefer a different Repub than Lott be Senate Maj leader."

Me too. Spineless Trent Lott. Would that the rest of the Republicans in the Senate felt the same way. Who do you think should be the next majority leader?

He's not so much liberal as apolitical. He's staunch on the 2nd ammendment and was the first to point out how soft McCainiac was on guns.

His sidekicks, Chuck and Bernie are rockribbed conservatives and write most of the gotcha questions he springs on the lib senators.

He is a cantankerous old fart but he brings opportunities to hear the Senators and lib broadcasters with their guard down. You'll hear comments pass the lips of Brokaw, Rather, LIEberman, etc that you won't hear anywhere else.

I doubt you would have heard Alter make his comments anywhere else near a microphone.

For what it's worth, he refuses to have on Jennings or Hillary! (Of course he promised never to have Gore on and went back on that.)

We watch him on MSNBC in the morning and prefer him over GMA, Today Show, etc.

Actually, he said the only reason he can come up with to vote for Torricelli would be to keep Dash-hole as the Majority Leader. He didn't say it was important to vote for him, he was just giving the only reason anyone could poosibly pull the lever in his favor. Thus, implying that Torch has absolutely nothing to offer but an extra Dem seat in the Senate.

He went on to say that there were several Repubs that wouldn't want to see Armey as the Leader (who could blame them). I don't think he implied that they'd rather see Puff Daschle instead, though.
