Hey! Get Over IT! Alito Hearings are a FARCE on BOTH SIDES!

[KoKo]

Don't you get it? "Reality TV" Ms. Alito leaves room in tears..daughter stays by "her man." Fodder for Abrahms shows and Tweety and all the rest inluding Wolfie who dominates CNN.... It's PROPAGANDA!!! See it all for what it is. See it all for what "IT IS."

:puke: When are we Dems going to wake up and realize that ALL IS SCRIPTED!

Let's get back to the Issue of "Verified Paper Ballots" and get a bill passed that will put "Our American Citizens Right to Vote" in the Bill of RIGHTS!"

Forget that Lindsey Graham histronics and GET BACK TO BASICS! Every State is under total stress trying to comply with HAVA Voting Act...and the REPUBLICAN OPS are all EMBEDDED IN OUR STATES....PLEASE..Focus on what the MEDIA DOESN'T WANT YOU TO....and WHAT "IS." :shrug: PLEASE!

[OldLeftieLawyer]

1. Thank you

It's hardly spontaneous or honest.

Alito's answers have already been written for him, his movements have been taped, right down to when he takes a drink of water and exactly how long he has to drink that water. Believe me, what his family wears, what "questions" are asked of him, everything.

It's not a hearing - it's a little play, the kind you see in elementary school.

And it's shameful.

[NVMojo]

2. and I'm ashamed to be part of a country with leadership like this

[shance]

5. We have some good Democratic leaders who need our help.

Kennedy, Schumer, Feingold, and Leahy are doing their best.

[KoKo]

13. Agree and "WE've" been supporting them..and supporting them and...

we NEED to KEEP ...supporting them...that's what I'm saying.. This is only ONE Committee......just keep at it and NOT get distracted by the "Whore Media SPIN!"

:shrug:

[malaise]

12. Shameful is the word n/t

[Doc_Technical]

3. Of course it's all a farce....

Some of us think that most of the "Loyal Opposition" are just part of the play.

[LittleClarkie]

4. So you're saying we should ignore Alito for other issues

and not worry about him getting on the bench?

[KoKo]

8. I think that the "MSM" is playing these hearings as Abramoff/Delay/Voting

issue distraction.

Those of us who are fighting so hard in our States against the RW have an "end of January Deadline" as to WHICH VOTING MACHINE WE PURCHASE.

AND...the RW "Touch Screen" advocates are WINNING!!! Those machines will be in MOST STATES...because the BUSHIES have Infected our LOCAL STATE GOVERNMENT!

Look a the BIG PICTURE...What is it the Bushies are hiding.. and we know that ALITO is STAGED.. WHY?

That's all I'm saying...Parse it out.....:-( and it ends up "DARK."

[robbedvoter]

6. uh, to if they script it, we should lay down and let them buldoze us?

What's your point? Everything they do is scripted - the stealing of the elections, the "drumbeat for war" and the marginalizing of our rights to vote. How is it an argument against fillibustering the minion of dark ages?
Why can't we pay attention to more than one issue?
WTF is wrong with these people that keep trying to get others to care of a certain important issue just because they prefer another? :wtf:
How spontaneous were the presidential debates or the Senate hearing re IWR?

[LittleClarkie]

10. It would seem to be a disagreement about which issue is more important

to the OP, the Alito hearing is a distraction from voting issues.

It would seem we need to pay attention to both, actually. Multitasking!

[KoKo]

11. Focus on What they DON'T WANT YOU or "I "to FOCUS ON...is what

I'm saying here. Dont' you think it's interesting that "Alito" HEARINGS..are scheduled in what could be the "WORST SCANDAL" in AMERICAN HISTORY ...since Warren Harding's Administration?

AND..FORGET HARDING! We need to MoveON into MODERN TIMES! If you want "CORRUPTION" ...just Google: Reagan, Iran Contra or if that's "too current" then Google: "Nixon, Cold War."

As a "Researcher" I've found that "comma, "," works better with GOOGLE SEARCH than "+" ...but I'm sure that there are other researchers who would go at me on this "small point" about "how one searches."

[shanti]

7. is that the daughter

sitting next to martha ann?

[KoKo]

9. There was a "hair change" from yesterday to today with the folks sitting

behind Alito. Did ANYONE SEE the daughter run out with her Mother...reduced to TEARS with the attack on her hubby? Or, did you see Alito daughter ...as a stalwart who "stuck by Daddy ...because MOM is SO EMOTIONAL?"

I'm asking because I TRULY BELIEVE this was a RIGHT WING "SET UP" by the REPUGS. :shrug: (Of course, I could be wrong?)

[SoCalDem]

14. Shades of the Bandaid Lady and the purple finger squad

:)

[KoKo]

15. OMG....I know what you say..........

Amazing isn't it? living through "stuff" one thought that one "cleaned up?"

If you get what I'm saying...I know that many folks find me "too obscure."
out of it...garbled..whatever. :D. It doesn't matter to me ...I say what I think and don't take it "too seriously." :D ..well ..that's "BRAVADO" ..I do kinda get "down in the dumps" if folks don't "understand" what I'm tryin' to say...:-)'s

[KoKo]

16. WELL! Jaysus Christ! I'm an Episcopalian...NOT FUNDIE..& these Folks

are DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

What the hell is going on? How many Catholic/Fundies do we need on Supreme Court when our "Voting Rights" are GOING TO HELL in a HANDBASKET...

And ...HEY I'm A SOUTHERNER WHO IS VERY PISSED! I've been here since 1600
s and "thereabouts." Don't DISS my credibility.........because my ROOTS were HERE...and I want to Join with ALL THOSE whose RELATIVES CAME...after mine did!

DON't ALL OF US Have a HUGE STAKE in AMERICAN IDEALS?? Does BUSH...really Fulfill it all? :shrug:

[KoKo]

17. Oh...so you "think" you are "SUPERIOR" ...KoKo01...just Because your

Ancestors came over "before MINE?" Hey koko01 ...you aren't worth SHIT

Why do YOU think YOU are SUPERIOR TO ME! Give me a BREAK!!!!

(posted by the "OP" because I know that folks think that those of us who have a "huge stake in American Democracy" are "WHIMP'S."

[KoKo]

18. Run Off the STAGE Ms. Alito and Ball your Eyes Out! Ophrah Awaits

and the "check is in the mail for you" as a "DC WIFEY!" You "done good Ms Alito"...your Fundie Supporters would be "most proud."

Just now the "Christian Fundie Songsters are writing Ode's" ...and JUST TO YOU...MS ALITO...

CHRISTIAN FUNDIES EVEREY WHERE need to STAND TALL for "MS.ALITO!"

MS. ALITO...IS THE HERO!!! OPRAH...is WAITING! FAUX NEW is WAITING!!!

AMERICA WAITS: "Spellbound for Ms. Alito who will explain how Lindsey Graham caused her to "WILT DOWN IN TEARS" at that "Horrible TRASH of her Hubbie."

(As an aside:...Koko1's Hubby knows that if she behaved like "Alito MOM"...that she would have been "long gone" from our "VERY LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP!!

Well...it's amazing that two fellows drifting along on the currents an tidal waves of CHANGE since the late 60's could still stay together...but we have...and it's FUN...except when I get the "cast iron frying pan out,"..and we GO AT IT!

:D... Spice of life?

[Clara T]

19. Yep

Nominal democracy? Not even.

'Tough' questions will be asked

A few will vote against

Some of the Dems will vote 'for' "with 'reservations" in exchange for a few bread crumbs

The liberal pundits will say "If they don't filibuster Alito what's left?", I've actually heard this ad nauseum.

Alito won't be filibustered

What's 'next' will arrive.

Rinse. Repeat cycle.

The road show will move down the line to the next bombing

[Cleita]

20. No kidding. That's why I didn't waste much time on it.

I'm resigned to the fact that we are going to have a very conservative Supreme Court for a long time. I just hope we can get back Congress in 2006 and the Presidency in 2008. Hopefully, that will balance things out and keep the Supremes in check.

[KoKo]

21. Yes! the "New Females" aren't going to need Abortion...they have the

"Morning After" Pill. I think that this "Abortion" thingy..is kind of out dated given what boxes of tools the NEW MODERN AMERICAN FEMALE finds is "available" to her.

It's kind of a "dead, distracting issue" for most females today. There ARE
"OTHER" alternatives to "SCALITO."

Why "rock the boat." :shrug:
