As long as we have creative people like RedbloodedAmerican, there will always be hope.

Sen. Ted Kennedy called President Bush's judicial nominees "Neanderthals" on Friday, a group that includes Hispanic lawyer Miguel Estrada and African-American Judge Janice Rogers Brown.Boasting of his party's resolve in the face of GOP attempts to stop their filibuster, Kennedy told the Senate, "What has not ended is the resolution and the determination of the members of the United States Senate to continue to resist any Neanderthal that is nominated by this president of the United States for any court, federal court in the United States."
Kennedy's overtly racist language stunned even liberal CNN correspondent Jonathan Karl, who reported, "Strong words from Ted Kennedy suggesting that some of these nominees are Neanderthals."
Karl said Kennedy's harsh tone was "exactly what Republicans point to when they say it is the Democrats that have been the extremists on this."
True.
Very bad people.
Very true.
I hope the reporter from CNN has an epiphany and begins to question the actions and motives of the democrats in our house and senate.
"Epiphany" is a religious experience. As a recent Pew poll shows Rats have no religious experiences!
Shoulda known! (But then...God works in mysterious ways! :^)
As long as we have creative people like RedbloodedAmerican, there will always be hope.
The long distance swimmer should have been tossed onto the trash heap of history for his cowardice and deliberate snuffing out of Mary Jo's life.
Instead he pontificates,blusters and, in the eyes of normal human beings, makes an ass of himself.
The flabby fool's response was so ridiculously funny because the only thing that he uttered was a string of "errr, uh errr, uh errr, uh, well, uh, errr....."
The Wall Street Journal reprinted the question and his meaningless babble on the editorial page.
The poor Taxachusetts saps that continue to elect this slob need to take an IQ test.
Keep up the good work, I can't figure out why this socialist is still in the Senate of the United States.
Very unkind, hurtful and uncalled for rhetoric so typical of the dem party since the advent of the clinton duo.
It's just that hillary, from the well of the senate, calling these truly good Americans who have been honored with a Presidential nomination to specific benches LEMONS, hurts all of us. But it is especially harmful and hateful towards the nominees. What kind of cruelty is this woman capable of...does she have personal MONITORING device at all? She is craven.
And kennedy, stating that our President would nominate NEANDERTHALS is a two hitter bit of hate, a hit at President Bush and a very hurtful jab at the nominees.
What are these people hoping to do....discourage and so defame these hard working, illustrious judicial nominees so that they withdraw their names like Miguel Estrada did?
Are they sending a warning note to all other judges who deserve nominations to NOT ACCEPT them because they will be villified in front of our entire nation by dem senators?
This is the stuff of a horror-the kind of thing that can bring down the judiciary and destroy our right to have truly good people sitting in judgement.
I dispise what the dems are doing...just thinking of the arrogant and haughty way mary landreiu, speaking from the well of the senate, stated to one Judge 'You are never going to sit on that bench, honey', sent chills of disgust and revulsion through me.
These dems, daily, remind me why I loathe the democrat party. Zell Miller is right-the dem party has been hijacked by very bad people.

I'd like to say to Teddy, "I've known several real rats, and you sir, are no rat! (Maybe the fleas on rats).Besides, rats can swim.
LOL !
