Per Fox News...

[p23185]

Let's see if he passes the Dan Rather inquisition.

Locked and loaded - let's rumble. I am sure we will have our fight, bring it on!!!

[Toidylop]

I send my $100 contribution to the RNC with a note to tell them that we want everyone in the pubbies to vote for Judge Alito. AND I'LL SEND MONEY TO DEFEAT ANY REPUBLICAN TO VOTE AGAINST JUDGE ALITO. It's money talk!!! SIGH.

[Rutles4Ever]

Specter, Mr. Pro-Abortion, may not let him out of committee.

Specter and Alito are friends. He will fight for him.

[Wolfstar]

Bitter much?

Bitter? Heck no. I'm delighted. Judge Alito is a mainstream conservative of Italian descent. I'm a mainstream conservative of half-Italian descent. All is right in my world.

However, if you're asking if I'm alientated from the Ingrahams, Coulters, Frums, Buchanans, etc., you bet. I don't like them. I don't respect them. And I sure as heck don't need them to do my thinking for me.

[B Knotts]

Well, I think the bottom line is what's done is done, and now we have one of the best possible picks for SCOTUS!

Contact him NOW, everyone!! He's a WIMP, but he'll listen if we all scream loud enough."

Thank you. I will call and email and fwd it to my list. The more people that do that the better!!! 8) And here's to replacing him with a real conservative in the comming years. 8) **knock wood**

[B Knotts]

AND I'LL SEND MONEY TO DEFEAT ANY REPUBLICAN TO VOTE AGAINST JUDGE ALITO.

Well said!

[Reagan Man]

I hope all the angry rightwingers are satisfied with the pick of Sam Alito.

The President made a good choice.

[Petronski]

And I sure as heck don't need them to do my thinking for me.

Not an issue for anyone here.

Rut Roh!

[ZULU]

As long as the blood isn't ours - fine.

[Paradox]

People will object that Bush would never do such a thing to a friend. That's true; he wouldn't...but...what if Miers was in on the plan?

That would be strategery of the conspirational type.

[ohioWfan]

Amen!

[Phx_RC]

IMHO, if Roberts and Alito (or anyone in the Scalia mold) is all we get from W serving as president, then he will have done us proud.

A great big ditto for that.

[Grendel9]

Yes, we are. :-)

[Deo et Patria]

By the way, forwarded to Rush Limbaugh. Hopefully it will pop up on his site. Great job.

[mwl1]

Alito will be so impressive in the hearings that the filibuster option will die a quick death.

Meanwhile, bombard Senators of both parties with tremendous support for this nominee. Make 'em all feel the heat.

[B Knotts]

That would be strategery of the conspirational type.

Were it true, I would be extremely impressed.
