More time's spent on choosing The Apprentice
Edited on Fri Jan-13-06 07:23 PM by realFedUp
than revealing to the American public, through
a couple of days hearings, a nominee for the
lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.
Just one of nine people.

Most Americans don't have the luxury of
watching all or even part of the hearings
on Cspan and so get their information from
sound bites on radio or from pundits.

They won't know that during the hearings
(and maybe Laura didn't get a chance to watch
the full two days) that it was the Democrats
on the Judiciary committee who asked the
substantive questions on Mr. Alito's record
as a judge...questions that we Americans
deserve to know about.

Donald Trump wouldn't hire anyone without doing
so either.

1. Reality POTUS
I think in 2008 we should turn the election into a Reality TV show. The Democratic Party should just create a half hour show and buy time direct. Maybe there could be a volunteer component with the prize being a job in the DNC. 8 volunteers travel with the campaign and are given various tasks, etc. Maybe people would actually watch and hear what the campaign actually has to say instead of what the whore media says.

3. Here's an eye-opening stat, real - Newt's congress scheduled 2 1/2 days to
discuss changing the name of the airport for Ronald Reagan, and less than 3hrs to discuss impeaching Clinton.

That's how much the Republicans care about constitutional process and congressional responsibility.

8. So, do you think if Alito had been on The Apprentice, he would be winner?
I think Donald would have fired him for sucking
up and lying.
