Will the Republicans ever figure it out?

Sotomayor is IN, Republicans are OUT! Why do they even waste their time? They keep holding onto a thread...for WHAT?

Update:

Creep, I own my own business and I'm 44 years old.

Update 2:

Tiedyed3, I like your POV! You basically put it in a nutshell!

Update 3:

Dave J.,I don't have a hotdog stand. I do custom wood finishes and I could work circles around you.

    They are playing to their base, the far right which is about 22% of the entire country. They know they can't stop her nomination but if it looks like they aren't trying, they will lose some of the base.

    Oh no you didn't! We are here!! And after the GREAT OBAMA and all his Obamites get done screwing the American people we are coming back. We will have to fix what he and his Democratic controlled congress screwed up. That's for What? Republicans haven't forgot the principle of "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. And Sotomayor? Really? She won't last.

    The same could have been said about Obama and the Democrats with the last two judges. It's politics in Washington. Despite what Obama said during his campaign, nothing has changed.

    I don't think so. I'm so sick of Republicans. They are like nasty little whiny children.

    "VIII. Thou shalt not steal, unless you've been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those do not have the motivation to better their own lives. SOURCE"

    sure, no problem.

    I. Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.) SOURCE

    II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore. SOURCE

    III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain. Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama. SOURCE

    IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy. SOURCE

    V. Honour thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. They will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money. SOURCE

    VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby. SOURCE

    VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are a conservative or Republican. liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of conservatives will be forever destroyed. SOURCE

    VIII. Thou shalt not steal, unless you've been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those do not have the motivation to better their own lives. SOURCE

    IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against any group unless they are conservative, Caucasian, or Christian. SOURCE

    X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet. SOURCE
