Sen. Jefferson Beauregard (?!?) Sessions...I just find it remarkably insulting that Sonia Sotomayor has to sit and be "questioned" by this slackjawed douchebag (apologies to any Alabamans on the board)
From his Wiki...
From his Wiki... Federal judgeship nominationIn 1986, Sessions was nominated for a federal judgeship by President Ronald Reagan. The nomination was killed by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which refused by a 9-9 vote[3] to let the nomination come to the Senate floor for a vote. Sessions's opponents accused him of "gross insensitivity??? on racial issues.[4] Sessions allegedly made a variety of comments that opponents pointed to, when he jokingly said that the Ku Klux Klan was not so bad until he found out that some of them smoked marijuana.[2][4] Sessions also allegedly referred to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) as "un-American" and "Communist-inspired" because they "forced civil rights down the throats of people." At his confirmation hearings, Sessions said that the groups could be un-American when "they involve themselves in un-American positions" in foreign policy.[4][4] Sessions claimed that the remarks had been made in jest.[2][4] One of those voting against him was Democratic Senator Howell Heflin of Alabama.

I hate that party. Like, if you tell me you're associated in any way, I'm gonna have to rethink how I feel about you. This is not to say that Dems are some paragon of governmental awesomeness. But, the GOP has just become such an overtly racist, white, faux-religious group of fucks that I am skeptical of anyone who would admit to being a part of that group.
F*ck 'em. F*ck 'em all. Rot in hell. I'm done with these fucks. F*ck Boehner, Palin, Sessions, Graham, all of 'em.
I really think the US would be better off with having more than two parties.
And when I say two parties I mean more than two parties that have any chance in the freaking world to get elected to something or get something passed. (More than once or twice)
Nah, there's good Republicans. I vote for Lugar in every election. He's usually my only GOP vote but he's a good senator. There will always be individuals in both parties who don't always do or say what the grandstanding loudmouthed attention whores talk about. They're just the one's staying out of the spotlight quietly doing their job while people react to the blustery politicians. The more Americans demonize each other due to political affiliations or parties then it becomes harder to see what the 2 sides have in common versus what the 2 sides differ about. And that sort of thinking is counter-productive to everyone on all ends of the spectrum.
No. I'm saying no. By virtue of letting their party become the racist ass dixiecrats of a new generation, by pledging your allegiance to that party, you implicate yourself.
If Lugar or whoever went Independent, or split off to start a Conservative party, I'd pay attention. But, the biggotted, bible thumping that IS the GOP right now indicts everyone in their ranks. Until they get some leaders to steer things in a different direction- hell, in an actual CONSERVATIVE direction- I will listen to NOTHING they say, and will only see them as the hateful fucks that they are.
I'm an independent, by the way. I'm skeptical of clubs. But, they are just awful, and I have zero use for them as they are currently constituted.
catch this before it get taken down.
