"Just like a liberal; trying to polish a turd!"
So what of the 6 million that moveon spent to keep those dangerous rightwing judges off the federal bench.
This fight is not over.
No fundraising organization can do otherwise, in yakkage to its donors, than to declare victory at every turn. Expect similar "We won!" garbage from the RNC.
I just gotta laugh, though, at the lies of MoveOn, starting with the notion that Bush and the Republicans were going to "seize absolute control over the courts." By, y'know, wanting up-or-down votes on nominations? Shyeah.
I hope someone is sending that e-mail hourly to the traitors.
"This Senate agreement represents a complete bailout and betrayal by a cabal of Republicans and a great victory for united Democrats...The rules that blocked conservative nominees remain in effect, and nothing of significance has changed."
With 7 Republicans pledging to oppose Frist's scheme as long as the Democrats stick to the standard for filibusters they've used all along — only using them in extraordinary circumstances — the "nuclear option" is deadEven a stopped clock is right twice a day--and socialists sometimes speak the absolute truth. (It's rare, but it happens.)
The democrats have never controlled all branches of government???
LMAO. INstead of voting for Cloture today, and then Taking each of the next two through the 100 hours process, they condeded the first three, and then....
The Republicans agreed not to nuke the filibuster,as long as the Democrats didnt use it.....
Yet Move-on feels...Vindicated?
Heh heh. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when these tools finally figure out that they are about to be swamped in yet another Perfect Rovian Storm.
Many of those radical right-wing judges are now going to get on the bench.. what exactly did the MoveOn toads win?
President Bush, Bill Frist and the radical right-wing of the Republican Party have failed in their attempt to seize absolute power over the courts.
Oh stuff it Soros, you psychotic elfin Tolkien creature. It's not as if Bush is appointing a judge to every federal bench in the nation, and his appointing judges to vacancies is now more an "attempt to seize absolute power over the courts" than any other president acting in his constitutionally-appointed role in making judgeship appointments.
Finally, before you get too maniacally full of yourself, just keep in mind even if the other 7 judges aren't brought to the floor for an up or down vote, Bush will just appoint someone else. So it's not as if those appointments are going to be Democratic nominees.
So go back into the hollowed-out knot in a tree you live in Georgie and let the adults run the country while you and your enormous eyebrows try to figure out your next move in undermining the nation.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory...
The RNC is acting like Terry McAuliffe after he lost after every election. He would come to TV the following day and declare victory, just like the RNC is calling this compromise a victory.
A large part is George Soros's money. I wonder how much each of the Seditious Seven stand to receive.
Goodbye troll
