The funny thing is: she isn't that liberal. Take it from a real liberal: she isn't that liberal.

The reason liberals hate Limbaugh so much is that he sees through them, and then tells the truth to the public, far too often to suit them.

He's almost always right.

Stop...stop....you're making me spew coffee all over my screen! :laugh:

Very true.

 

[carpro]

Very true.

You're coming out against her?

You're coming out against her?

How do you get that? I was agreeing with BiR that she isn't very liberal.

And which way do most justices turn when they get on that court and are beyond being voted out unless they commit a blatant crime? As part of a dictatorial panel, there is no doubt she would rule with that "Latina woman has a better grasp of things than a white man" philosophy. I've never seen a justice become more right-wing once on the court, but many times they show themselves more left-wing than they presented themselves to get there; including Souter. It would have souted me if he'd left a couple of years ago.

Yeah. Right.

 

[Magnetic Poles]

Yeah. Right.

Not necessary.

"She's not that liberal."

Yeah. Right.
