The Dems got to prove what jack-asses they are in front of millions of viewers.

Hope we win over some more converts.

There is an African American former judge who described himself as militant on civil rights matters and unwaveringly pro-choice testifying now before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

He is testifying in favor of Judge Alito and his fairness. He said he often did not agree with him but has no problems with Alito and thinks he would be a great Supreme Court Justice.

"The conservative group opposed affirmative-action and lower admission standards"

Oh, that's what it was.

Odd how the news coverage twisted this into racism.

It a shame that will never see Kennedy-Schumer-Durbin-Biden-Leahy up on the rack like Judge Alito was.

If I was a black person, I would be plenty steamed that the phrase "lower admission standards" is a synonym for admitting more blacks.
Besides, getting into college isn't as important as graduating from college. Studies show that lower admission standards put kids in positions in which they don't succeed. Many accepted into schools like Berkeley would have been better off starting at a junior college.

"...after she endured watching the man she knew and loved smeared by a bunch of less-than-honorable men."

And every political geek I know was watching.

I thought long and hard about that. If anyone had smeared MY husband in public like that, I would've reacted the same way...and I'm one tough cookie! And I would've also been brought to tears by the apology as well. (Fine! I'm a little soft in the middle of my 'tough cookie' routine.)

What an absolute abomination of our system this has become. What an embarassment for the Dims.

But, some good will come of this. Every day, in many ways, the Dims prove to us that liberalism is a mental disease.

The Democrats are behaving more and more like the communists they love. The enemy within is legion. How is our country going to survive?

The truly pathetic thing about the cabal of 5 is they truly don't think they've done anything wrong. That just shoes how far they're gone, they've forgotten the basics of decency.

The most egregious attack is the allegation that Alito is a closet racist because of his membership in the Concerned Alumni of Princeton. The conservative group opposed affirmative-action and lower admission standards in 1984.

And what's wrong with preserving the academic integrity of the college by opposing any effort to lower academic standards in order to increase the number of members from some group?

These confirmation hearings provided valuable insight into the abilities of the Rats working under pressure, something that is not available watching 10 second soundbites on the evening news.

What we saw are five Democratic Senators acting like total buffoons. It was obvious that they were more interested in defining themselves with rehearsed statements rather than engaging in serious debate with Alito. The fact that they could barely muster a counterpoint to Alito's responses made it quite clear. In years past, the media would take the Rats' little soundbites and spin them into election year highlights. However, the new media sees all and knows all. Their gig is up.

Dems Forget Golden Rule at Alito Hearing

They forgot far more than that. They forgot their manners, they forgot how to behave civvily, they forgot to control their junkyard dogs like Kennedy, Schumer, Leahy, et al.

However, on the good side, the fact that they forgot their manners, they forgot how to behave civvily, they forgot to control their junkyard dogs like Kennedy, Schumer, Leahy, et al, bodes extremely well for Republicans.

IMO, the Dems will rue the day they decided to try to 'Bork' Alito. This one will come back to bite them in the butt big time.

Democrat congressmen are like ancient tribes that forced their victim to run the gauntlet. If the victim could survive the clubbings, the axe wounds and blows from the line of warriors he would be allowed to live. They are savages.

Democrats in the Senate have shown the world they're atheists.
