What do you think of Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court??

[billyjoe]

For nearly 200 years it was an unwritten rule. You had to be a white male to be a Supreme Court judge. Think of the misqualifications some of those guys got away with. Maybe 200 years of non white non males only would start to get things back to even in this country. I've got nothing against Sonia Sotomayor and I don't know any more about her than I did about any of her predecessors.

Belizean Grove...Hell, I'm more Belizean than Sonia...My wife was Belizean before she became Naturalized...My wife also happens to be a British Creole who gets all sorts of crap from the Republican party since she did volunteer work a number of times.

Anyway...I doubt that there are a whole bunch of Belizeans in Sonia's Social Club in NYC...From what I have heard so far she is one of the most racist people in the public sector...She must be stupid too if she thinks she can get away with it...And sorry Pete...I think she is homely at best.

When the heck are the impeachment proceedings gonna start???

I can summarize why we need the electoral college in two sentences:

Look at the mess in Minnesota over Coleman/Franken. Multiply that by 50 in a presidential election year.

Convinced? I am.

Hey ski...first of all. I like reading your posts about stocks & we all have something in common here. We want to make some money in the market. Politics is another story. I wasn't really planning on getting into it but hey it's just a discussion I suppose.

This probably says alot about me. Not to side track but I think this is relative. Let's go to some other chapters in history for a minute:

Clinton/Lewinsky. I'm guessing you say Clinton lied & basically should have been prosecuted, etc. etc Right? I say I'm glad he lied & I think it's ridiculous they even questioned him about that stuff, it was none of their business & again just so there's no confusion, I was glad he basically told them to stuff it.

Chapter 2: Gore won, the stacked Supreme Court handed it to Bush. No doubt you don't feel that way.

So this says something about me & probably about you also. We just come from different ends of the spectrum.

I appreciate your service to the country. The Viet Nam War ended when I was in High School.

i am also curious to know if you are black.

Why, because I voted for him? You know I'm not black but that's a ridiculous question. I too like Guiness though. BTW it took more than blacks to get him elected.

i would like to know how you feel about him and what he is doing these first 4 months in office.

I don't care for all his policies. I thought his speech yesterday took balls. It won't matter though. That battle's been going on for thousands of years & he's not going to resolve it. He appears to be trying to do things & I appreciate the fresh approach although in the end it'll be like every other presidency. Nothing will get done, it's too hard.

I believe in our political voting and electoral system

I do not believe in the electoral system....should be popular vote all the way. Don't waste your time trying to convince me why the electoral college was created.

but i dont want to hear it from this guy or anyone else about holding back on criticism when it is our right to speak our minds about him or anyone else.

Who's trying to quash your voice? Rush? Sean Hannity?

I liked Bush...I'd like to have a beer with him. I'd never vote for him for president however. After 9/11 I was with him & his philosopy though....somebody over there is going to pay, even if it's the wrong guy. I admit it, I just wanted him to go kick somebody's ass. Okay that didn't quite work out although there's a few less "Evil Doers" in the world.

Anyway....what did C close at today?

I am not black but I tan very well.

I'm neither black nor tan, but I do like me Guinness!

Hey man, you can't be right all the time however I do appreciate your analysis of stocks.

everyone is entitled to their opinion. being wrong is no big deal as long as you substantiate your position and thoughts with factual evidence. i try to do that with both politics and stocks. i would like to know how you feel about him and what he is doing these first 4 months in office. i think he and his wife are as racist and prejudiced towards white America as any white Americans are towards blacks. personally i dont care about what color a man is as long as he is legitimate and doesnt try to piss down my calf or insult my intelligence. his track record with the acorn organization and the rev wright show exactly where he is at and where he developed his beliefs early in life. what i really dont like about him is that he thinks he can tell us anything and that we will believe him or worse that it should be taken for granted that we believe him and that when we call him out on some point, if you're white, you're labelled a racist or anti-American. he's a junior senator from Illinois, who has no real international political background, no experience in international politics, and swayed the far liberal left thinking vote to win this election and the presidency. thats ok with me as he won fair and square and i want him to succeed so that the country succeeds but i dont want some junior senator from illiinois thinking he knows what is best for me or my country.
I believe in our political voting and electoral system but i dont want to hear it from this guy or anyone else about holding back on criticism when it is our right to speak our minds about him or anyone else. in my mind i have earned the right moreso than he has or alot of the liberal left minded. i fought and killed for this country and i will fight to keep it the way it was meant to be in our constitution. it just may come down to that.
i would like to hear what you have to say in defense of him and what you see there that i dont. i am also curious to know if you are black.

Yeah, what is he?

he's got alot of anger in him about the USA. he's a socialist that wants to change what a capitalistic America stands for. he's a muslim that's hiding his allegiance to the middle east faction. he hates israel which i dont mind because im not in love israel either. he feels that he must apologize for America's past actions. he's a liar and a fraud. he has aligned himself with acorn and the rev wright who are anti white and anti american but live off the freedom that America provides to both. he's got the air of being intelligent but in my opinion he's just arrogant and alot less intelligent than he's made out to be. he doesnt understand anything about economics or the capitalistic way having been brought up under the entitlement programs and grants for his entire life. he's looking to redistribute the wealth in this country but wants to make sure that he lives high on the hog along with his friends and appointments.

he's lucky

"Is that your final answer?"

[IIC]

Sonia Sotomayor is kind of easy on the eyes .....not a bad lookin' head !

Yuck...Your taste is all in your mouth.

[IIC]

The problem is that we sit around complaining about the politicians without taken legal action to get them out of office...I include myself in that catagory...We only have a bunch of Bozos in office because we let them get in office.

Now as you'll recall...I ran a write-in campaign for Prez...How many votes did I get...8.

[peanuts]

Yeah, what is he?

he's lucky

[yoyomama]

its just a matter of time before he is recognized for what he is. and we all know who and what he is

Yeah, what is he?
