Totenkopf Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Not shocked. Just posted it b/c the "threats" were so pointless and it was related to the subject. Seriously, though, "politicians mudsling" isn't really news... it's over a Hispanic Supreme Court Judge this week, it'll be over regulations on bin-liners next week. Too true. It'll always be something/s...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Rider Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090730/ap_on_go_co/us_sotomayor_senate This coming from the same party that both doesn't really need the reps to confirm Sotomayor, but also savaged Robert Bork. Chutzpuh. What was the first black Justice? What was he again? Oh, right, a REPUBLICAN. Shut up democrats. Not directed at you Tot, but the article.

Q Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Yeah, and they had to fight the Dems tooth and nail to get him confirmed. I still remember the Senate apologizing to him after it was all over and he was confirmed. It was the most political mud-slinging over a single issue that I'd ever witnessed up to that time, excepting maybe the Bork confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 This is typical Reid/Pelosi style politics--gotta rub their opponents' noses in it as much as possible, regardless of party, thought the Dems sure are taking advantage of the GOP on this one. This is the kind of unpleasant, unnecessary politics that I can't stand out of either party, and both sides resort to it far too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been following this all that much, but I must say.....this highly vaunted "change" sure hasn't happened yet, and what has happened I fear isn't for the better. I don't know if McCain could have done better, but I sure know I won't be reelecting my current senators and representatives if they keep this blatant mudslinging and despicable politics up.

Jae Onasi Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 I don't think McCain could have done any better, either, and he'd have been handcuffed with both houses of Congress being Democrat-led. I was hoping Obama would be able to have more influence over Reid and Pelosi, but it doesn't look like he hadn't quite developed enough clout to pull that off with such a short time in the Senate. Still, he's making more progress than I think McCain would have been able to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
