I just heard him on a very short today show segment. All the Democrats can hope for is another opening in the future. :eyes:

1. Throw Diebold and ES&S election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor' NOW!
Our loss of our right to vote is the key to it all!

Martin Luther King knew this.

3. Timmy should stuff it where the sun don't shine
In the meantime, I hope Fitzgerald indicts him along with the rest of the criminal cabal he works for.

4. it is not up to russert but the democrats
if they stand together they can filibuster this nomination, they have the votes, and even if the pukes bring up the nuke option and win at least we will have done everything we could

In a way I would like to see that senerio, and then we win congress back in 2006, and give the pukes their own medicine by using the nuke option they passed against them

6. There's nothing they WILL do about it.
Caving and whining is sooo much easier than a "risky" filibuster.

8. Someday, Russert will be forced to atone for his unethical, shoddy...
Edited on Sun Jan-15-06 08:32 AM by Cooley Hurd
...journalism.

He should stop the water-carrying now, if he wants to preserve what little chance he has left for forgiveness.

If not, he'll be forced into exile with the rest of those who facilitated our descent into America's first dictatorship.:thumbsdown:

10. If you ever noticed
Timmeh, along with EVERY news anchor on EVERY cable news station, along with EVERY principal in the Bush regime, never served in uniform in combat.....except for Powell, and we all know how his advice was shunned.

My theory is that these people have not had many life experiences outside of their beltway politicking and kissing ass at cocktail parties. They luv Bush because they can all relate to each other. No life experiences equals shallow suck-up personalities. They know people like myself have called them yellow-bellied draft-dodging cowards ever since Viet Nam, but now they can try and shuck that stereotype off by being in league with their own ilk. It makes them feel good, important, less of a chickenhawk coward when sucking up to their own kind in power.

Bottom line, they SUCK!:mad:

13. and this is what we may all face when he is ...
(last four paragraphs of Bev Conover's article- "Face it ..."

As for Alito, is it too far-fetched to think this guy may be something other than he appears to be? Consider how he has made a career of sucking up to Republicrats who could advance his climb up the ladder. Is he merely a yes man or has he just been working toward the big prize: a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court? Do we really want to find out? Because if he allies himself with Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, it will take only one more radical "strict constructionist" on the court to cook us and give Bush anything and everything he wants.

If the Democans can't put up a fight to keep Alito or any other radical conservative off the court, what makes anyone think they will have the guts to draw bills of impeachment against Bush and his whole administration -- even if the powers behind the curtain rig the vote to let them regain both houses next November?

If either wing of our one major party had a shred of decency and any regard for the constitution they swore to uphold and defend, Alito and any other nominee needing Senate confirmation should have been bounced out the first time they refused to answer a question, waffled or wavered. The American people have a right to know what they are getting. And any Democan or Republicrat who quivers in fear of being accused of "Borking" a nominee disgraces the country and us.

The same band of fascists who have taken over the Republican Party also control the Democratic Party through the monstrous Democratic Leadership Council. A fact that many have yet to face up to. But come November, millions will dutifully cast votes on rigged equipment and the powers that be will pretend to count them, knowing full well the outcome beforehand

14. I can't watch him.
He makes me want to puke and fills me with rage.

I hate what this country and what my former profession (journalism) has become.

I don't know if I'm mad or sad, really.

15. Someday, Timmy will no longer have access.
Sooner, rather than later, I hope. And there will be nothing he can do about it. Is this what Big Russ taught you Timmy? Maybe, maybe not.

17. how worthless are the dems? as worthless as the badge on republican
sheriff's chest, or the fat in rush limbah-humbug's head, or the sincerity in lindsay graham's smile, or the spawn of old man russert's fukking loins
mind you, there are some worthy reps in the democratic party, so maybe they'll surprise us! remember, bill clinton was impeached by the congress! impeached! remember that.....

18. Not true. He can be impeached.
Supreme Court justices can be impeached, as I posted on another thread in GD.

21. This outcome was practically decided in 2004
Unless a Bush nominee terrorized the majority of Americans enough to get the republicans to vote againt him. Elections have consequences and Americans gave the repubs control of all branches of government.
