Judicial Fight - Hypocrisy and the Judicial Fight

[dArKeR]

It’s a small thing, but I find it really grating. Republicans refer to their Democrat colleagues, pointedly dropping the suffix that makes it an adjective, and grammatically correct. I’m waiting for the day when Democrats refer to Republic senators. It’s so silly, but it’s a symptom of the deep-seated partisanship that drives so much of politics today.

AS I WRITE this, “Republic” senators are charging that Democrats harbor racial and ethnic bias and are antiwoman because they are blocking the nominations of several Bush choices for the federal appeals court who fall into these categories. Minorities and women are the core constituencies of the Democratic Party, and the GOP forfeited any claim it might have on gender sensitivity when George W. Bush signed the late-term abortion ban surrounded by 14 postmenopausal men. Whatever one’s position on legalizing abortion rights, the absence of even a single woman in the photo op was a huge blunder.

1. Not a blunder....

"the absence of even a single woman in the photo op was a huge blunder" -just the reality of their world. Women's aren't in the picture, women aren't important to the argument....
