Tip of the Iceberg

Thanks to the

footage recording her flippant asides to her colleagues ,we have proof that she comes with an agenda.

Bonnie mentions Roe "Right of privacy"

Roe v Wade is not totally about "privacy." To explain it better, imagine women with unwanted pregnancies, sitting in cars in all cities, ready to drive themselves to abortionists. If Roe is overturned, the civil government will return to enforcing Canon 2350, the Catholic law that says abortion is a crime. With Roe gone, the women won't be able to GO where they want to Go. They will have lost their MOBIILITY, They'll be like all Muslim women who must be driven around by male relatives, like luggage or pets in cages.

Sotomayor is still a bad choice

Democrats and leftist media like NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, and CNN have wax in their ears and will not report the truth.

But we can have the likes of ABC screwing the pooch tonight with their political contribution to the Democratic party for Obamacare, another faux paux crisis of great political proportion, but not fiscal.

White supremacists and Sotomayor

From the moment of Sotomayor's nomination, those on the right have viciously condemned her. Now white supremacists are claiming that "Jewish power" is responsible for her nomination - check out (http://contemporaryantisemitism.blogspot.com/)

for the full story on this!

Sotomayor

I emphasize that no self respecting Hispanic would join the GOP after he/she understands its hypocritical nature. When I first joined, under Papa Bush, I did not realize the magnitude of the hypocrisy. After coming to my senses, I quickly left the party and became an independent voter.

Sotomayor

The GOP is UNAMERICAN and HYPOCRITCAL at best. As a former Hispanic Republican, I cherish the day the GOP implodes. Its members decry allegiance to the Constitution but allow KKK sympathizers, like Jess Sessions, to deny minorities the very rights they hold true to themselves. The GOP supports the Second Amendment only because it ensures they can use weapons against minorities. Its male contingent decries family values while engaging in extramarital affairs. Unfortunately, its females have been "beat down" and are allowed to only mimic male philosophies. The GOP fancies itself “God’s Gift to America,” but its vicious and hateful acts clearly show it is more Satanic than godly. The GOP emphasizes that one should “pull himself up by his bootstraps” but then bashes people, like Sotomayor, who do. No self-respecting Hispanic would join such an organization. May it RIP!

J.C., Esquire (Independent Voter)

I agree

I believe it's called pick and choose your battles. Look at all of Obama's appointees so far. She is the only person qualified to do the job he asking someone to do. Napatalino has no qualifications to head of homeland security. and Don't even get me started on Geitner. So the GOP needs to let this one go and pay more attention to the other unqualified apointess.

As I HAVE SAID FROM THE BEGINNING...

Sotomayor isn't much of a judge, and she is driven more by her personal agenda than jurisprudence or intellect. However, Obama could have dug up a far more unpalatable, far left zealot - So conservatives, shut up and swallow this one.

The world turns and tradition, values, morality, fiscal responsibility and common sense will return... The only question is, will Republicans embrace these virtues - next time?
