Under what set of false pretenses did McConnel get elected? How does his constituency put up with his incompetence?

Since they only seem to be talking to their 18% lately, I guess this makes sense, in a Republican way; but they look like a bunch of hysterical ninnies.

Can you imagine working with people like this?

It’s natural for a three year old to bang around with the alarms sounding constantly, but then again, that’s when an adult should be working very hard to ensure that the child is not rewarded for terrible behavior, and teaching the child to regulate their emotions.

So glad the enfant terrible is no longer in the White House. The residuals are a sorry spectacle. I want a 100% adult Congress. We’ve got more pressing problems to deal with than their childishness—that should be a private matter between them and their social worker.

Do R. politicians have an x painted on the floor so they can get the halo effect when they pontificate? Or does the photographer do it to make them look silly?

Remeber that the rethuglicans always sound outlandish because they are talking to the 21%ers. They are talking to a group of hateful wingnuts with a combined IQ of less than room temperature. That is why they sound so stupid to thinking people.

Zooey:

Yes, I agree that she will try to be unbiased as most judges at all levels try to be. But human nature being what it is, there is no way that the venom that is being spewed won’t have an effect on her, and to the detriment of those that are the most vocal.

I said the same about Justices Alito and Roberts during their confirmation hearings. The difference in this case is one of race, and the Republicans are just underscoring the need for race to be a factor in deciding cases. Again, to their detriment.

Seriously, they’re wasting whatever shreds of political capital they have left on this. They can’t stop Sotomayor and the fact is they don’t really have any reason to want to. The only result of going obstructionist on the Sotomayor nomination is making them look stupid as they perform ridiculous backflips to try to construct one transparently fake reason after another to oppose it.

Learn to pick your battles, R’s. Otherwise by the time something you can legitimately oppose comes along, everybody will be already too sick of your crap to listen.

Lefty Liberal Says:

As I posted before, are the Republicans stupid enough to keep smearing Judge Sotomayor, and then expect her to be completely unbiased once she is on the bench?

I expect Judge Sotomayor to be as unbiased as any human can be while on the bench. A good judge does not take these types of attacks into consideration when making decisions — it’s not about them, it’s about the case at hand and the law.

On the other hand, the Latino voting block is not blind or deaf — actions have consequences. The Republicans have probably lost those votes.

My goodness! McConnell needs to STFU! His comments are a ticket to the disaster of the GOP.

And thanks to the Bush Crime Family and the Rethuglican party, Guatanamo has become a disaster for all of America.

The Obama Administration needs to move forward with the nomination of Sotomayor.

Good pic TP! HAHA!
