Sotomayer;The brilliant mind "they" claim she is

Ameen, ameen! Obama refuses to release his records from undergrad or law school, too. He was lauded as an afirmative action student and Harvard Law Review editor, but still, seems to have much to hide.

For those of you who still can't get over Bush, wait until Barry bombs big. You won't be able to hold us back

We don't have to wait, Barry has been, according to your ilk, responsible for everything wrong with the world since before humans existed, let alone when he was sworn in as president. And you repeat yourselves silly with dire predictions of his future failures. Anything can become 'proof' Barry is/was/will be a failure.

You will never change the mind of the VJ right & they will never admit any facts that dispute whatever garbage they are spewing on any particular subject... its a case of a bunch of close-minded know-it-alls with a very bad case of loseritis. Just consider them mindless entertainment, kind of like watching Dumb & Dumber.

I fixed that for ya. Now it's more in line with what really goes on here.

Most people bailed on Bush AFTER he screwed things up (his approval ratings during the first couple of years were similar to Obama's now, i.e. around 60%) but the VJ Right has been bashing Obama even before he took office, so I think your perception of reality is pretty skewed.

Think what you want. Elections are for beating up on candidates, and current presidents are ripe for a beating, too. Yet you guys are stuck on stupid when it comes to Bush. He's history. Move on and deal with now. At least when we're beating up on Barry, it's about RECENT news. It's hard not to notice that libs use Bush the whipping boy as a diversion from what Barry deserves to be beaten up on.

You know I am 100% right about Bush being bashed after he was given a chance vs. the VJ Right (and the right in general) beating on Obama before taking office. I'm not sure if you were on VJ while Bush was in office, but the VJ right rarely said anything negative about him (and by any objective measure he was a bad President) yet they have been blasting Obama before day 1 in office. We can agree that any candidate is subject to criticism but where you and I (and the VJ right in general) part ways is that I'm saying give Obama a freaking chance.

like the chance to spend 10 trillion on health care over the next 10 years, like what's being bandied about in washington right now (and surely you know that any figure cited by the government is always lowballed).

Where's Marc when you need him??

This thread is an excellent situation to be derailed by some Marc'isms.

Don't you guys ever get tired of the usual left/right blah blah? Nobody is convincing anybody of anything anyway.

I'd just like to see the same standards applied across the boards (no pun intended), but I'm not holding my breath. As for Marc (aka Rogue) I just knocked back a few, so I'm in the mood for one of his drive bys!

Let's see. How soon was that chance given after the Repubicans were accused of stealing the election from Al Gore?

Plz. Get real. You're too young for Alzheimer's to be an excuse. The only reason why Bush had a breather was because of 9/11. And you know what? I don't take my cues on when I can decide whether to like or not like a president's policies from pseudo-"moderates" on VJ who don't seem to have a clue about how every action has a reaction. Some of you would be happy to sit idly by warning others off of Barry while he takes us down the wrong path. Libs didn't wait for Bush t go totally bad before they howled. We won't either.

Watch it with the personal insults. You can make your points without getting personal. Offending posts - and posts quoting offending posts - have been removed.

Clarence Thomas also admits to being a product of Affirmative Action

If it's true that Thomas benefited from Affirmative action in any meaningful way then Both He and Sotomayer robbed someone of the place they earned.

No one gets to the head of the line without pushing others back.

That's right, because we all know life is a zero-sum game.

And here I thought rising tides lift all boats, eh?

A rising tide does lift all boats.

This phrase has been used by two people that I can recall, JFK and Reagan, in both cases they were referring to economics.... I don't see how this applies to sub-par candidates getting ahead of other for no other reason than the color of their skin.

... All the while telling the entire student body they should be blind to race in their handbook.
