Our requests are eminently reasonable, shared by leaders of both parties. I'll return this letter to @SenateMajLdr with the same requests.

(15,286 posts)I won't cite any examples of 'uglican "puritanism in the pulpit" type behavior or claiming to care about "their taxpayers" (while pickpocketing everything).
KKKarl and other treacherous turd/slime-balls have certainly infected the good-ole-party. I wonder if they will ever see the sunlight again; or are they by their own treachery doomed to live in the swamp?

(15,286 posts)Please use and understand that I have used whatever "memes" seem useful. This one is only one of many to describe the party that hatched Gingrich, Nixon, Halstead, exTerminator deLay, Norquist, Grove, etc/etc/etc.
Money has taken over the party of Lincoln. If I say it has done the same to the dems, this post won't show up atall.

(34,456 posts)The nominating party has done much more vetting than has happened this year and obviously will pull some otherwise qualified candidates with problems rather than send them forward. This makes the hearings even more important.

(30,058 posts)Paper work so it can be better and then the hearings can procede, right now the holdup is not the Democrats in the Senate.

(1,236 posts)No one cares. Instead of playing games how about getting really vocal and keeping that up on a daily basis, every damn day. You cannot count on the media pointing out the hypocrisy, the crap, the evil.
We all know what to expect. If we do not start real campaigns against this now there will be no chance in 2 years to get enough back to stop this garbage. We must fight, because everything that goes wrong for the next 2 years will be hung on the Dems and ignorant GOP followers will believe every piece of shit thrown their way.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with Schumer's letter, I just do not think it accomplishes anything. Scream from the rooftops that we will be seeing scandal, theft, abuse again and again because of these crooks that are being installed. Social media, full page ads (the DNC has the money), Twitter armies, whatever it takes.
I admit I am at a loss as to just what might work, I just do not think a letter to a man who has no conscience, ethics or morals will move to actually do the right thing.

(3,284 posts)As long as Dems are wiling to fight like fiends on specific issues, and not depend mainly
on mild measures like this, resistance can still be significant.
