1. see, the repubs are unified in their response - no pelosi's in sight
and no dianne feinstein saying alito sounded so reasonable and that we ought be nice and not try
and block his nomination.

3. So what? Have you forgotten?
The power lies with the people. As Gore said in his great speech today, only the people can save the Constitution and democracy in America now.

We the People.

Not party spokespersons.
Not the press.
Not legislators.
Not judges.

Us.

Sue

4. I predict
that every Repub spokesperson on tv uses that exact phrase. I have already heard it today whenever one of them talks about the speech.

6. Mehlman: "I'm not a president, but I lick one's boots on tv"
To make the pathetic attempt to describe the powerful speech we all heard today as 'desperation for attention' is plainly desperation for relevance by ShrubCo and the rnc.

9. My Democratic friends
who are senior citizens are saying that for the first time in their long lives they are basing friendships on political parties. They have never even thought about doing this before, but now they think that the people who support Bush are such mean-spirited, irrational people that they don't want to waste their time with them.

Personally, I don't want to be buddies with anyone who cannot argue the facts but instead resorts to name calling.

15. Don't let them get away with it. Gore WON!
Al Gore never lost an election. He lost a court ruling.

Tell them about this:
http://www.research.fsu.edu/researchr/winter2005/features/battlefield.html

LdHS: It’s an embarrassing outcome for George Bush because it showed that Gore had gotten more votes. Everybody had thought that the chads were where all the bad ballots were, but it turned out that the ones that were the most decisive were write-in ballots where people would check Gore and write Gore in, and the machine kicked those out. There were 175,000 votes overall that were so-called “spoiled ballots.” About two-thirds of the spoiled ballots were over-votes; many or most of them would have been write-in over-votes, where people had punched and written in a candidate’s name. And nobody looked at this, not even the Florida Supreme Court in the last decision it made requiring a statewide recount. Nobody had thought about it except Judge Terry Lewis, who was overseeing the statewide recount when it was halted by the U.S. Supreme Court. The write-in over-votes have really not gotten much attention. Those votes are not ambiguous. When you see Gore picked and then Gore written in, there’s not a question in your mind who this person was voting for. When you go through those, they’re unambiguous: Bush got some of those votes, but they were overwhelmingly for Gore. For example, in an analysis of the 2.7 million votes that had been cast in Florida’s eight largest counties, The Washington Post found that Gore’s name was punched on 46,000 of the over-vote ballots it, while Bush’s name was marked on only 17,000

up an immunity to the sick rhetoric of the disease ridden republicons.

It's bouncing off me and zooming right back into their cesspool.

kenny-boy melhman isn't worthy to give President Al Gore a foot bath.
