Wedding Bands

So shut the hell up about an old guy named byrd, and another republican under investigation.

Get your loud mouth off the boards, and go back to your own version of reality; it’s obviously such a warm, compassionate, place to be…I can see why someone would be so concerned over an old man’s past and racial relations, when there are hundreds of thousands of homeless people after Katrina…whether just a perceived lack of interest by the Govt because of race, or not, these people need help.

You ought to pay more attention to CBS. You pretty much already have. I guessed you missed it since you have to spend so much time memorizing your talking points rather than read actual news sites. I think it may not be long before a delegation of your own party make a trip down to the WH to tell Bush it’s time to get out of Dodge. Not unlike the trip they made to see Nixon, but in this case, it will just be about getting out of Iraq. The eviction from his current home is still a possibility. Damn! I know you won’t show up under that name after Nov. 2006 but I will spot you under any name you use, assuming you haven’t blown your brains out, like IRI.

It is going to happen because although most americans who want it to happen have no idea who Ralph Neas is, they all know about Hollywood and wonder why you have switched from the one meme “the Jews control it” to this one, “the liberals control it”. Both memes are as ridiculous as you are. The country is just not what you, a radical minority, wants it to be. You are always free to leave. We don’t put up walls here to keep people in any more than we do to keep them out. That’s America. Love it or leave it. Make our day and do the latter.

Do I agree with the Democrats 100%? Of course not! That would be like saying you agree with the Republicans gutting the funding of the Veterans Administration when we’re increasing their workload from the last two wars we’ve fought this century! Even I know you are not that much of a lemming!

I do, however, believe that the Democrats are the best solution to the Republican party that is drunk on power and holds itself to no standards.

Well, one thing is for certain, they won’t take responsibility for their own actions and blame themselves. heaven forbid! When they say “take responsibility for your actions”, they really mean “We’re going to blame you for being wrong, and we’ll blame you for us being wrong!”

Of course, it was foolish for anyone to support Harriet Meyers. It was the height of foolishness for her to be nominated in the first place. I guess that makes Pres. Bush the commander-in-chief of fools!

#24 – so, you’re not a republican!

Each side has it’s own playbook and frankly neither one is very good. The problem with Alito is not so much he’s conservative as it is he lies, and does not hold himself accountable for much of anything. Unless of course you consider his code word strict constructionist rants!

Oh yes! The new ‘conservatism’ of:
1 – Borrow and spend our way into debt for years and years to come! Make sure our great-great-grandchildren have to pay off the debt we are racking up!
2 – Support the troops by slashing the budget of the Veterans Department!
3 – Cutting taxes on the top one percent of the nation and making sure the AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax) starts to cover more of the middle class!
4 – Under-fund the “No child left behind” legislation by hundreds of billions of dollars!
5 – Pres. Clinton: “It wasn’t that he had sex, it was that he lied about it!” Pres. Bush: “Weapons of Mass Destruction!” (coff-coff-LIE)

Oh, yeah. I’m sure you’re proud as punch over the new conservative era. I’m sure you’ll understand if I refer to it as the “conservative error”.

The most striking litmus test Miers failed was qualifications. (Which explains why Harry Reid supported her.)

Interesting that the Reps want to push the issue “Everyone deserves an up or down vote!”

Why didn’t they feel that way about Harriet Myers? Could it be because they only want “up or down votes” on nominees that pass their extreme litmus test??? Hmmmm…..

Lets not get into the number of nominees that they blocked procedurally dring Pres. Clinton’s term.

Byrd recanted his racist past.

Interesting to note that Strom Thurmond changed from Democrat to Republican when the Democratic party began to embrace the civil rights laws and work for the oppressed people in America.

Funny, poor ‘ole Strom never said “Oh, by the way, I’m sorry for all my racist remarks in the past.”

By the way, does C-BS stand for “Conservative B.S.”?

Fine – I will stop trashing Byrd and look at the content of his argument. The party that controls the White House and the Senate should not have to cater to the minority on judges when the same was not done for them in the 1993-94 period when the reverse held true. Democrats appointed who they wanted and barring anything that would make them unfit, they were approved with little noise.

Now, even though Democrats have bled seats over this very issue, they insist on Bush appointing judges acceptable to Ralph Neas and Hollywood. It’s not going to happen. Republicans would be crazy to cave – they will lose their majority if they do.

As for what Byrd said, he actually said “white n-bomb” referring specifically to white people, and referring to the derogatory term often used to describe someone of a specific set of ‘behaviors’ and not a race, so you are misrepresenting the event as republican liars always do…

This term is used extensively in west virginia to describe republican rednecks like yourself. I don’t like the term personally, but it isn’t a ‘racial’ term, it is a socio-economic slur.
