Getting Over Alito

TIME ^ | 01/15/06 | MASSIMO CALABRESI

[Hugin]

If you want to have some fun, try reading some of the Alito threads over at the DU. They are genrally tearing out hair and rending their garments, bemoaning the onset of Republican Fascism ushered in by Alito, and threatening to leave the Democrat party for good if the "DINOs" don't filibuster. Some of it is downright hilarious.

BTW, in case you didn't know, Mrs. Alito fleeing the hearings in tears was a staged event planned by the evil mastermind Karl Rove to make the RATS look bad. I wish our guys were half as clever as they give us credit for being.

You are a better person than I...

I visited DU briefly yesterday and then reformatted my hard drive and took three showers. I had to filter the shower water before it polluted my septic tank...

"Her emotional reaction sealed her husband's victory"


When this happened I told my wife: now just watch how bitter the LibIdiots and their media get over this. In the LibIdiot world, they are the only ones who are supposed to show emotions and thereby influence political debate.

Never mind that Alito is qualified to sit on the highest court of the land, what it boils down to (for the LibIdiot Media) is that his wife's "emotional reaction sealed her husband's victory."

The LibIdiots are just sooo boringly predictable. Rush Limbaugh has the easiest job in the world.

I thought Republican Fascism was here when George took office. If he's just ushering it in, I'm very disappointed. I want a refund from the VRWC.

...Harry Reid and other moderate Democrats...

Can anything in this article be believed when it contains a statement like this?

[msnimje]

Perhaps it is stupid to call the "guy" who always wins "stupid."

[msnimje]

A majority still want it legal

The majority of people educated about abortion do not want to keep it legal.
The majority of those who do want to keep it legal see it as a freedom issue AND think it only happens when the baby is some clump of tissue. Both are false.

[Joe Boucher]

That is what I got from the article too.
But this came from Time where they think ted the swimmer is just slightly left.

justice alito borked the sh*t out of hyannis orcinus.

Perhaps it is stupid to call the "guy" who always wins "stupid."

Yep, and that's exactly what I thought woofie was trying to say. I figured that he just accidentally left the </sarcasm> tag off that statement. :p

hyannis orcinus

Now, that's funny!

[You Dirty Rats]

who do the Dems think is stupid?

The 'Rats are stuck on stupid in more ways than one. They still can't figure out out someone who is allegedly "stupid" (GWB) can be smarter than they are (although after the Alito hearings, Forrest Gump would raise their average IQ). They are also obsessed with President Bush, who is not running again. Finally, to call them "So September 10th" is to flatter them -- many of these loons are still stuck on the Sixties (which really were stupid).

[Mercat]

Or as my five year old granddaughter would say, "Meany, no fair."

[goldstategop]

The Democrats should just get the vote over quickly. As they pointlessly seek to delay it, I suspect Harry Reid is Karl Rove's secret agent in the Democratic Party.

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")

"* Keilo decision is unpopular with Americans"

What is the Keilo decision? Have I missed something? Do you mean the Kyoto decision???

[dirtboy]

I think he meant Kelo decision - the one about eminent domain being used to transfer property from one private party to another.

[linda_22003]

It's the kind of issue people are ambivalent about. We don't like the "idea" of it, but people can always imagine that they or their daughter might "need" one.

[Casloy]

I don't think abortion is unpopular with Americans. A majority still want it legal.

This is less about whether abortion is legal than about my need and right to petition my government on the issue. The best the Supreme Court can do is throw out Roe V. Wade, in which case abortion stays legal till each state can pass legislation on it. There is no chance the Supreme Court is going to find abortion unconstitutional. I want the opportunity to work at the State level to either make it illegal or to restrict it. I may lose, but at least I won't have been robbed of that opportunity by a bunch of justices who legislated from the bench. I think it is highly unlikely abortion will be outlawed in any but a very few states.

"He's rope-a-doping them," said a frustrated Democratic aide.

LOL!! I wonder where the Liberals got this term? Rush and other conservatives use it all the time, guess we can tell the Liberals have been listening, have internalized it and now have expanded it to apply to other upsets of their agenda.
