An over-the-top speculation?
i keep wondering how could someone like byrd and really any dem go along with voting for alito. we have all speculated on what the BFEE might have on him and others. well, what if the the evil ones are threatening another 9/11 if they don't go along and go along convincingly? since our people genuinely love the country, they'll forego a win rather than see us get hit again. kind of like solomon with the two women claiming to be a baby's mother. when he threatened to cut the baby in half and give half to each woman, the real mother relinquished her claim to the baby to save its life. have i completely lost my mind here scrambling for explanations for the inaction of some of our dems????

2. I don't know.
Bush's trip to Kansas was very strange. Rove was obviously trying to portray Bush "In touch". But
Bush was in front of 19 year olds so who needs pre submitted questions.

The Ruby Red Slippers...Junior thought that Jeff Gannon would think he'd look uber sexy in them.

We're not in Kansas anymore Toto.




On Edit: Dammit spelling error.

3. Don't know.
Being Dems in red states might have something to do with it...I could see Johnson being especially sensitive to that. But otherwise, I don't know.

4. if we get hit again, chimpy's career is over
he will have no support. His base thinks he's diligently protecting them at all costs. He would be washed up.

11. Oh, hell no! He'll just blame it on the Dem's giving aid to the enemy...
and his sheeple will follow him. The fear tactic is STILL working. Read this post if you don't believe me. This is the EXACT reason that our preznit can get away with ten 911's and his kool-aid crowd will STILL worship at his feet!

8. There's no Conspiracy Theory as to why we won't filibuster
We won't filibuster Alito, because we need to keep our arsenal for if Justice Stevens or Justice Ginsburg cause a vacancy or vacancies.
