As a Hispanic (Cuban-American), I’m outraged by Ted Kennedy, who recently called Estrada “hot-tempered.” (What exactly Estrada has done to merit such a description is, of course, unknown). Kennedy was simply spouting out a disgusting stereotype. This is an excellent example of how liberals hypocritically claim to support minorities - yet are actually only talking-the-talk for votes and are just as racist as anyone else, if not more.

And, as for the person who posted and called Ann Coulter a Nazi - can you articulate what exactly makes you call her a Nazi? I’m curious. I believe the only Nazi associated with Coulter is that despicable, liberal-agenda-pushing Katie Couric, whom Coulter referred to, aptly, as Eva Braun.

Republicans are taking this country over again - Thank God, and steering it back in the right direction. Go hide under a rock, Dems.

“As if Republicans haven’t been even more fascist about enforcing group thought and punishing those who go off-message.” My answer to this would be - John McCain or maybe Jack Kemp. They hardly stay on message. You should also read the papers with all the articles from former Bush Sr. staffers that bashed G.W. for his position on Iraq.

As for the rest of your statement, that’s how politics works. Democrats do the same type of things. So do greens and libertarians and anyone else.

Obstructionism is exactly what this country needs. The less the government is able to do, the freer we all are. But, blocking a nominee with a filibuster is just sour grapes.

As if Republicans haven’t been even more fascist about enforcing group thought and punishing those who go off-message. Or the GOP telling lobbying firms that they ought to get rid of Democrat staffers. Or telling contributors that if they show up on any contribution lists for Democrats, they’re not getting any favors from the Republicans.

So the answer is “No”, there shouldn’t be as much time spent on investigating a qualified judicial nominee who has so far been completely forthcoming, as is spent on an investigation of criminal behavior by a sitting president.

To suggest otherwise is demonstrates ignorance, and shows that you bought into the spin that Whitewater was only about politics. You probably also think that the Lewinski thing was only about sex too, don’t you.

Feel free to spout your “Witch Hunt” B.S. if you like, but nobody’s buying it.

Barney –

I have no problem with rejecting judicial nominees for ideology. In fact, I’d encourage it. Personally, I’d like to see all nominees rejected who don’t embrace a constitutionally-limited federal government.

But that’s not what the Democrats are doing. They’re not voting against Estrada. They’re preventing a vote from happening, by using procedurial shenanigans. Why? Because they know they’ll lose in a straight up-or-down.

A president shouldn’t need 60 votes to approve his nominees. He should need 50, plus his vice president.

And that’s where I have a problem.

This is getting old.

Also. Please note that clinton got all of his nominations - simply because the republicans felt that he won the presidency and therefore should get his nominations.

2) Short list of Repubs who’ve admitted rejecting nominations over ideology: Trent Lott, Orin Hatch, WH counsel Alberto Gonzolas…

3) Why the hell is he mentioned in the acknowledgements of ‘Slander’, written by that Nazi Ann Coulter?

Your theory of evolution is a little fuzzy. I believe that Hillary is as she always has been since the beginning of time, a hypocrite.

I realize the there is evidence for the existence of the following: dimocrat, dipocrat, additionally the heretofore unnamed hypocrat.

Unfortunately the absence of evidence for the existence of hipocrat, hipocrit, and hypocrit puts your theory of evolution in question.

The evolution of Hillary.

Now, while she’s at it let’s see her publicly support the movement to get a pardon for our scumbag former Governer.

As we all know, one isn’t actually hispanic (or black) unless one is a liberal democrat.

Please stop referring to this man,a conservative, as hispanic.
