Republican Attacks on Sotomayor Will Alienate Hispanic Voters

I assume Christian doesn't pay much income tax, which is higher when abandoned unwanted children go on welfare with or without unwed moms. Taxes are higher when some believers put so low a value on their God that they refuse to pay 10% of their income to support preachers. They get religious tax exemption. So individuals and business owners are taxed to provide steaks, chops, roasts and wine to "professional servants of God." Churches interfered with science for so long that Ireland's potato crop was from one variety, and that kind rotted out. So America was flooded with paupers who brought with them that same kind of religion-induced ignorance. That "everybody come" ode should be removed from the Statue. It asks this hemisphere to invite more CONSUMERS, more polluters, more over-breeders whose big families pay tithes even if part of it is from a welfare check. Pro-Life thinks all conceptions might become tithers, unless aborted. The 10% tithe on $40,000 for forty years is $116,000. If the tither pays extra fees for weddings,baptisms, confirmations, funerals and church schools, that's a lot of money. i say Ban-Abortion preachers want that money.

R.L. you certainly are a piece of work.
Read some of the Judge's rulings. The "fem nazi" wrote several opinions supporting the position of the pro-lifers. but i'm sure you already knew that.
and thank you Dan and Alex. Apparently this prince among men is always on.
When you are done itemizing your drivel, go to Vegas or the racetrack. may you have a better "chance" winning based on your intellectual prowess there.

At last we see the true White Men in america, they can dish it but cant take it....Well they are just fearful and cowards, fighting to make sure that no one avenge them...but they are doing more damage to themselves than they realize and thats because God has confuse them beyond sense. God has abandon them and they fear that they have no position in america. Well it si paid back time and Hispanic is the highest growing group in America. The white race will be extinct soon.

It is sad, that white men can not take one tenth of what the rest of America has be subjected to for years. Is it possible that they are afraid of some form of repayment? Listen, women are not as inhumane as men. We do not desire to see anyone hanging from a tree.
I did not view her statement as racist, but we have taken a lot of racist words,and deeds for centuries. The latest racist attack was on Louisiana, when our President allowed those people to drown. Our President's mother, Mrs. Bush, said those people should be happy because they were living in poverty. This is the woman who raised our Ex-President?
Where was the outcry from the white men?

Totally, let's actually consider what would happen if whites were sent to a death camp as part of our analysis of whether Judge Sotomayor would make a suitable Sct justice. Good call.

Ms Sotomayor's confirmation is not in doubt. The votes are already there. The Republicans do need to question her on her views, but they cannot go overboard since her confirmation is already assured.
What is sad is that Obama selected a justice who clearly believes that there are two rules of law and two standards of behavior, one for white males and another for everyone else. Her statement that she can do a better job than a white male is forgiven, while a white male who said the reverse would be vilified in the press. We can have black, hispanic, gay and womens network groups in the workplace but none for white males. Black activists in Houston can demand the firing of a firefighter who said he did not approve of a black only firefighetrs group, but blacks are allowed to say that a white group should not be allowed.
Everyone should be treated the same, under the same set of laws and rules. The current trend to divide everyone by race and gender makes us a weaker less just country, not a stronger and more just one.

Here are some more interesting facts about Sotomayor, as well as a good way to remember how to spell her name!

To the person who suggests that President Obama is a "murderer" for being "pro-abortion" - I guess the fact that the phony-religious ex-Moron-in-Chief had THOUSANDS of American SOLDIERS and Iraqi CIVILIANS KILLED during this war started for PHONY reasons means nothing, right? Sounds to me like for conservatives, the sanctity of life pretty much ends at birth.

Glad to have you back taking up bandwidth with worthless drivel. You're still a wonk. Instead of patting yourself on the back, please let me offer a suggestion that I've seen you pull on other posters - if you're going to itemize your nonsense, do us all the favor of listing specifics on the rulings that Judge Sotomayor has made that you particularly disagree with, rather than just trashing by popular rumor.
And for pete's sake, get off the anti-Catholic when they don't fit your criteria kick - you're losing all credibility, dude.

The republicans should call themselves the republican white party of America. White people have played identity politics in America for three hundred and eighty nine years. They never judge people by the content of their character. Sonia Sotomayor is eminently qualified for the Supreme Court. This country is populated by white racist hypocrites- especially in the southern and midwestern states.
