So I got into a funk when the Alito nomination was announced
and lost my faith in the Democratic Leaders.

Man, did they EVER prove me wrong!

:evilgrin:

Leftover Halloween candy is great - but not swallowed whole!

10. He was talking about a filibuster.
Not about what happened today.

Some of us took the Rove bait and started foaming at the mouth over Alito, Reid did not. Thankfully.

11. Clarification.
Edited on Tue Nov-01-05 09:06 PM by mzmolly
Walt started a thread about shutting down the senate in response to the Alito nomination, not about a closed door hearing by Reid today.

We are all heartened by the fight by Reid and other Senators today, but some would have had us focusing on Alito and not the case for war. Important distinction.

And as far as I know, if we don't filibuster Walt may decide to go Green? I hope he changes his mind. :)

Walt, it's time for you to clarify perhaps?

12. Yes, I was referring to Walt's comment, "Did they EVER prove me wrong...."
and thanks for the clarification, mzmolly!

stand up and fight for the truth. And, in the end we all got a bit of wind in our sails - we need more of that!

:hi:

14. I'm really trying to be optimistic, but ---
this is only ONE DAY out of 5 years of wimpitude.

It sure would be nice if the Dems have grown a spine...
