That entire issue should be brought up again as a preemptive strike.

I believe the disgraceful Sen. Dick Durbin from my state of Illinois was one of the primary players involved.

The Democrats are devoid of class.

The Democratic Party, from the DNC to the flakiest looking staffer sitting behind Ted Kennedy, all suffer from "tin ear syndrome" and an insurmountable language barrier, separating them from "Real" America.

The Dem. Judiciary Staffer who is quoted in Prowler as saying they must "frame the argument with real impact on real Americans, in language they can understand," assumes the Dems have an argument to frame, and insults real Americans as unable to understand any but the simplest language. This way lies another smashing defeat for them.

John Kerry bemoaned from the day he got nominated that he could not get his message across. As he had already had as his theme how brilliant he was, it must have been us! Actually, he got it across just fine, and that's what got George Bush re-elected.

Leave it to the unutterably obtuse staffer who thinks Americans are dolts and we will have no problem getting George Bush's SCOTUS nominee confirmed.

If you are going to use term like SCOTUS [Supreme Court of the United States] please give a translation. Most people outside of Washington, D.C. don't know these terms.

CORNERED ON THE BORDER
RE: J. Peter Freire's Mr. Simcox Goes to Washington:

The President had better start listening, this is the number one issue with me and many of my friends. The border should be closed so illegals can not get in. I am not against legal workers, but the magic word here is illegal and the Minutemen have done a great job.

HOLD YOUR HORSES
RE: J. Peter Freire's Morons on Message:

"Anarchists"?
"Parade"?
"Intellectual Bankruptcy"?
"Mentally disturbed organizers"?

Mr. Freire, your little essay is nothing more than lambast and bombast. These are not anarchists by any stretch of the imagination (except yours). Your pathetic remarks are untrue. These people have shown intellectual honesty about a mendacious and mentally disturbed administration.

Get off your high horse before you fall off.
