Bullies found on the Senate playground

[ShelleyAa]

Throughout time instruction has been given to our youth regarding bullies, giving options to consider. Today, American citizens are being bullied by subtle and not so subtle actions coming from the Senate floor. Time has come to consider options needed to tackle the unjust tactics, threatening our freedom.

Recently Present Bush sent a number of judicial names for consideration to the Senate, of which Judge Charles Pickering’s name was resubmitted. Indignation from Democrats was predictable and evident. With fury have come filibuster threats. My argument deals not with validity of the filibuster, but rather who it is directed at.

Judge Pickering has been singled-out due to accusations of racial insensitivity. In dogmatic manner, with broad brush they point to a ruling in a 1994 Mississippi cross burning case.

With calls for a filibuster, my question is, why? Are they fearful that the public will see his record; realizing politicking has had more to do with discrimination than the Judge’s record? What if the public were to learn that the so called “extremist” was nothing of the kind?

America’s judicial example provides that one is innocent until proven guilty. Should not Democrats have to prove their accusations are indeed correct? Is a man’s cherished reputation not worthy of us erring on the side of consideration and decency?

Distortion and harassment must not be permitted simply because one does not fit Democrat’s judicial, philosophical mold. Facts are available regarding Judge Pickering and we must insist that they are given in totality, suppressing them is not an option.

Thankfully, courage and leadership have been shown by President Bush in resubmitting Judge Pickering’s nomination. To stop the “political bullies” it will take similar action by all fair-minded citizens, demanding elected legislators govern as the people wish, allowing this man a right to have “his day in court.”

demanding elected legislators govern as the people wish, ........

The age of instant information has given the wishes of the people over to the wishes of the media.

I've always found the best way to deter a bully is to hit them back as hard as you can. You may take more of a beating in the short term, but they will eventually get the message that it's gonna hurt them everytime they mess with you, and they will move on to weaker targets.

Looks like the 'rats didn't get the message on '02...Kick 'em in the nads Dubya!

Pictures of pets? Like cats and dogs? How much $$$ for a picture of my ex-wife? She was one real bit....

"The age of instant information has given the wishes of the people over to the wishes of the media."

Just the opposite is true.
The liberal media is no longer the influence it used to be.
Fox, talk radio and the internet have informed people and the country is moving to the right.

It's about time.

Bullies found on the Senate playground..They weren't Bullies, that was Peta watching a cock fight....

[JoeSixPack1]

For many years our voice was drowned by talking points to the media distributed by politicians for politicians. The media let us down, and I can't applaud the come back without remembering the abandonment.

There are still taboo inverview questions. There are still behind the scenes handshake deals for politicans TV time.

Moving right or left is immaterial to the well being of the country as that was originally both their goals.

Today that is no longer true. The empowerment the complacent media has given to both sides of the aisle have allowed the worst corrupt activities to just fall off the national screen because of partisanship and media alignment.

5 Republican Senators are going to vote NO on Bush's Tax proposals.

[Once-Ler]

I have no idea what you are saying unless you are a tin-foil hat kindda guy.
You talk as though the media is the same entity it was 30 years ago.

I just said Fox, talk radio, and the internet.
Your comments give the impression the Rush and Hanity are all in on some big conspiracy to keep you ignorant.
Is that what you mean to convey?

"Moving right or left is immaterial to the well being of the country as that was originally both their goals."

Could you please explain this for me...it is undecipherable

[solo gringo]

The Deomcrats are afraid that Bush will get some honest judges that they can not buy.They would be in trouble and have to face the music with all thier shady deals IMHO.

[Coleus]

President Bush Appoints 5 PRO-ABORTION Judges to the Federal Judiciary in New Jersey, Repent now Mr. Bush

Is President Bush Really Pro Life?"

[JoeSixPack1]

Next.

[Coleus]

President Bush and the US Congress, Please stop Funding Title X and Planned Parenthood, Now, the last thing we need is the US Govt. funding Sexual Health Clinics which provide abortions and Condom Distribution in Schools.

[Once-Ler]

I have to say that your explaination is a bit lite, even unsubstantial.
I'm not convinced.

[ShelleyAa]

I understand that if the information you have links for is accurate - distrust would result, however please address the need for action regarding the Pickering situation. Do you feel a need to write off this simply because you feel President Bush may or may not have honored his Pro-life stance? Do you feel that the Democrats have the right to destroy a man simply because he may be pro-life? Address please.
