    No, representatives are despatched to Washington to characterize all and sundry of their district, no longer basically people who voted for them. they are assume to hearken to all facets of a controversy like they did with the affirmation and then make a judgment call. If all votes have been alongside social gathering lines why hardship to vote in any respect? too lots of that has long gone on recently and that's what's erroneous with Washington.

    You should understand the Republicans don't have much to do except delay votes, or say no, or say nothing. Michael Steele exemplifies the party's philosophy. When asked what the Repubs health care proposal is, he said they don't have any. They're just opposed to Obama's.

    P.S. Remember Senator Sessions being nominated to a Federal Court and turned down because of his racist remarks?????

    Msean says; "The longer the delay the more of a smokescreen they can create." Sounds like Obama in reverse, the quicker we can push a bill though the fewer people get to know what it conatins. Smoke screens work both ways.

    Simply because they can. Not that it will make a whit of difference. Yet another moderate Republican - Senator Collins from Maine - announced that she will vote for Sotomayor. Despite their votes not being needed, there are a surprising number of Republicans who have stated that she has their votes. It's just grandstanding from Sessions.

    The longer a candidate is out there twisting in the wind the more likely there will be some outrageous tid-bit of information uncovered.

    I think it's futile. What could possibly be more outrageous than an obvious and clearly stated feeling of superiority?

    you got me. It is a forgone conclusion that she will be approved. The whole hearing was a farce.

    The Demos have enough votes to force her being approved. Any Republican that dares to object will be painted as attacking a woman or a Hispanic and have that used against them in the next election. Wow, how did this country ever get to this point?

    The war on White folk has begun on a large scale with poverty & tyranny as a result. First were Obama’s comments about, “his animosity towards his mother’s white race,” then his association with Louis Farrakhan who calls white folk “devils,” then his longtime anti-white pastor Jeremiah Write and now his racist anti-white Supreme Court nominee. Do we see a pattern here?

    The nation created and founded by White settlers became such a success that all others flooded her, diluted her and now mere shadows of her former beauty remain hidden away in pockets of faded glory.

    Leftists often believe America’s greatest asset was her wealth and continue to loot it with the same socialist and communist doctrine we fled from to create America in the first place. The fact is America is great because of the liberty-based society created by those rich, White, men we call our Founding Fathers.

    American Indians’ animosity toward White folk started upon our first boat landing; when that the entire first colony was massacred by the Indians who had not yet invented the wheel. Subsequent history proves that American Indians are not native either, as DNA testing proves conclusively that they descent from the Island of Formosa (Taiwan). Countless archaeological sites of former American Indian sites now prove cannibalism and child-sacrifice was indeed widespread throughout the Americas. The oldest known bones ever found in North America, were that of Kennewick Man, found along the banks of the Columbia River, the skull was that of a Caucasian, not the Mongoloid skull of Indian descendants from Taiwan.

    Black animosity toward White folk is evident in the disproportional, Black-on-White, violent crime rate. White animosity toward Blacks started in Africa upon recognition of their brutal violence, cannibalism and willingness to barter their family members and fellow tribesmen. When Whites ran the farms of Zimbabwe, that country was a food exporter. When the Black activist, Mugabe butchered and/or deported the 7000+ White farmers upon coming to power, the population began to starve and now begs for food aid. –From guess who? (Whites)

    Blacks in America are the wealthiest Africans in the history of the world, yet even as a Black man sits in the White House, atop the RNC & NASA, Blacks still complain about racism and demand “special privilege.” -Once the “civil rights” game was played-out, the pendulum kept on swinging. Now in Mississippi’s Black dominated areas, the White vote has been found to be systematically suppressed by the Black majority. It seems equality was the farthest thing from their mind…

    Hispanic animosity toward White folk is evident with the large La Raza (The Race) membership and their willingness to march waiving the Mexican flag in the United States. The abhorrent violence in Mexico and the complete willingness of the population there to not only accept it, but to embrace it and to flaunt it offends the sensibilities of Americans and makes White folks in America question how they plan on creating a peaceful society here? -After all, the areas in the US with high Hispanic/Latino populations are infested with gang activity and diseases long cured in America like leprosy.

    Upon creating the most prosperous, peaceful, philanthropic and liberty-spreading society the world has ever known, White folks in the US could have sided with Germany in WWII. –Yet America decided to INCLUDE foreigners into our society and within twenty years of the conclusion of the war we did just that by passing the “civil rights” & “voting rights” bills in the US. –But equality was not the goal of minorities as is currently being found out, domination and oppression of White folks is the goal.

    The backlash against minority oppression and special privilege is starting to really resonate with the majority. As average Americans witness Obama and the communist (Democrats) loot the national treasury and create social programs for minorities at the expense of the majority who now realize they are little more than “rich white land-owners” to the minority who hope to tax their children of their national inheritance.

    If you are tired of political-correctness do something about it, join The Nationalist Movement. Last century ushered in the so-called “Civil Rights” era, but in the end we found out that diversity creates adversity. –And as this century, this millennium begins the era of “majority rights.” Long live majority-rule!

    The Nationalist Movement is waiting for you! The Nationalist Movement is a growing, non-profit, majority-rights organization. We believe in restoring order, by overturning pro-minority laws through peaceful, legal means. Join us today! -Let’s go “All The Way!”
