Ed Henry on CNN: Kerry is pushing a Filibuster for his own agenda in '08!

[leftchick]

Good lord did you hear that shit? Ed henry and wolfie agree the call for a filibuster is all about Kerry's chances for the Dem. Presidential candidacy in 2008! Damn! I can not believe this shit...
I think I am turning CNN off for good....

:puke:

1. Don't watch it.

It's much better for your health.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

6. Confirmed: Watching cnn Makes You Go Blind! nt

[BlueIris]

17. What she posted.

Watching CNN makes the baby Jesus cry.

[rodeodance]

2. eddy babe--cable thas been saying that for an hr. now--copycat!!

[seabeyond]

3. sounds like people on du........ f* them n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

4. he's on again.....says there will probably be SEVENTY votes

for cloture

[leftchick]

8. I don't believe a fucking thing they say

I have to kill my tv.

:argh:

[Radio_Lady]

9. Frist has countered with calling for a trial vote Monday at 4:30 PM ET.

He probably has enough votes (60 to 70) to cut a filibuster off at the pass.

Depressing....

5. ::checking watch::

OK, I guessed it would take one hour and sixteen minutes for this meme to get shoved out. Anyone else get closer?

::reaching for the lollipop::

greedily,

7. how is doing something

that Wolf Blitzer said would be "an embarrassment to Dems" going to help Kerry in '08? Please, CNN, get your talking points straight.

[seabeyond]

12. you are funny, and smart. yup n/t

[blm]

10. Exactly what I said would happen. Kerry knows they will spin this against

him- hard to believe he is sticking his neck out anyway. Every pundit will be repeating this bullshit just so they can avoid the reasons WHY Alito doesn't belong on the court.

This is a very foolish POLITICAL move for Kerry even though it is the very RIGHT thing to do.

[seabeyond]

13. yup. so jump on and support hard ass. this is for him

doing for all "us" that felt so strongly about this. personally,...... i see it as america voted for alito, checking next to bush. we earned alito. ..... but i am all for kicking ass with kerry

[Changenow]

25. It would have helped if he'd

stayed in the country to defend himself.

[WildEyedLiberal]

11. Let them SPIN.

DEMOCRATS know how dangerous Alito is and how COURAGEOUS it is for Kerry to stand up and oppose him, KNOWING FULL WELL the backlash he would receive. If you want to watch someone triangulate for 2008, just watch Hillary.

[democrank]

14. leftchick....

Just try this for one hour. Turn CNN off. Walk away from it. You`ll love your little burst of power.
If you tuned into Ed Henry six months from now, he`d still be spewing the administration`s talking points. He`s not worth the aggravation.

[Gabi Hayes]

16. yer right....watching CSPAN I now: Durbin and Pelosi are on

un

filtered

[leftchick]

22. actually I have had it off for three days

I just turned it on for a few seconds when I read what Kerry was doing here. I am an idiot to think I would hear real reporting. It is on HGTV now.

[Bluebear]

24. When DUers watch CNN it's not the problem

It's Mrs. Murleen D. Crowe in Ames, Iowa, who hears this and says "Oh, I never thought of it that way. Of COURSE Kerry is doing this for himself."

[politicasista]

27. That's scary cause people believe whatever the media tells them n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

15. turn it the fuck off

you are an enabler of these assholes and nothing more. every second you watch you support the GOP. every time you click on their web site you support the GOP. It really is that simple.

[Plaid Adder]

18. WHO CARES why he's pushing for it?

I don't care why he's pushing for it as long as it works.

Criminy,

The Plaid Adder

[MoonRiver]

19. That's what I would have expected from CNN.coN

[politicasista]

20. Tuck Fhem

:banghead: :grr: :puke:

[mb7588a]

21. The first time i heard him it was his quote from

Schmidt at the white house, who has been handling the alito ordeal for bush.

[Changenow]

23. Waiting until it didn't have a prayer

made Kerry's gesture more symbolic than a real effort to lead a fillibuster. His motives are anyone's guess.

[WildEyedLiberal]

26. That makes no sense

How does it suddenly have more of a chance now than earlier? WTF? If it has a chance, it's because KERRY has called for it. If he had done it a week ago, magically Byrd would be on board? Your post isn't even logical.

[Changenow]

35. Big MO

Earlier would have been better than after the die is cast, that's all.

[depakid]

28. Why are people even watching this shit

and propagating their lies?

I don't get it. Do you enjoy abusing your fellow DU'rs by posting garbage like this?

[Dr Fate]

29. So what? The presidency is for leaders just like Kerry.

He wants to be the president, so he is leading. I have no problem with this.

[WildEyedLiberal]

33. Best respose to that talking point

In fact, I'm stealing it from now on whenever some douchebag - left or right - tries to demean Kerry's convictions and courage by accusing him of wanting to run again as if it would be such a horrid thing to have a president who was such a tireless fighter.

[coldiggs]

30. He is doing the right thing if that is pushing an agenda then so be it

[huskerlaw]

31. I don't care why he's doing it

I don't believe it's merely a political stunt, but even if it was I wouldn't give a shit.

At least he's standing up.

And if this is a political stunt, he at least has enough sense of reality to know what Americans really need and want.

[BuyingThyme]

32. So Wolfie is debating himself?

What's it gonna be, Wolfie? Backfire, or election-year asset?

[chat_noir]

34. send comments!!

36. I have boycotted CNN, they are propaganda now

[jillan]

37. Ed Henry is right - Kerry is speaking to the dem base!!!

It is no different than bushit telling his base that\
he will appoint judges like Scalia.

And politically, he made a smart move.
But Kerry is also doing this because of what Alito stands for.
