He stuck to talking about Alito and not bringing up President Bush for no reason. Ahhhhh....but there is a reason. Biden is the only DemocRAT so far NOT to mention the constitutionality of wiretapping private citizens. Not the wiretapping of non-citizens who are suspected terrorists and felons. It seems to be one of the Dem talking points today.

Can't Spector make them stay on the subject? What does "Evil Bush spying on enemy" have to do with Alito hearing?

Stupid RATS are going to try to Bork Alito. They're playing the race card, machine guns, torture, etc. But they forget that this is not 1987. There was no Rush Limbaugh then, there was no Free Republic. Thankfully, that has changed.

I think he has a good chance...

I might even send some money to his campaign...it is about time that Pennsylvania get some GREAT politicians...

I am nervous about Santorum, though.

The Blue Meanies are like little kids banging on the table "I WANT IT! I WANT IT! GIMME! GIMME! GIMME! I WANT IT NOW!" Tough. Elections matter and we are in charge. You're right. This isn't 1987. The red states want to go their own way on this issue.

Listen to Feinstein. She is just too dumb to understand the case law. Oh, she wants to know how Judge Alito "feels".

*rolling my eyes* The "women's right to choose" phrase is only slightly less disgusting than the "reproductive rights" phrase.

A while back..we had a lengthy thread about which state had the worst pair of senators...CA obviously..but my two in NY are NO prize..then there is Washington..and don't forget MD, and MICH has a real pair of boobies..though this fall, we have a chance to give the good people of WASH and MD some decent representation in the Senate..

Don't forget MA...Kerry and Kennedy?

I'll donate to his campaign. I'm a loyal Virginian, but Mr Swann will get my full support.

Hope you are a FReeper, sir.
