If the Democrats can’t unite to oppose this guy, they need to just quit. Now.

[…] Predictably, the usual nitwits have a problem with a candidate who’s not afraid to tell the American people the truth about homosexuality. Why these people would rather defend deviant lifestyles than the Holy Bible and the teachings of both the Old and the New Testaments is beyond me. Then again, these are the same kinds of people who defend Helioleftism, Darwinism, “global” warming, and the concept of the spherical Earth. Very little they can say should continue to surprise us. They’ll stop at nothing to hinder morality, decency, and rationality in America, and they’re proud- yes, proud!- to thwart their country in this way. […]

They will do neither.

Well, I might say âuniteâ or maybe put it as âact as a unit to oppose this guyâ in the sentence above, but you got that right.
BTW, arenât you supposed to be a college professor? Hopefully not in EnglishâŠlol j/k
I guess with this appointment Bush just wanted to return the fluffer love to Dobson and Pat.
dslak
Heh heh. He said ‘unit.’
Cyrus
Don’t you just love it when typos are relevant?
Dave
How does this tool (pun intended) still have a medical license?
capelza
Bush is just such a fucking moron…really.
The veterinarian he wanted for women’s health (why not..all women are cows, right?…or brood mares..in Bushworld)
Now this…who the hell is Bush even pandering to now? His base..like that does any good. Maybe this is just a big “fuck you”, or no qualified doctor wants to serve in his administration. Does Liberty University have a medical school?
Are we gong to see “the gay” dragged out again as a campaign issue? Is this an opening salvo?

A 50-49-1 Senate majority is not capable of stopping much of anything without cooperation from some of the 49.
Dems can oppose the guy, but can they actually stop the nomination? Not sure.
demimondian
Yes, TZ, they can stop the nomination. It has to get out of committee — and that isn’t going to happen. As long as the Senate is never out of session for ten consecutive days over the summer, the Prez can’t use the recess appointment power.

Sharp objects! Deaths seen in connection with anal eroticism! Gadzooks! Now, I’ve been around the block one or ten times, and I don’t know any gay men who have put scissors up their ass, much less died from it.
BEST.QUOTE.EVER!
ThymeZone
Recess appointment exists just for the purpose of making you (perpetually, and haplessly) wrong.
Unless the Dems figure out a way to run out the clock, I see another recess appointment coming our way. Don’t you?
Dave
I thought I read somewhere (and I’m admittedly too lazy to look at the moment) that Reid was going to essentially keep the Senate in session to prevent this from happening.
ImJohnGalt
I heard that too. I hope it’s right, and that Reid has the balls and the party discipline to pull it off. It would make the Republican’s go batshit insane(r). I picture a script something like this:
“Obstructionists!”
“Getting in the way of the Leader-of-the-Free-World!”
“Where are my cheetos?”
[gobble, munch, drool]
“Obstructionists!”
Jake
Yep. Dragged out and if Holesinger has his way, beaten straight with a 1/4″ pipe (female of course). Is Brownback on this committee? Maybe he’ll block the nomination because the good doctor failed to condemn female/female sex.
Me, I’ve got my fingers crossed for a scandal a la Ted sHaggard. Or a meteorite strike. I’m not picky.
demimondian
TZ — why do you think that Reid is going to call the Senate back into session every ten days all summer?
ThymeZone
For the same reason you think that the Senate is going to go without a recess for the next 1.7 years just to keep Bush from getting his guy into that slot.
Bombadil
Are you just assuming that your Republicans are to stupid to oppose this guy, too? Why does it have to be “the Democrats”? And at what point in the last six years were the Republicans called upon to “just quit now”?
Don’t be such a partisan hack, John. You’ve been showing some progress, don’t fuck it all up now.
The Other Steve
But that’s exactly what Reid has said he’s going to do.
The Other Steve
They’ll oppose him, once the Democrats actually point out what a flake the guy is.
Dreggas
Eh I thought the guys screaming about rampant lesbianism was Coburn, same state as brownback just as nutty.
Dreggas
Before attacking John on that line I think it would only be fair to point out the following:
A) The republicans in congress are still sucking on “lil bush”
B) Look at the republicans in the senate, don’t believe in evolution (not all), would vote to ban gay marriage etc.
Overall they would be “that stupid” as to not block this guy. This is a red meat for the base issue.
jake
Brownback stonewalled (sorry) a Bush nominated judge’s appointment for months because she attended a friend’s commitment ceremony in 2002. Sam I Am thought Neff might have gotten lesbian cooties that would hinder her ability to hear cases.
Brownback is from Mars, Coburn is from Venus.
I mean Kansas and Oklahoma.
ThymeZone
Uh huh. Do you think we should tell him that next year is an election year?
Aint gonna happen IMO, and he knows it. Recess is everybodys favorite part of being in congress. I don’t see them sacrificing their recesses to stop a SG appointment.
This Congress is all about posturing for 2008.
demimondian
It is? Really?
Gosh, and here I thought that two thirds of the Senate wasn’t up for election on any given even numbered year.
The Other Steve
Ohwell, so the SG guy gets to serve 3 months in office. whoop de do

it should be noted that holsinger’s mouth is both moist and resilient….
