Sexist, sexist, sexist, Racist, racist, racist, Bigot, bigot, bigot, Homophobe, homophobe, homophobe, Yada, yada, yada... It's all over. The fat lady is singing for the Dems/Libs. They know that they are being left behind as more and more people become educated with the expansion of the Internet... that's why China's so afraid to let people google over there! They are learning the TRUTH!!! And the TRUTH shall set them free... Roe is going down. Deal, DiFi.

Sorry about the double post. I have a tremor and sometimes hit buttons twice. When I use the remote to turn on the TV, I sometimes accidentally hit the button again, and turn it off.

Very frustrating.

LOL. You are not alone.

The only CLEAR thing about DF is that she has no clue about real legal analysis ... thanks for the "lesson", babe.

[pillut48]

That's okay. That's okay. ;-)

ABORTIONABORTIONABORTIONABORTIONABORTIONABORTIONABORTION Okay, DiFi, we get it. LIFE revolves around abortion. (But wait...abortion is not about life, but about DEATH!)

For some reason I can almost hear Willy Nelson singing, "Aborting's always on my mind."

[syriacus]

That's okay. That's okay. ;-)

LOL!!

[Hoodat]

That's okay. That's okay.

She'll take another Quaalude, and she'll love me in the morning.

[pillut48]

Dr. Tom up!!

I love this guy!!!

[Bahbah]

The tally board has the vote at 52 to 23.

[NapkinUser]

I like Coburn.

[syriacus]

LOL. You are not alone

Occasionally, I long for the good old days of telephones with dials and televisions with knobs.

"The tally board has the vote at 52 to 23."

The Associated Press announced it a few days ago: Alito has a majority of the senate and there will be no filibuster. It's over.

[pillut48]

"A standard they could never live up to..."
Bwahahaha!
YES!!!! Go, Dr. Tom!!! :-)

Maybe they are in Kerry's office now, rubbing the belly of his Buddha, seeking inspiration.

[pillut48]

Indeed!

He seems to be very compassionate and knowledgable.

Which means DiFi and her buddies must think he's SATAN incarnate
