4. doesn't sound like he is filibustering
and as a member of the party in control who wants to see the vote pass, he wouldn't be filibustering anyway. he just might have gotten extensions of time or is using time ceded by other repukes to him....

5. How on earth does Orrin Hatch keep getting elected?????
This is the weakest argument for anything I have ever heard...
Alberto Gonzales should be confirmed because he's a good man.
He sould be confirmed because he's the first Hispanic to be nominated to the position.
He should be confirmed because people are using politics against him.
He should be confirmed because he has a compelling life story.
He should be confirmed because he's a symbol of the American Dream.
He should be coillegal codemakeRemote('duboard.php?az=emotion_table')
Smilies lookup tablenfirmed because opponents are distorting his words.
He should be confirmed regardless of his background.

Man a...li....ve....

Such dribble! On and on and on.... somebody stop him! Please!

9. Yeah, I thought the Repugs were the anti-quota party!
And now here they're as much as advocating confirmation just because he's from south of the border? Hypocrisy-o.

8. I think he was just eating up time
Trying to make it look like they're fighting for Senor Torturo as hard as we're fighting against him. Any news on the REAL filibuster? (Are we gonna do it or not?)

11. NO filibuster per CNN
Anybody else have CNN on. Talked about possible filibuster but say it's not even on the table anymore. Dems won't filibuster.

12. Mel Martinez to give speech in favor of Gonzalez in Spanish
I am so fricking disgusted to be hispanic. How can they be so fucking stupid. Just because they parade around a fucking token all latinos are supposed to rally around? This stupid hispanic jack ass is responsible for the possibility that some of our minority boys and girls hell any of our military men and women can be tortured. My god rally around a "token" what a bunch of morons. So the idiot emperor has figured out how to get more minority votes, put in a token, and the people we helped elect with our hard earned money to vote against these policies step right into line. I can not say enough, what a bunch of fucking morons, at least the rich vote for their pocket book. These folks are voting for fucking crumbs in the desguise of success. The real question should be why in fucking hell in 2005 that it is such a big deal for a minority or woman to be nominated for such a position, it should be par for the course by now. I am offended that people like Frist thinks he can be so ddamn patronizing. Wake up hispanic community, they are FUCKING USING YOU and laughing behind your dumb backs. By the way i can say all this because i am a hispanic and I seriously do not like being used. Mel martinez can go to hell, he is a diservice to his constiuients. Flame the fuck away. AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
