James Dobson's statement (he is very very very disgusted)

[Robbien]

"This Senate agreement represents a complete bailout and betrayal by a cabal of Republicans and a great victory for united Democrats. Only three of President Bush’s nominees will be given the courtesy of an up-or-down vote, and it's business as usual for all the rest. The rules that blocked conservative nominees remain in effect, and nothing of significance has changed. Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Antonin Scalia, and Chief Justice William Rehnquist would never have served on the U. S. Supreme Court if this agreement had been in place during their confirmations. The unconstitutional filibuster survives in the arsenal of Senate liberals.

"We are grateful to Majority Leader Frist for courageously fighting to defend the vital principle of basic fairness. That principle has now gone down to defeat. We share the disappointment, outrage and sense of abandonment felt by millions of conservative Americans who helped put Republicans in power last November. I am certain that these voters will remember both Democrats and Republicans who betrayed their trust."

1. this disruptive, destructive hypocrite needs to put his sackcloth & ashes

on and go cry into the wind somewhere, preferably where there is a fire burning ...

2. "..the vital principle of basic fairness."

Fuck you Dobson.

[in_cog_ni_to]

3. He's pissed? The repukes are pissed?

THAT is a good thing, but I think that's the ONLY good thing to come of this.

[Turbineguy]

4. Good

I'm glad he's disgusted. Now go do something disgusting, Dobson. I could suggest something, but this is a family BBS.

[Gothmog]

5. Music to my ears

This is just music to my ears.

BTW, Frist will not get the support of the christian right. Dobson is going to support someone else and Frist is the big loser here.

15. Unless Frist pays them back

They could have something in mind for later this year for their fundamentalist base to pull them back in. The republicans know they can't win without their votes.

[many a good man]

6. "Courageous" Frist and the backstabbing Republicans

BWA HA HA HA HA!!! :rofl:

This is NOT your country, Elmer Gantry. The Constitution lays out the law of the land, not your twisted interpretation of the Bible. Crawl back into your cave and let us return to the rule of Reason.

7. And ain't he the cutest thing when he's mad?!

[Gloria]

8. Yeah, but he's "grateful" for the "courageous fight"--

the Repugs have the wiggle room to redeem themselves and they are framing the Dems as "united", thus enhancing them as THE ENEMY.

Trust me, even the "wiggle room" is planned....the filibuster is "unconstitutional" and when the Repugs decide to fight it again to stir up the base, just before 2006, Dobson will be changing his tune.

It's all a setup....

[nankerphelge]

9. It's sad...

that they're even asking his opinion.

[Hissyspit]

10. Shouldn't that read "He is very, very, very disgusting"?

:7

[Bellamia]

11. At first I read it as he's very, very, very disgusting!:>)

Well, isn't he?

[derby378]

12. Who's madder than James Dobson over the compromise?

That's easy - DEMOCRATS. We're being saddled with some of the worst judges in America. We are so screwed.

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. I don't know, he said one thing to make me sigh and smile

"Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Antonin Scalia, and Chief Justice William Rehnquist would never have served on the U. S. Supreme Court if this agreement had been in place during their confirmations."

Ah, IF ONLY. Sigh. Smile. One can dream...

[Spiffarino]

14. Sounds like bullshit to me

Sounds more like it was designed to whip up the nutcases in Dobson's cabal. I smell a rat.

[FreedomAngel82]

16. You're not alone in that

I think so too. :\ What they have planned is what's worried to me.

[indigonation]

17. Yawn - Dobson who?

[NMMNG]

18. If Dobson is pissed

Something must have gone right...
