[Sydnie]

1. We wear you out ... but you wub us just the same!

:loveya:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

3. Probably more so...

[ralps]

2. Sen. Kit Bond of Missouri up now. Gross, He says Alito will be impartial

[Skidmore]

5. What was that meeting he requested?

Was that the gang of 14?

[benny05]

6. I had to turn off the tv

Bond's assessment of Borklito as a fair and impartial justice was so revolting
:puke:

[Fovea]

86. I guess

his wife's check from Abramoff cleared.

[LeftNYC]

8. good time for a bathroom break...

the bathroom is always an impartial judge...

[fooj]

11. LOL...that's were I headed off to!

Peace.

[The Witch]

13. Because it's all equal when it comes out.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

[LeftNYC]

17. LOL! nt

[nickinSTL]

9. couldn't really expect anything better from Bond

or Talent of MO...

I've emailed them both, but I know it's a lost cause.

[Inuca]

4. Bond up

one of the dumbest...

[DemonGoddess]

7. Bond is

just soooooo lovey dovey for Alito ain't he? BLECH

[Mind_your_head]

10. Bond's making all these 'declaration's' about Alito w/o giving

any evidence that what he says about Alito is true. Oh, except that 'other people' (people who worked with him) say Alito's a-ok.

:eyes:

[henslee]

14. He sounds like Boss Hog.

[Mind_your_head]

19. He does. Thank G_d he's done now! phew...... n/t

[Marie26]

15. "put aside special-interest

pressure groups to invoke cloture" Does he mean, us? It sounds like they're at least worried that the Dems could fillibuster this.

[Sydnie]

12. cornholio is up now n/t

[LeftNYC]

16. I want to hear a Dem Senator say...

Alito will legislate from the bench like Bill Frist diagnosis from his office...

it'll never happen, but dare to dream...

[uppityperson]

18. LTE be part of public record? ooookay

up or down vote. How dare people want to keep talking rather than vote! up or down vote (constitution requires) bs bs bs bs bsb sb sb sb s bs sbdsdgwgbwgbsbsbsbsbsbsbsbsbsbsbsbsbsbsbs

[Marie26]

20. Another Rep. wanting "up or down vote"

Tactics for delay, etc. They do sound worried.

[uppityperson]

23. Keep a count of how many times he repeats that phrase.

[Marie26]

29. Often

"Special interest groups" is a favorite as well. They've "fallen under the spell" of special interest groups. And he wouldn't be attacking so hard if he truly thought it was futile, IMO.

[ekelly]

22. Yuck! Cornyn!

Someone please adopt me! I have no Senate representation here in Texas!



Edited for typo

[Helga Scow Stern]

27. Interest groups? I thought we were citizens. n/t

[slide to the left]

32. Amen ekelly! nt

[Radio_Lady]

63. I'll adopt you here in (western) Oregon! Sorry you have to live in TX.

Cronie-yn is a handsome slimeball! I won't wish for someone to poison his creme brulee -- but just a whack with a tennis racket on both his knees would do it!

YIKES! I'm so sick of hearing that the Supreme Court makes no laws! Fuck him! That is the biggest lie of all. Why, hell! They appointed Bush in the first place. Where was the vote count law to protect that STOLEN election?

[bear425]

24. Cornyn - "Resistance is Futile"

BEAR425: I SEE FOUR LIGHTS!

[Kire]

21. I did some live blogging at BlueJersey.net

both our Senators just had the floor

I hope you get something out of this:

[LiberalAndProud]

25. Repulicans are LIARS and I can prove it.

My daughter is making a sign

Phil Buster
Call
441-4600



____
We are NOT interest groups, we are NOT thefar left!!! Get Out there & BE VISIBLE (if you are finished with your calling)

Edit: (temper the PASSION.. check for errors)

[sundancekid]

103. gotta love your edit because it has so much style :: here's a quote

especially for you (and your daughter - apple not far from tree on that wicked brilliance)

"Moderation in temper is always a virtue,
but moderation in principle is always a vice."
(Thomas Paine) -- who would be soooooooo proud today!

[Sydnie]

26. Hey Cornyn ... we ARE the American people

Funny, his colleague this morning was all for the ads by the swiftboaters. Can't have it both ways dude.

[slide to the left]

28. Cornyn, blah!

His website puts tracking cookies on your computer! Hmm, thats not legal.

I can't stand this guy. The DM News is a crappy paper, I read the Ft. Worth Star.

I hate that I am mis-represented by this guy.

I e-mail him all the time telling him what he needs to change.

He has ties to Jack, big ones!

He is one to talk about special interest!

[0007]

38. This guy is one of the orginals of the three stooges.

He is an ass kissing theif that belongs in prison with Jack Abramoff.

The dumbest of the dumb that ever came out of the state of Texas.

[Cats Against Frist]

30. How come when it's the Christotaliban who sinks a SC nominee

it's OK, but when Dem constituents have problems, we're a bunch of "special interest groups?" What an asshole.

[Mind_your_head]

31. Cornyn ....."Resistance is Futile"

'Special Interest Group'? Is that like when the shrub called the American people "a focus group"?

How dare Cornyn marginalize ALL the American citizens who don't want this guy Alito on the SCOTUS!

:mad:

[Marie26]

35. Why is it "judicial activism" imposing views

when it comes to school prayer, but it's OK when they reverse Roe v. Wade?

[AZBlue]

33. Oh, someone please slap this asshole now!!!!!!!

Excuse my language, but I'm about ready to scream.

[uppityperson]

36. SLAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AZBlue]

43. Ah, thank you!!

I feel so much better now!!
:hi:

[Cats Against Frist]

I'll slap him again -- he's really pissing me off

asshole ----> :spank: -----> me

[Cats Against Frist]

58. Looks like someone is attempting some race/class war rhetoric.

Cultural supremacy is on the march.

[AZBlue]

77. I'm just having such a problem with them taking the opportunity to

attack Dems instead of talking about Alito. Can't they stay on topic just once??!

[Marie26]

37. He's an idiot

Hitting all the cliches in one stupid speech. "Ponographers can speak, citizens must keep silent. Criminals have more rights than victims" blah blah blah

[AZBlue]

50. Yes he is! Who's he talking about anyway?

I don't know anyone in the "hard left" (was that really the term he used??) that promotes these ridiculous ideas.

[Marie26]

90. Exactly

It's the scary liberal boogeyman they create to scare people into voting Republican.

[BR_Parkway]

60. Don't forget us gays - we're out to steal all the ReThug husbands

for our very own (have these people looked in the mirror?!? They have no danger of being recruited)

[booksenkatz]

34. This Fort Worth gal says

I bet ole Cornholio has raped a few gals in his time in the back seats of cars. "Darlin, it's gonna happen, don't resist, just relax, why are you trying to fight something that's gonna happen anyway." That's what this speech sounds like to me.

[ekelly]

42. Hey patsified

Just north of Ft. Worth here

Hubby said something similar about cornholio a few days ago.

Funny :)

[booksenkatz]

57. Well, I'm waaaaaay north of Foat Wuth these days

happily living in a blue state (Michigan), but I still have strong ties to Texas. It's where I grew up and I learned how to love the parts of it that are loveable very deeply. I visit often and do still feel very much a part of it. And I hate these rapists now as much as the ones that ran things back when I lived there!!!

:hi:

And by the way, welcome to DU! Crazy day here, huh?

[ekelly]

75. Thanks for the welcome n/t

[Imalittleteapot]

68. Where just North of FW? I'm right in the

middle of Fort Worth, close to downtown.

[ekelly]

79. JUST north.......

.........in North Richland Hills.

Howdy, intelligent neighbor!

[AZBlue]

64. "Darlin', don't delay for delay's sake."

[booksenkatz]

84. ^^ROFL^^

That's it! Yep!

[Blue_In_AK]

71. Funny, I lived in Texas back in the '60's...

...when I was a teenager and young adult, and I can still hear those very words in my ear. :rofl:

[Sydnie]

39. lower middle class - haven't heard that term since junior high school

Shit .. I hate this asshole!

[ClayZ]

40. Hard Left Beats Left Behind

[Marie26]

44. Thanks for speaking for "the ethnics" nt

[xiamiam]

41. all the freakin talking points...screw him...barf...nt

[uppityperson]

54. religious must be silent, pornographers can speak

terrorists run rampant, us godfearinglovingfolks are limited in what we do. blah blah blah.

Alito would've been democrat yrs ago. SLAP

[rox63]

45. I had to mute the sound

Or I'd have started throwing heavy objects at my teevee.

[Mind_your_head]

46. People on the hard left? liberal democrats?

Oh no Cornyn....there's a WHOLE bunch of old-time conservatives (and others) who don't want to see Alito on the court.

Geez, it makes me feel dirty listening to this guy's lies (and framing)! :puke:

[BReisen]

47. The Ethnics?

And now he's playing the ethnic card? "The Ethnics"??? What crap is that?

[Marie26]

52. When's the last time you heard that?

"The Ethnics." Spoken by a WASP who's been here since the Mayflower.

[slide to the left]

48. Ethnic?

So does Cornyn care about black people now?

[Sydnie]

49. Republicans asked questions? Where? To whom?

Is he talking about the 60's? :wtf: is he even talking about?

[TheBaldyMan]

51. who is that whacko Cormyn

the ACLU stand for child-molesters and turrists.
St. Alito can do no wrong and isn't an activist judge who supports the constitution
and monkeys might fly out of my butt

whatever his meds are, I want some: he must be tripped out.

[ClayZ]

53. Alito has no emotions he is a ROBOT

[slide to the left]

61. Middle class

Cornyn doesn't like the middle class because they don't donate to him. He makes me so mad. Can't wait til hes up for re-election again.

[Vinca]

55. I CANNOT STAND CORNYN!!!!!

Going nuts, going nuts, going nuts, going nuts. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

[Marie26]

56. "Respects authority"

This guy is really a facist, isn't he?

[Marie26]

59. Was Alito really from middle class home? nt

[0007]

62. John Cornyn called me a terrorist because I don't believe his

fucking lies.

[slide to the left]

65. He stopped lying

He sat down

[Sydnie]

67. Hard to speak when you are sitting on your mouth, isnt it?

:rofl:

[xiamiam]

66. Them happens to be the majority of Americans...ahole...nt

[Marie26]

69. Father was legislative Director

"The judge's late father, Samuel Alito Sr., was director of New Jersey's Office of Legislative Services from 1952 to 1984."

Coryn made it sound like Alito worked his way up from the shipyards or something.

[Marie26]

70. oops. nt

[Radio_Lady]

72. Hatch is up next. My son and his family are in Utah.

[Sydnie]

73. Like he was the "son of a mill worker"

He is nothing if not priviledged.

[Skidmore]

81. He's a son of a somethin' or other, alright.

Jeff Sessions - the twang of democracy
Oral Hatch - the whine of democracy

[Career Prole]

106. Always struck me as strange how much Sessions sounds like

Huckleberry Hound. I thought Huckleberry Hound was a blue dog...

[Marie26]

82. Right

I don't like how Alito sort of exploited his immigrant heritage in the opening statement. We're all immigrants; but he made it sound like he came from an under-privileged background that he did not.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

74. Hatch up next... you don't think he would be stupid enough to bring up

Ginsberg, do you? That would be hilarious.

[Radio_Lady]

80. Democrats are "rigging the process." God damned rethug!

[pdxmom]

76. I want to know who all these "special interest groups" of the left

the Repukes keep mentioning? Are they related to the "special interest groups" of the right that got Harriet Meiers tossed out before an up or down vote?

Why doesn't anyone specify who these "groups" are? Are average citizens calling at a grass roots level a "special interest group"? Or all those phone banks from the right that swamped Sen. Byrd's office to get him to vote for Alito a "special interest group"?

Who are they talking about????

[Idioteque]

102. I think he means us. :) n/t

[Sydnie]

78. Aren't they the ones that said we shouldn't have to stand on precedent?

I can't keep their talking points straight anymore.

[ralps]

Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah up now, Trying to make the case for cloture &

For Alito. Alito has "Strong bipartisan support"

[helderheid]

85. When Hatch speaks, I am obligated to urge everyone to donate to

his opponent Pete Ashdown: www.peteashdown.org

[ralps]

89. Now he's bring up Obama's comments

[xiamiam]

97. and why exactly did Obama need to make those comments?..nt

[rainy]

83. is Kerry ever going to get to finish his speech?

[suffragette]

87. Hatch bringing up Fortis

I thin they're getting worried.

[ClayZ]

92. They have strained voices... eh?

Kind of in bad moods!

[ClayZ]

99. A little cloud hangs over their words!

[Horse with no Name]

88. What is truly despicable

Is that these Goobers don't realize that the ONLY ones representing the American people's interests are the ones that are standing up for the filibuster.
The rest of these asshats need to be marginalized and sent to work for the corporations they represent so handily...
Oh wait...

[uppityperson]

91. So what if Kerry was in Switzerland working when he called for debate!

wtf does that have to do with the price of tea in Poland?

[Sydnie]

93. they are trying to Dixie Chick him for it. nt

[helderheid]

94. that is pure desperation folks!

They are SHAKING!

[ekelly]

100. Seems to me, that shows

Kerry is capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time......thanks for pointing that out Repukes!
Too bad you can't say that of the Dictator

[Kurovski]

105. About the "Switzerland" thing:

The self-destructive dumbells will eat it up. They'll actually think it means something. "Kerry is an elitist" they'll think, all the while BushCo is dragging their middle-class life closer to the poverty line.

That's what it has to do with the price of Kielbasa in Krakow!

[Kurovski]

95. Hatch just used Obama's words against us!

Thanks Barack:eyes:

Next time please send your complaints to the Dems in private, don't give the Republican's an assertion to use against us!

Criminy, dude!

[Horse with no Name]

96. "Former State Supreme Court Justice"

Don't forget his shining moments...like giving redneck law enforcement renegades awards for railroading the "ethnics"

[Viva_La_Revolution]

98. Thread 6 is up!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x270756

[Marie26]

101. Explaining precedent

for all those Senators who don't understand it. When is a Democrat speaking?

[ooglymoogly]

104. hatch nanse extaordinair we need r kelian

to sing 'come out ta closit' to this hipocryt bitch this guy needs a slap down
