DUMBASSES!

Alito has a lifetime record of advocating and ruling FOR corporations OVER workers' safety and rights, and NO ONE figures out that the mineworkers' needless deaths are the price this country pays for those rulings?


Funny how the GOP can take a few fake tears and pound the Democrats with it, yet the ENTIRE LEFT can't connect the REAL DEATHS of laborers and use it to expose the procorporate/anti-worker agenda of Alito and the Republican party.

3. Sorry I missed Durbin's remarks - media did its job for GOP ... AGAIN.
THAT is how the Daily Show wants to balance their attacks? By using serious issues AGAINST Democrats who speak to them?

That's one of the problems with this country - even leftleaning media affects a faux balance and trips up REAL ISSUES for Dems.

5. Well, to be fair
They then switched on to Coburn's ridiculous abortion talk. See for yourself

6. I see that as part of a BIG problem - they REACH to attack a Dem using a
REAL issue thereby diminishing the issue AND the Dem, just so they can claim they attack both sides. That's DISGUSTING.

4. I don't watch television and save myself countless hours of suffering.
Edited on Fri Jan-13-06 10:21 AM by Straight Shooter
I get all the agony I can endure from reading DU and other sources of info on the 'Net.

I'm beginning to wonder if the day will ever come again when I wake up in the morning and my first thought is about my life and my goals, instead of these recurring thoughts that the true intent of bush is to destroy this country and the world. The man loves death and destruction, divisiveness and discord. It gives him a sense of power to know that he affects all, and none affect him.

edit typo, working on that first cup of coffee

7. I watch about 3 hours (non-cable, since I had it pulled years ago)
and have decided when Corporate America forces us to make the switch to the new televisions, I shall not go along.

To hell with television in America. And to hell with corporate America.
