"Dems Unable to Shake/Rattle Alito"-I keep reading that type of phrase

[liveoaktx]

or hearing it, and it's baloney framing by Republicans. The question isn't whether Alito can get tripped up, but whether his record is a good one, regardless of how he presents himself.

And his record stinks

National Bar Association- NO

NAACP- NO

Wasserman-Schulz-Women- NO

Hispanic Caucus- NO

Vanguard and Alito's record as told by plaintiff's attorney-NO

1. He was coached well..

They could have coached David Duke to be just as calm...

6. I think it was more than good coaching

there has to be some sort of psychosis behind it also. In my opinion a normal person could not spend his entire life lieing like Alito appears to have done. Years ago he started lieing on resumes or he wasn't lieing and is lieing even worse now.

There is something wrong with this man. Let's assume he was telling the truth about his affiliation with CAP. He did some outrageous things for simple and selfish reasons and acted like it was no big deal.

Yep. The Philadelphia Inquirer's front page headline yesterday was"

"Alito still standing"

What a stupid and insidious way to frame this event.

2. It's your typical majoritarianism conservative argument

Which basically says that if a majority agrees with their position, it must be the correct position, along with a year and a half of childish gloating about the 2004 election. They can't defend their ideas on the merits, so they resort to majoritarianism as a basis for their position.

[robbedvoter]

5. And the "majority" is made up anyway - fog and mirrors

Just because they own the bullhorns and Diebold, doesn't make them a majority - never were!

3. this is why I refuse to read the MSM, or subscribe to their

publications

they are partly to blame why we are in Iraq

eventually karma will come and bite this EVIL administration, along with the people who allowed it to happen

[Catch22Dem]

4. Well, that's not what the Dems were TRYING to do!

They were TRYING to get him to answer some goddamn questions, and he failed miserably.

[librechik]

7. all morning long Tweety and chorus say " Dems looked like fools

really? I didn't catch that exactly.

Thanks for repeating the Pukkke talking points, media. Republicans: distinguished and collegial (while lying, drooling in their strait jackets and pounding the bible) Dems: foolish, while performing their hopeless jobs as minority members. Yeah. Huge contrast there.

What a circus.

[spanone]

8. No One has mentioned it is the SENATES' DUTY.

Fuck the media. FTM.

[shance]

9. He was tripped up a bunch. And, its not a contest if you keep

answering with the same pat, evasive answers.

I thought he did not do well, but the Media Industrial Complex has their marching orders to sell Alito at the expense of Democracy.
