Stu Ghatze said:No, ..they are not. Guilt by association, smear tactics etc. Why....Judge Alito is white, republican, & conservative, & therefore, ..he "must" be seen as a racist, a homophobe, a sexist, & the greatest threat to civil rights.
Somehow all these sublime messages are NOT sticking; ..& listening callers on C-span are describing most of these senate democrat inquisitors behavior as reprehensible.
Gee, maybe these poll loving democrats will try to have C-span coverage eliminated from public viewing one day when they realize how bad they do REALLY look, & act when they are so desperate to hang on to activist court rulings (abortion) that never could pass the muster test for legal legislated law!
Senate democrats= "we're melting, we're melting,...ahh curses"! :smile:
aps said:On a more serious note, I watched some of the questions that Schumer asked Alito yesterday, and it p*ssed me off. He was interrupting Alito and being an a$$hole. I normally like Schumer because I find him very articulate, but this has made me see him in a different light. He was condescending. What the hell is the point of being that way when you're (1) trying to understand someone's thought processes and (2) dealing with someone who is smarter than you (as I would be shocked if Schumer was smarter than Alito). Regardless, that kind of treatment towards someone is totally uncalled for. Grrrrrrr The more I see the dems treat Alito badly, the more I believe he should be confirmed. They are acting like kids who are throwing a tantrum. Grow the hell up. We all know he'll get confirmed. I have not seen any reason whatsoever for a filibuster, and if the dems want to do it, they better get ready to deal with the consequences.
Stu Ghatze said:Dear Aps, ..excellent point you made & I respect you for your honesty!
aps said:Hi Stu! Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. I am just so disappointed to see the dems behaving like this.
Stu Ghatze said:...I'am so disgusted in the fashion that a once great party so disintegrated, & represents hardly anything that it once did.
I tell you, ...there was a time when many of the things the repubs claim as their own that dems actually embraced long before.
IMO, ..the modern dem party is alienating many many good voting supporters by its so far off the wall left leaning philosophical differences on many issues.
True. Biden spoke for nearly 15 minutes without ever asking Alito a single question. He just rambled on and then his time was up. It was hysterical.Kandahar said:Like I said in the other Alito thread, these hearings are ridiculous. The senators don't give a **** about hearing what Alito has to say; it's just an opportunity for them to grandstand.
Paladin said:I didn't discover political debate forums until right after the 2002 winter olympics and found some Europeans at another site who truly hated the US and it's citizens. From there I discovered that there was a real nasty divide between some rep/cons and some dem/libs.
I voted democrat based on the person. I delegated for Sen. Paul Simon. He represented what I felt was important. I voted for Carter because of the same thing. I vote for Rep. Sen Charles Grassley for those reasons and because all his constituency is important to him. He is a fine, honorable, decent man. Until recently I felt the same about Dem. Sen Tom Harkin.
What really turned me against the rep/con party was it's supporters and their strident caterwauling against anyone who opposes Bush.
After all that, I really dislike it when I find that I agree with a rep/con. :mrgreen:
Good points Stu.
I have a question; Do you rep/cons feel all democratic senators or congressmen are cut of the same cloth as Shumer, Kennedy and their ilk? Are there any you would consider for a national position? And why?
Same for you dem/libs; Any republican representatives you would support? If you couldn't tell, I would back Sen. Grassley, but I think he is happy being the distinguished gentleman from Iowa.
I would like to know what others feel and why, since we are only two years away from the Iowa caucuses and I would like to atone for my support of Edwards after what I have learned.
