I didn’t think Leahy could read. He certainly didn’t read the Stimulus Bill. Maybe that’s why those folks from the Northeast elect him and Kennedy and Barney, and Dodd. Between them all you might be able to salvage a read AND write capability.

Boy, if we could just get the abortion nutz to lighten up, maybe the Republicans could save this country from ruinous spending by the liberals, but I guess it is better to have a marxist narcissistic megalomaniac in favor infanticide in the white house rather than support any Republican that believes people of good will could have differing opinions on this subject.

“People of good will” don’t believe in murdering the defenseless in cold blood. OBTW: clean the infant blood off your fangs.

‘Leaky’ Leahy not gunning for a radical leftist to change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel with their bare hand and totally negate the Constitution for the same sort of laws Hugo has? This guy would appoint Bernadine Dohrn if he could.

I’m sure that Leahy will be dropping that letter in the “circular” file.

Obama is the president, he will decide who gets appointed to the Supreme Court. The hard right will argue against any one Obama nominates. Maybe the hardright didn’t get the memo in last falls campaign for president, this Democrat plays hardball, his name isn’t John Kerry. If the right wants a fight on the nominee, then they’ve come to the right place. Better fasten those chinstraps Bucko, Obama will beat you like a rented mule.

They’re not tending towards gay marriage. But they will thanks to liberal dominion over media and education. All the conservatives who thought it was a good idea to push your kids towards becoming a lawyer or a doctor or a businessman and avoid the arts like the plague, good job!

“People of good will” don’t support infanticide. And the constant screeching of you cretins about abortion being the reason why people won’t vote republican is asinine. Newsflash: moderates don’t care about abortion either way. So we can be as crazy pro or anti abortion as we want. They do care about foreign and fiscal policy, and the Republicans lost because they were a disaster on both, and the ‘best’ part is that most people will associate Bush with fiscal conservatism and the war hawks. If there really are “toxic assets” in the GOP, it’s the pro-war libertarians. And I’m curious, which pro-choice candidate could’ve done better than McLame? Crossdressing Rudy “I’m gonna pimp 9/11 in my favor for all it’s worth” Ghouliani? Please.

but Souter was as liberal as possible on abortion. This selection won’t change the balance on the court,

I hope you are right… I think you are.

But every time I think society can’t get any worse… it always does.

Who would have thought even ten years ago that the polls would be tending toward gay marriage? Twenty years ago we would have said anyone saying that was a total kook.

Things can always get worse.
