4. That's an odd reply since this is the nominee, he's a liberal, and they're sticking with him. nt

13. Time will tell. It's the *follow-through* that will produce a centrist nominee;
If there's anything we can depend on it's capitualtion to the right-wing both of our party and "the other." :(

5. Obama is a reverse racist. Always putting these minorities in power!!
Repubs hate people of color with power. It makes them nervous. Remember because the Black has taken over, the Brown, Yellow, and Red will start taking over too.

10. I LOVE it! The GOP has NO right to complain after how Bush chose the most conservative, activist
judges possible.

14. The GOP doesn't fear him. Obama's policies, especially within Foreign Affairs ...
almost mirrors BushCo's. The ONLY significant difference is that we would have let Israel bomb Iran by now. But no worries, Israel will bomb Iran and we will support them in the new WW III. As sure as hell, it's slotted as the M$M goes about manufacturing our consent.

Right now - all three of our Branches of Government are PRO-WAR Right Wing.

God Bless America ... OR ELSE!!!

24. I can't ignore it. The person's hate for Obama rather than the policies is fabulous.
Don't you remember the post where s/he was like Obama is weak and he's not fighting for health care and pushing it to the American public blah blah blah and then after wards s/he said, Obama should go back to capitol hill we know where he stands on health care after he did town hall after endless town hall. oh, it's a thing of beauty...I can't miss those. Plus I want to see their prediction proves to be groundless.

19. I've already heard about this "Commie" from the repug in my life.
My response was - how dare you say anything after those two activist judges were appointed by Bush - the ones who overturned a century old law. We just ended up in a shouting match - me shouting facts, him calling names. Isn't that how it always is when you try to have a discussion with a pig?

27. He's the nominee for the Supreme Court?! Really?
I thought he was for the appeals court?! Did you see this: Strongest argument I've seen for reparations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgR2I3mvz74

21. Fox News Dishonest Editing of Obama Judicial Nominee Goodwin Liu?
Edited on Thu Apr-08-10 10:48 PM by Hassin Bin Sober
I found this YouTube video relevant (it was posted the other day in the political Videos forum) because the Miami Herald article linked in the OP says Liu is in favor of reparations.

Another case of Fox news doing its job muddying the waters.

28. The GOP would put up a fight if Jesus Christ were nominated...
for a judgeship. Anyone PO puts up for anything will find it hard going; there is a bright spot though, whomever PO puts up is unquestionably intelligent and knowledgeable for the position they are nominated for...something the GOP has had the ability to find for a long time...they are hooked on morons. When I think of Thomas, I actually cringe, the man is beyond just plain stupid, he reaches all the way to idiot.

Why the GOP is terrified of intellect is something I fail to grasp...:hi:

29. It's very easy to grasp, actually.
Big Religion has always fostered a loathing of science and education.

The GOP of today is the political arm of the Christians.

That's why you find few intellectuals in the GOP ranks anymore, and those that remain are distrusted and not taken seriously in comparison to all the morons in their midst.
