A Confused Party

Though Republicans undeniably face difficulties, Democrats are ill positioned to capitalize on them because of their own problems, which amount to a veritable identity crisis.

The New York Times reports that while just a year ago senators of both parties said a Supreme Court nominee "who disagreed openly with the major abortion rights precedents" would face nearly insurmountable confirmation hurdles, the Alito hearings "cast doubt on such assumptions."

Why? Because "the handful of Democrats from socially conservative states were reluctant to be perceived as voting against him on those grounds."

Yet, according to a separate Times story, the apparently tone deaf Senate Democratic leaders "urged their members Tuesday to vote against (Alito) in an effort to lay the groundwork for making a campaign issue of his decisions on the court."

Well, when you have a party that is being led by the extreme progressive socialist minority you might just get confusion; or communism.

Thanks for the clarification. Anymore, your description could be either party.

tone deaf Senate Democratic leaders

Paraphrasing Rush, a rabid batty tone deaf political party that made Ted Kennedy its point man on ethics during the Alito confirmation hearings.

Suprised Bacus was a 'No'...wish those 60-70% for Bush Red states would see they hurt their views by keeping Dem Senators..Are any Red State Dem Senators in positions of leadership? Doubt it.

Same old Democrats. To Hell with who would be a good SC member, to Hell with country, it is all politics and power to them. And what do they do when they get in? Feather their own nests while buying votes with taxpayer money.

Stupid question.

This is a ch__ch. What's missing?

Even the Washington Post found Alito's qualifications outweighed any qualms they had about his views. These senators are cementing the case for making "obstructionism" a campaign issue.
