4. Obviously covering his you-know-what for re-election.
Of course, when you look at the origin of both Dem senators who are voting for him - Nebraska and South Dakota - not really surprising. Too bad, though.

6. I don't know why
the Dems can't stick together on this one. Of course, I knew they wouldn't. I expected it it. But I hate to be right, sometimes.

2. Good for him! After all, we have to support our president in a time
of war, he knows best and is only concerned about our welfare!

Ooops, sorry. I was channeling Holy Joe there for a minute!

7. I wish he could look into the future
Someone needs to point out to him what the country will be like with this type of court.

11. Another red state Democrat up for re-election.


As the race went down to the wire, South Dakotans went to vote knowing that losing Tim Johnson would be losing something important to their interests - but Republicans were energized by unprecedented White House support for their candidate. Across the US, votes were flowing against Democrats as Republicans strengthened their hold on Congress and seized control of the US Senate. But in deep red South Dakota, Democrat Tim Johnson withstood the tide with a 527 vote advantage returning him to office. Our strategy was designed to let Senator Johnson run as himself and on his record of "Working Hard. Making a Difference," at a time when many Democrats were conflicted about the image they needed to portray to voters.

Meanwhile, a conservative judiciary group hopes to pressure democratic senators like Tim Johnson.

An ad is airing in both South Dakota and North Dakota from the Conservative Coalition For A Fair Judiciary. The organization bought more than $100,000 in TV ads, urging voters to push their senators to vote for Alito.

The Family Policy Council is also calling on Senator Johnson to support Alito's nomination.

13. Anyone who votes for Bush's kangaroo judge is responsible
for the things this man will do in the future! NEVER FORGET, who these people are! * NEVER!

The people who are voting for Alito, are voting for turning America into the Kingdom of the GOP.
