WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen.

Kerry, in Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum, was marshaling support in phone calls during the day, Henry said.

Kerry was already doomed in 08. That man is stupid and he's unlikable.

Only 'unlikable'? That's like saying that Ted Kennedy or Michael Moore are 'slightly' overweight.

The truth of the matter is likely that Kerry knows there will be enough votes for cloture. His base will stay loyal to him, because he can say that he is in favor of a filibuster, when he knows that it won't happen. It's actually a no-lose position for him.

He thinks that Alito is worthy of a filibuster, but he's hanging out in Switzerland while the debate is on.

Makes me wonder if one of Kerry's ancestors called in "Pickett's Charge" from Aruba.

Our swiftboat pulled up near the bank of that rice paddy as the guys were talking about filibusters. I then shot this young kid in the back as he was running away, scratched my pinky on a burr on the trigger that eventually would lead to a Purple Heart, then reusmed talking about filibusters with my mates."--Traitor John Kerry to Manslaughter Ted Kennedy

Nice!

I turn the liberal books upside down and move the conservative books to where people can see them. I also turn the ketchup bottles around in the grocery store if I have an extra minute. It's the little things that place a smile on my face. Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-aht-aht-ahhhh.

Neither is he.

AMERICA SUCKS! Ask any (progressive) Democrat
by JB Williams
January 26, 2006

(excerpt)

Democrats are convinced that Americans keep electing Republicans either because they are stupid, or because the DNC message just isn’t reaching the electorate. How could their message not reach the electorate when the lamestream press covers their message daily on every front page?

Their message is out there, we hear it, we get it - it isn’t that complicated. Even my second grader gets it. Today’s DNC campaign platform can be summed up in two words… “AMERICA SUCKS!”

In short, nothing about America is right or good in the eyes of Democrats and their campaign message is, nothing short of a complete DNC victory can change that. This is their message… Everything sucks and only Democrats can fix it… We get it… We hear you loud and clear – like a broken record actually.

"Senator Kerry calls for filibuster of Alito"

In this era of "Brokeback Mountain", the term "filibuster" almost sounds dirty.
