There is nothing at all lost by fighting this nomination. Republicans holding together can only win and drive up both Democrat and Obama negatives by forcing them to resort to the same kind of in your face shove it down your throat politics. Most Americans aren’t going to be supportive of a fairly ugly woman who didn’t support our troops. There is absolutely nothing for Republicans to lose by fighting this. It will give them added credibility. I wish this was much closer to Nov. It would be a perfect catalyst to get every last conservative to the polls. If only we could drag this out till Nov 2. ;-)
We need more than this to stop her. Most will agree that this reflects badly on her, but isn’t enough by itself to disqualify her.
I agree. I think anyone out there “warning” the Repubs that the — oooh!! — boogieman is going to jump out of the shadows and yell “BOO” if they oppose this nomination with all they got is nothing but a transparent political charlatan.
I don’t see most Americans having any sympathy for a dum bass who works overtime to keep military recruiters off a campus, particularly off Harvard. HELLO.
At least the following synapses fire when this info gets spread to the general public, in no particular order:
1. Who is this witch who is so anti-military, so loathing of our armed forces, that she doesn’t even want them on her campus possibly offering jobs, not to mention the opportunity for service to the nation, to adult students who can make up their own dang minds for whom they want to work?
2. Who made this witch God so that she gets to determine whether military service is or is not right for those oh-so-elite Harvard graduates?
3. Who is this witch who is so out-of-touch that she did everything in her power to keep the alleged intellectual elite at Harvard safe for Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, etc., and most definitely would never allow them to be exposed to — ugh — those buffoonish military officers whose job is, you know, to kill people and break things — AS IF?
4. Isn’t it liberals (or, as she calls herself in her thesis, radicals) who are always wailing that it’s the “poor” who “must” become “cannon fodder” in the U.S. military — yet this witch throws her body in front of the military staff car rather than allow “THOSE PEOPLE” (military recruiters) to set foot onto the high-and-mighty, non-poor, non-cannon-fodder Harvard campus?
I could go on.
And that doesn’t even get to the fact that Kagan’s motivation for this was something to do with . . . a sex act?
Please.
