"We'll pay at the ballot boxes if we continue to block **s nominees"

Who have we blocked? Judicial or otherwise, I haven't seen much of a fight on our side, but at least they wear their strategy out in the open: scare us back into the corner by threatening our voting base. Who actually believes this shit at the voting box? The only people I see running scared are the ones in our own party (sans Boxer, etal).

In the CROSSFIRE: the fight over federal judges. President Bush wants Senate Democrats to stop blocking his judicial nominees, but it looks like they are ready to say no again.

GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I have a constitutional responsibility to nominate well-qualified men and women for the federal courts. I have done so.

SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV), MINORITY LEADER: Unless there is something new that I'm not aware of with each of these men and women, we will vote the same way we did in the past.

ANNOUNCER: Conservative religious leader Pat Robertson has a warning for Democrats. They could pay at the ballot box if they keep opposing the president's choices. What's next in this showdown over the future of the federal bench?

Pat got a promotion; he's now GOD.

I can't wait to lay some real justice on your sorry hide.

What, are the fundamentalist Christians not going to vote Democratic anymore? bwahaha! BLOW IT OUT YER BLOWHOLE, PAT!

WE care how THEIR brainwashed base votes? Fix the way we are allowed to vote and they're gone anyway.....

That's what he's saying to us. We should slam it in their faces.

Heard Al Franken on Sirius today, he was invited to the Conservative political action conference, in Washington, DC Why???? Also heard Karl Rove has been giving pep talks to Republican to stay the course.
Why???? Al Franken's focus today was on a look back at Ron Reagan's 1976 campaign and what the good old days were like, how the candidates really campaigned on issues back then. Why are they looking back, they got it all now $300 billion for a preemptive war in Iraq, a huge exclusive victory bash in DC, total control of the MSM, yet something is wrong, it's winning but it feels like they are losing again & they are, every day the situation in the Middle East spins more out of control, more torture stories have come out, now we are hearing how paid contractors killed unarmed women & children.
For all their liberal stomping, they know what the Clinton years were like and now is nothing like it. What have they really achieved since Newt came to DC with his "contract for America" I wish Reagan was here now with his misery index.

hope they throw his ass in jail over HIS connection to ELECTION FRAUD! If the media would show him saying those words on his pulpit people would be OUTRAGED! Even Christan's know Robertson is a money hound NOT a minister!

He's already gotten most of them. He's done way better than Clinton. But no, we must accept ALL of them? Isn't that unheard of?

Evidently that's what they think they deserve to have in the USA. Because they have power, they think they are worthy, etc., like Lakoff says. It shows the arrogance of this bunch of no-goods. Pat Robertson in particular makes my blood boil!! :nuke:

Like the demented leprochan has more to say about our elected officials than we do.

I say if he and his target anyone in particular, we make sure we support that person to the hilt. Make sure these guys know they're not alone in the wilderness. Make sure they know we've got their back if they decide to take a stand!

I know what you mean about Robertson in particular. I grew up having to look at that guy. When I started contemplating faith and such, I let Robertson in particular confuse me. I thought if I wasn't HIS kind of Christian, I wasn't really a Christian. Rather the way some Repubs talk about their "squishy" Moderates and RINO's. I wouldn't be good enough unless I believed the way they did.

It took me a while to unpretzel my thinking, but I'm feeling much better now. Furthermore, I was extremely proud to find out how many of my fellow church goers were also Dem and also Kerry supporters. Once again, I'd been duped into thinking that they must be Republicans if they were going to church. Nope. Overwhelmingly Dem. Bless the ELCA.

But the radical religious right just screams the loudest, unfortunately. They are the ones who aren't acting very Christian, in my opinion. You know them by their works, I say. I judge a church by the amount of outreach it does--helping the unfortunate.

That democrats have let go through 95% of Bush's judicial nominations, yet they want to make it seem like the won't let him have his way... fucking ridiculous

"perfectly good candidates" making it sound like we were just being bitchy. Now I know the truth. Bush has already done well compared to previous administrations.

All I gotta say is they'd better not try to do to Harry what they did to his predecessor.

I wonder what Nixon, Carter, Ford and Reagan's numbers were as far as how many of their nominees made it through.

regarding the support of presidential nominees and how they were voted for by the senate.

We may as well go down fighting.

the fact that we will "pay at the ballot" box is a non issue IMO.

Will they steal their third -- or it is fourth election? Why is THIS intimidating? Will they steal it this time by a greater margin? Whoo, shaking in my boots here.

Robertson should never again call himself "Reverend." HE gives pastors a bad name.
