The speculation is over her having no paper trail of where she stands on abortion and the fact that she is Roman Catholic. I know plenty of Catholics that are not pro-life.

Nancy Pelosi is pro-abortion.

So's Mario Cuomo.

Considering that the pedophile protecting cardinals of the United States support Democrat candidates for office, and one can reliably say they're really pro-abortion, too, as well as pro-pedophilia.

What he did was preserve his reputation for being a ****ty "leader" more interested in compromise than principle. You'll just have to take my word for it, Americans don't trust Noot and he does not have a reputation as thoughtful or reasonable.

I think being able to admit when you're wrong show principles like honesty and integrity.

'Take your word...' Wha the... How old do you think I am, son?? I was around when Newt had his day in the sun. He got things done, brought the party back to relevancy. And his momma was a hoot!

I don't recall being a political party. Really, I do not span even a single zip code.

I'm not even a Republican, and more importantly, I never voted for this last Bush. He's too liberal.

We're not discussing someone admitting their error.

We're discussing someone retracting a correct statement to appease critics.

What does that act say about Noot's honesty and integrity?

What it says is that one doesn't have to look too far to discover why the GOP is unpopular with the people who supported Reagan.

Is your age relevant?

You can't remember when Noot got off the back of AF1 because he was ordered to by our Rapist President?

No. Claiming her latina vagina gives her better insights than what a white male can have is a racist and sexist comment, period.

Also, she's definitely racist.

People who just recite Hannit/ Rush talking points are funny in a scary (I don't want them around my kids) sort of way.

Scarecrow, why don't you do a little homework, check it out for yourself and not just believe everything Sean tells you to believe.

SUMMARY: CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC all took a comment Judge Sonia Sotomayor made on the role of the circuit court during a 2005 forum out of context. The context makes clear that Sotomayor was actually explaining the difference between district and appeals court justices, not claiming that she "believes court of appeals justices should make policy."

LINK

SUMMARY: Numerous media figures have pointed to a sentence from a 2001 speech by Sonia Sotomayor to characterize her or her comments as being "racist" while ignoring the point of Sotomayor's speech, which undercuts their criticisms.

Have Sotomayor's critics actually read her Berkeley speech?

Do a little research, think about it, form an opinion... or.

Memorize talking point and be a robot.

Ah, you mean you want them to be exposed only to people who will talk the approved interpretation of a racist remark, and not those who will take a racist remark for what it is.

Instead, I figure that I can't keep my kids in a condom, and shouldn't try.

Amazing what the Left will believe in just because they've been ordered to.

Hint: I don't do Hannity. I don't listen to Rush. Unlike the Democrats, I have a mind that I use.

The context makes clear that Sotomayor was actually explaining the difference between district and appeals court justices, not claiming that she "believes court of appeals justices should make policy."

How does her vagina make the differences between the appellate courts and the supreme court more visible? Considering that I didn't mention policy, you're jumping all over your strawmen in frantic haste to put the fires I haven't started on them out, aren't you?

Sorry, man, your views just scream Limbaumatron.

If it walks like a duck...

If it talks like duck...:rwbelepha

I hear it on Fox, then I read it in your posts.:coffeepap Independent, huh??

I guess we have to take your word for it about not voting for Bush.

But I picture you first on line at a Hannity book signing... Of course I'm an independent Michael Moore movie goer...not a fan, just a goer.

So, there you go... I will keep reading your posts, maybe I'm wrong...

Since the views are being generated independently, there's some validity to them, obviously.

Americans aren't like Democrats, they use their minds themselves.

Do you think everyone said she's racist?

Shall we go back to the thread about when she was nominated and how many conservatives here jumped on the "she's a racist" bandwagon"?

Now all of a sudden that she MAY be pro-life, they are suddenly able to forgive the racism. :doh

American said:
Beside, I'm just telling you what someone else said. All I know is I don't trust Obama.

Yes, we know you hate Obama.

American said:
Do you like her? And if so, say why.

I already answered this in a couple of other threads, but no I don't like her and I don't think she should have been nominated.

Scarecrow, I don't know if you're just getting back in town, but the majority of American's recently voted a Democrat into the highest public office.

This is "Why The Republicans Keep Losing".

They have no balls, but oddly enough, they're like furniture on wheels and can be pushed around all over the place. Sotomayor's comment WAS racist. Nor is it the job of the appellate and supreme courts to be "compassionate". Their job is to interpret the law, they're not supposed to care about the parties involved.

Yet Noot refuses to stand his ground, back pedals, and generally tells the people on the Right (in the right), the base of the GOP, that their concerns regarding the social marginalization of the majority, won't be opposed by the party that wants their vote but who won't do anything to earn it.

This reversal by Noot, demanded from him by THE REPUBLICANS, is emblematic of the entire problem the GOP has: No balls, too far left.

The sad part is that he is correct. Now he lacks the balls to stand on what he said.

Sotomayer IS a racist and her decisions ABSOLUTELY reflect it.

and the irony of you suggesting one is using talking points and posting mediamatters links is humerous to say the least!

His angle is that he might change his mind if she is basically pro-life. Apparently she might be or at least sensitive to it.

Next Era and other Libs stating it's OK to vote for a racist so long as she's Pro-Life:

It's a clever ploy to plant seeds of doubt in the minds of Libs.
Using one of their pet positions, killing life, to undo her nomination.
She has no public record on the subject to date, so by inserting this, I think, is a brilliant political maneuver.

Have her own party start to wonder if she will vote to nuke Roe v. Wade.

No doubt Rush will keep pounding it, and he's got some coverage from the press already... but of course they only tell part of the story... which allows Rush to correct them yet again; for the 30-millionth time... and keep the discussion going.

Beautiful.
He plays them like a Stradivarius... LOL.

I wonder how many Libs are combing her record for indications as we type away.

And you might have a good point, had I not ALREADY SAID I DON'T APPROVE OF HER before any of this. Now that either means:

#1. You have a problem with reading comprehension.
#2. You didn't bother to read my stance on it and chose to just open your mouth and insert foot with your unintelligent hyper-partisan Mantrums.

And I still have to laugh at how conservatives are BACKING down on the racist charge the minute they here she MAY be pro-life. PATHETIC.

Yes they did. We certainlyt have some educating to do. But not too much since it was a fairly thing majority, aginast a very ineffective Republication. candidate.

But I have tremendous faith that our best educator on the vapidity of Democrat polices will be, and indeed has begun to be none other than, Barak Hussein Obama and his Associated Comedy Troupe.

What possible good would it do for the Republicans to do as the Democrats do, and tailor their opinions and statements simply to get votes and win elections? Politics isn't like the NFL, where one roots for their team and wants them to win just because it's their team.

We seek to to take stands, popular or not that are based on facts, practicality, philosophy and principle. Sometimes, as in making sausages, it isn't pretty.

If we are defeated, it will be for standing for something. Let other Parties prostitute themselves for votes.

Oh and as for the Dems loving anyone, it is as I say the love of the harlot, for sale.

But that's exactly the problem. The country doesn't believe in your position and therefore you either get in touch with the direction THE COUNTRY wants to go or you can push YOUR direction and be relegated to the margins like the Constitution or Libertarian party. :2wave:

Scarecrow Ahkbar said "because the Republicans keep trying to follow the anti-American role".

Boy, you can say that again.

How does it feel to have something you said taken out of context simply to be twisted and used against you. :2wave:
